CHAPTER 94: PLEASURE 2

"For all the terrible things I did to you. I wasn't thinking. My pride was so important to me than admitting that indeed, you were my mate." I swallowed hard.

I was going to witness a lot from this man that had an effect on me today.

"Y-you don't have to..."

"I have to, I promise not to be cold and hard on you. You are not her."

He meant Mabel.

And of course, I couldn't be that heartless to betray my second chance mate.

He leaned in, his lips brushing against my forehead in a tender kiss. The simple gesture filled me with warmth and a sense of belonging I hadn't felt in my entire life overwhelmed me.

Even Edric didn't make me feel like this and he was my first chance in life.

"Now," he said, pulling back slightly, "let's get some rest. We have a lot to figure out tomorrow."

I nodded, feeling a mixture of exhaustion and peace. As I settled into the bed, Ansel turned off the lights and joined me.

This was the first time I was going to spend a night with a mature man.
