Ridge’s Pov

I stepped out of the bathroom, a towel draped around my neck, still drying the water from my hair. The shower had been hot; maybe too hot, but it helped dull the edge of everything that had been burning under my skin since the moment Blake walked away from me earlier.

That woman was going to be the death of me. I had actually walked away from her now that I thought of it, but still… you get the gist.

She was stubborn, and I knew that from the start, but even if I didn't, there was nowhere to push her now.

The room was quiet, except for the soft sound of wind brushing against the curtains. I rubbed the towel over my hair once more, then glanced up, and stopped completely.

Blake was on the balcony, framed by moonlight like something out of a dream, and I had to pinch myself to be sure it was reality. The shirt she wore barely reached the tops of her thighs, and the soft breeze teased it just enough to stir it against her skin.

Her hair was down, loose and wild, the w

    Ridge’s PovI stood there with my breath held like a lifeline, watching her lying on our bed, her bare skin bathed in moonlight. She looked like temptation woven into silk and starlight, and it took everything in me not to fall to my knees in front of her. Maybe even throw in a worship or two, and tell her all the gory details of all I wanted to do to her, but I did none of that. Instead, I just stared, and stared, until I was full, but I didn't get full. She didn’t flinch, and she didn’t shy away either. Her eyes stayed on me; big, trusting, and lit with something fragile but powerful. If I were to analyze what it was, I would call it want or even willingness. God, I wanted her more than I wanted air. I dropped my sweatpants all the way now, kicked them aside, and walked to the edge of the bed. My body was tight with tension, hard in ways that bordered on painful, but I kept my movements slow. Controlled. This wasn’t about the fire that was eating… no, licking away at me f

    Blake’s Pov Ridge’s hands tightened slightly on my arms; not enough to hurt, just enough to remind me of whose I was. Who I belonged to. His. “I’m not running,” I said softly, not trusting myself to move. “Really?” His voice was a low rumble, his nose brushing against the curve of my neck like he was inhaling me. “Then why does it feel like I’m chasing you every damn minute?” I swallowed hard. “Because I needed time.” “You’ve had all day,” he murmured, lips brushing my skin so lightly it was barely a kiss. “You spent it with my sisters, in my house, avoiding your mate, while I walked around like a wolf on a leash.” I turned slightly, just enough to meet his eyes. He looked raw. Unfiltered. “Blake,” he said, my name wrapped in warning and want. “I’m not asking you to forget. I’m just asking you to stop pushing me away when I’m trying to pull you closer.” My heart thundered. I wanted to fold into him. God, I wanted to let it go. But I also needed to stand my ground. “I’m not re

    Blake’s Pov I stayed away from Ridge for the rest of the day but it was not out of spite. It was because I needed the space, seeing as my heart was still tangled in the images from this morning, and I knew if I spent the day looking at him; if I let myself melt at the way he always tried to fix things with his eyes, I wouldn’t be able to process anything clearly. So instead, I stuck close to Julia and Nina. We stayed in Julia’s sun-filled room, and they gave me a crash course in fashion and personal style. “Don’t let Ridge talk you into wearing boring things,” Julia said, holding up a rich emerald green wrap dress to my frame. “You’re his mate, not his damn assistant. You should look like royalty every time you enter a room.” “Agreed,” Nina added, chewing on the end of a Twizzler. “And if you want to wear jeans and a band tee, do that too. But do it on your terms.” They didn’t bring up Erin, and I was grateful for that. I let them play with my hair, try on heels I couldn’t walk

    Ridge’s PovTurning to Erin who had her hands wrapped around my arm, with gritted teeth. “What the heck is wrong with you?” I asked her, my wolf trying to push up again. She reared her head back, as she looked at me. “I'm just saying that you don't have to go after her, that's all.” I was angry, really angry, but I didn't want to do something I was going to regret, or I would have bitten her shoulder off, or a pound of flesh from that sultry neck she was showing off to me. I yanked my arm out of her grip, stepping back like her touch burned. “You don’t ever get to tell me what I do when it comes to my wife,” I snapped, my voice low and shaking with the effort to keep from shifting. My wolf was pacing under my skin, snarling for control. “You crossed a line, Erin. You don’t get to stand in my kitchen, wearing her clothes, touching me, and then act like it’s no big deal.” She blinked, her lashes fluttering like she was offended, or worse, confused. “I was just trying to remind you

    Blake’s PovMy throat was so painful, and I really didn't want to believe what was right there in front of me, but could you blame me if I did? Look at how closely together they were standing, and even though I couldn't see Ridge’s face, it still didn't mean I couldn't tell it might be that of… I shook my head, trying not to think about it. “Ridge?” I called, as if trying to make sure it was really him, trying to make sense of it if it was. He stiffened, I could see him tensed in his shoulders, then he turned slowly towards me, and it killed me, because the expression on his face seemed like he was guilty of something. “Oh God!” I mumbled to myself, just as he called my name. “I… sorry,” I said, swallowing hard. I wasn't even sure what I was apologizing for until I spoke again. “I didn’t mean to interrupt. I just… I smelled coffee. I didn’t know anyone else was awake.” My voice sounded too calm, like the calm that always came before the storm. “No. No, Blake. This isn’t wh
