I stayed with my eyes partly open, trying to catch my breath. This happened; Aaron finally took me after what felt like forever, and it was mind-blowing. He had never disappointed me when it came down to affairs of sex before, and he didn’t this time. I, however, noticed there was much more desperation today than the last time. It made it hotter. I didn’t think we had enough time, but after already going twice in the last thirty minutes, I had no strength to go again.My hand was on his chest, tracing a fine line over the ink on his skin, mesmerised by every line and pattern of it. I hope I someday get the chance to analyse every corner of his body and worship it.He leaned closer and kissed my lips, and I moaned into the kiss before deepening it. He pulled back and placed his head against mine. “Thank you,” he breathed against my face.“For what?”“For taking the step. If you hadn’t taken the step, I don’t think I would have, and who knows how long it would have taken?” His arms aroun

I didn’t even stress about trying to find a nanny to watch Zion while I was away. Aaron, just as he did in ensuring safety in my neighbourhood by acquiring security for me and Zion, made provision for that. He already thought ahead, and Ivan came over to stay with my son. He was the cool uncle, after all. I didn’t want to put too much into my appearance, but a part of me wanted to look good for this man. It was his first date, lest we forget, and it deserved to be special.My phone buzzed before the dressing mirror where I stood, and I saw the caller ID as Diya. I smiled, picked up the call, and placed the phone to my ear.“Zera! How are you doing?” Her cheerful tone came charging through.“I’m fine, Diya; it seems you’re out.”“Greg took me out to the newest club opening on East Street.”“Oh wow, you’re living the life with your husband, and I am happy for you.” I heard a honk from the car, and I knew Aaron was already at the door waiting.“Who’s that?” Her tone came off suspicious, a

I glanced at him before returning my focus to the rack behind the counter. “Is that why you came in here with your arms locked in hers? To get me jealous?”“Well, are you?”“What?” “Jealous?”My cheeks heated, but I stayed silent. Of course, I was jealous. Why wouldn’t I be? The two looked good together, but I remained silent.“It’s fine. I got jealous when I saw you and him talking earlier, even though I knew all that exists is friendship. Same with Ms Kira, the new biology professor.” His hand lifted to stroke my face, and despite wanting to pull away, I couldn’t help but lean in.“Tell me, are you jealous?”My eyes fluttered, and I fought the moan that almost left my throat when he sang his fingertips over my temple and down my cheek.“Yes.”“Why?” He asked with a tone laced with interest.“Because I love you.” My eyes fluttered at my admission, and they locked in his. “I love you, Aaron, and I am scared.” My admission left me in a vulnerable state, but I didn’t care. I didn’t want

“I don’t understand,” I said, because the more he explained, the harder it became for me to understand.“Six years ago, I was in search of a mate. Every alpha needs a mate. But unlike every alpha that just needs a mate, I needed a true mate, one meant for my soul. They would be the only ones who could balance the power that surged through me.”He took a deep breath, and his eyes fluttered to reveal his difficulty in saying this. “Six years ago, I was on a mission to find her, and I found you. You weren’t a wolf, as I expected. You were human, and I didn’t prepare for that. At first, I thought it was a mere physical attraction, but the closer I was with you, the more out of control I was, and I had to succumb. All alphas in my bloodline dating back to the great alpha King Xavier Ainsworth had wolf mates, so it made me question everything. It also made me question why I had the same feeling I’d have if I met a mate. The moon goddess’s ways aren’t ours, and so I was going to hold on to yo

I told myself the last time I came into my office and found Aaron, that would be the last time we’d do anything in my office, but I couldn’t keep to my words, especially when Aaron was involved. Sex before work has now become a frequent occurrence. I enjoyed it and won’t be a liar, but the effect was getting worse, and I couldn’t stop myself from wanting him whenever I saw him. We barely had time for ourselves because of our work and other responsibilities, so this worked best.Aaron adjusted his brown trousers and rose to his feet. He looked dreamy in his white long-sleeved shirt tucked into his trousers, and it was the sight that made me lose control this morning.I rubbed my hand over my face after adjusting my suit and pencil-mouthed skirt. “We can’t keep doing this at work.”“I know.” He took a step towards me. “I know, but sometimes I just want you so much it drives me crazy.” He kissed my cheeks and my neck.I wanted him to, and it was hard to control, but this was also my job,
