All Chapters of Her Redemption, His Weakness: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Zira-My sense of sight, with the way he focused intently as he gently massaged my sides and stomach. His brow furrowed deeply, with eyes narrowed in concentration. His body was slightly tense, with his movements deliberate and precise. He seemed completely oblivious to everything around him and absorbed in his task.My sense of touch, with the gentle caress of his hands sending waves of pleasure through me, almost causing me to tremble under his touch. The warmth of his hands, and how I imagined what his hands would feel like on other parts of my body.My sense of smell, with the hint of cedar and pine scent on him. It wasn’t overpowering, but the aroma evoked a sense of ruggedness and the outdoors, which made me wonder if he had gone for a run with his wolf when I was at school. There was a slightly smoky and resinous quality, suggesting an earthly presence.My sense of hearing, by the way his breath was deep and steady. It was almost imperceptible. A quiet rhythm, with his intense

Zira-Moving to sit at the dining area, I sat on the stool closest to Axton so I could get a better view of what he was doing. While he grilled, I asked a few questions, which he answered with ease. He also explained cooking and the differences between that and grilling.When he finished cooking, we sat beside each other and ate. Our conversation was light and completely random. We moved from topic to topic flawlessly while backtracking to return to another topic.It was the most peaceful meal I have ever had. The food was great, but the company was even better. It also helped that I stopped worrying about what may or may not happen between us. Just being able to be in the moment was like a breath of fresh air.“Are you still hungry?” Axton asked when we finished what was on our plates.“No, I am stuffed.” I leaned back on the stool and placed my hands on my stomach. “I think I might have overeaten.” I giggled softly.“Well, you know the best thing to do after eating a lot?” Axton too

Zira-I wouldn’t mind his help, but I think I have reached my limit on how much intimacy I could handle with him for the day. If Ruby were still here, I could ask her to help me after I finish my bath. The look on Axton’s face made me think he was feeling a little guilty, too. I didn’t want him to think I couldn’t handle training this soon after getting injured. I was determined to see it through.“At least let me help you upstairs.” Axton said, but before I could refuse, he lifted me in his arms and carried me inside.When we reached my room, Ruby was inside, preparing my clothes for tomorrow. After the hectic morning I had on Monday morning, she took it upon herself to help me set everything out so I could easily find it. I didn’t need her to do it since that morning I had just been nervous, but I couldn’t deny that it had helped a lot this morning. I hated that I was having her work more, but I guess it was better than trashing my room to find something, and her having to clean up

Zira-After spending a bittersweet day with Ruby and her new mate, I returned to school the following day. I thought the day I had spent with Ruby would help, but it only made it worse. For a week, after Ruby left, I felt as if I was coasting from day to day.I got up every morning, went outside with Axton to exercise or train. After training, I would take a shower and get ready for school. While I was doing that, Axton made me breakfast, and then we ate together until it was time for him to take me to school. When I was at school, nothing major happened, now that Lukas was in charge.We were allowed to mingle with Academy kids, and surprisingly, they left us alone. I could sense that Allie wasn’t happy about it, but she didn’t do anything other than glare in my direction from time to time. Every time Allie looked as if she was going to approach me, Lukas suddenly appeared, and she would take a detour and avoid me.To keep myself from thinking about Ruby, which proved to be difficult

Zira-The following morning, when I made my way downstairs, I glanced towards Axton’s room. I wasn’t sure if he was home yet, but if he was, it was possible he was sleeping. Since I didn’t want to wake him if he was in his room, I quietly made my way down the stairs.Feeling hungry, as I hadn’t eaten much last night, I went directly toward the kitchen. It was still a little early, so I was surprised to hear noises coming from inside the kitchen. On the weekends, the kitchen staff didn’t usually arrive until after eight or nine, but it was only seven in the morning.When I reached the kitchen door, I hesitated to go inside because if they were early, I didn’t want to bother them while they were working. Slowly retreating, intending to go back to my room, I paused when my stomach grumbled. With a low groan, I walked forward and decided that maybe I could just grab a banana before I went outside to get in my morning exercise.Pushing open the door, I froze when I saw who was in the kitch
