All Chapters of The Alpha And The Baker: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Well, now was not the time to question that. Normally, I would knock before entering someone else’s home, but since Arietty had verbally delivered our invitation, I figured it was fine to walk right in.And what a scene we walked in on.It was nothing out of the ordinary for me, but when I opened the door and a wall of sound hit us, Felicia’s eyebrows just about hit her hairline. She flinched at the raucous noise.She recovered quickly and grinned as we took our shoes off in the foyer and entered the main hall that led to the dining room to the right, the living room to the left, and the kitchen straight ahead. I’d visited enough to remember the general layout. Siobhan had her own personal collection of fold-up tables so that no matter what room we ended up in, there would be seats for us.“This way,” I said, gesturing to the dining room. It was likely to be more crowded because the young ones preferred the living room. And as much as I loved the teens, preteens, and kids, they could

“Maybe I could give you a cooking lesson sometime,” she said, her tone sliding all the way back to flirtatious. I would be lying if I didn’t admit my heartrate ticked up. Could it be, after all the missteps, that she was still interested in me?“Oh, yeah?” I countered. I swore I had something more clever to say, but then her fingers were intertwining with mine.So simple. Just palms touching palms. And yet it felt so much more intense than that. Her heartbeat thudded steadily against my hand, reminding me we were both very much alive. And even if she was a human, even if I was a wolf, we both had hearts that pumped blood throughout our bodies, kept us warm, and thundered in our chests—as mine was doing now.It was hard to believe Felicia could be real. Yet when I looked beside me, she was there, real and beaming at me like I was something—someone—special. She didn’t look at me like I was a new alpha struggling to do right by his people. She looked at me outside my role, outside my wol

All thoughts about Felicia being cool to the touch evaporated when the heat of her tongue touched me.I was in for one hell of a ride.Felicia grabbed my hand and put it on her head, making sure I buried my fingers in her thick hair. My wolf and I rumbled, hardly daring to think she could mean what we thought she did. “Set the pace. I’ll tap your thigh if it’s too much.”Holy fuck! She was too perfect. How could she speak to the gentler sides of me, the sides that wanted to protect, worship, and coddle, as well as the wild side of me that wanted to bite, and breed, and bruise? I’d never really found a balance—too full of anxiety and trying to make the best decision possible for my pack, too wild to settle down and establish a bloodline like I was supposed to.But all of that vanished with Felicia. It was all so easy. So natural. Just the two of us, how we made each other feel, and nothing else.“Tap three times,” I growled.The way her pupils dilated had my cock throbbing in her grip.

“I do,” I rasped, bracing my hands on his shoulders so I could catch my breath. I found it insane that this whole face-sitting thing had started because he needed a break after nearly losing it from me giving him head. That did wonders to my ego. I didn’t care what kind of awful customers I got for the next month—none of them would be able to say anything to me to diminish this feeling. “Please, Cas.”I wasn’t usually one to beg in bed. It often felt a bit degrading, but there was no such sentiment like that with Cas. I wanted what I wanted, and that was okay. Everything was safe with him.How could I possibly feel that way about a guy I’d only just gotten to know? Statistically, it seemed impossible. Then again, he was a shifter, so maybe statistics weren’t exactly relevant to the situation.“Your wish is my command,” he said in a perfect mirror to our first time sleeping together. And then, the next thing I knew, I was suddenly on my knees, my chest pressed down into the hot mattres

“Yeah, why not? I might not be a baking whiz like you, but I can follow instructions. I can wash dishes and haul any heavy packs of ingredients you might have.” All my muscle had come in handy when I’d helped her with her flour delivery.The smile that grew across her face was downright angelic. I didn’t think I’d ever seen anyone look so happy at the prospect of my company in the kitchen. It was certainly flattering.“You got yourself a deal! I’ll go heat up a couple of breakfast sandwiches if you want the bathroom real fast. I’m guessing you’ll want two or three?”“Two will be fine.” I grinned at her. “I imagine that I’ll probably be sneaking little bites of delicious things all morning.”“I have a name, you know,” Felicia said with a cheeky grin as she hurried out her bedroom. “I’ll even let you lick the spoon if you’re good.”That was a convincing argument if I ever heard one.Although my wolf wanted to go back to bed, I got up and went to the bathroom to refresh myself. I was sli
