The Alpha and his Awaited Mate
”Sorry, I couldn’t sleep...” I mumble, standing there awkwardly in my own boxer briefs.
Alex turns on his side and reaches a hand toward me.
”Come here” he says, his voice husky and thick with sleep.
I gently lift my knee onto the bed and crawl toward him. I lay down on my side, and the second my head hits the pillow, Alex pulls me in by my waist. I’m suddenly flushed against his front, our legs intertwining. I inhale deeply, his scent immediately grounding me, providing the peace I didn’t realize I needed to finally fall asleep.
