The Alpha and his Awaited Mate
His hand moves to my waist, and for a split second, I forget everything—the soreness, the lack of sleep, and my insecurities.
But just as I close my eyes and let my head fall back, the silence of the room is shattered by a sound that is impossible to mistake.
Pruu-u-uut.
It’s a long, wet, and suspiciously loud raspberry sound echoing from the crib.
We both freeze.
Marcus goes completely still against my skin.
Then, a second later: Prrt.
"Was that Ella or Leo?" I whisper, holding my breath.
Marcus lifts his head, a flash of pure amusement replacing the heat in his eyes.
