NovelOnlineI should be working and yet I can't stop thinking about Sadie.
The taste of her lips. The way her tears slid hot against my fingers. The storm of emotions she tried so hard to hide, only forto glimpse the raw truth beneath.
Fuck! Why did it takethis long to realize how beautiful she is? How cI never saw her for what she is? Kind, courageous, and wonderful.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvery day in my bed, right before I go to sleep, I beat myself up for being so blind. For not noticing her sooner. I've known her since she was a little girl; I had her chasingfor years yet not once did I ever notice how wonderful she is. She's perfect; I just wish I'd seen that earlier.
I lean back in my office chair, but I'm useless tonight. No amount of paperwork is enough to distract me. Knox is pacing inside me, restless, but not with agitation; he's happy. Content in a way I haven't felt from him in years.
"She kissed us," he rumbles with satisfaction. "She's letting us in. She's finally ours." I don't think we've ever been this content or happy in a long time. I'm a feared alpha. I've won countless wars. Won countless awards in the business world. I've conquered so many packs and taken so many pack lands... But none of those achievements could compare to the progress we've made with Sadie.
"We still have a long way to go," I tell him, my mind on ideas to make her fully accept us.
"I know," he says, "But at least this is something... before she wouldn't even allow us near her." A knock at the door cutsoff before I can reply. I don't need to ask who it is; her scent is already curling into the room, warm and familiar, wrapping aroundlike a tether.
Goddess, I could drown in her scent. It hypnotizing, drawingin like a moth to a flame.
Knox nearly howls in delight.
"She cto us. Don't just sit there, open the door!" then he adds sheepishly. "Fuck, I feel like a pup with a stupid crush, but this is so much more powerful because she's our mate." I'm already on my feet. When I open it, there she is. Her shoulders are slightly tense, her gaze flickering up atbefore darting away. She seem timid, unsure and nervous... She kind of remindsof how she was before I broke, something I'll forever regret and spend my entire life making up to her.
"She looks so fucking adorable." Knox practically rolls over at how shy she looks. "Sadie," I murmur, my tone softer than I've ever heard it. "Is something wrong?" She shakes her head quickly. "No, nothing's wrong. I just... wanted to talk." Relief and warmth floodall at once. I reach for her hand, and when she letstake it, I guide her inside, leading her to the sofa. My hand linger on hers, holding her and noticing how, despite being a warrior, her hands are so soft and so tiny and fit perfectly in mine.
Her silence hangs between us, and I notice the nervous energy berm Something's pressing on her mind, and She's finding it hard to say what's on her mind. Finally, she exhales. "I had so many things to talk about... but now they're all gone."
I get her. How many times have I had so much to tell her, but the moment I stare into her eyes, I lose my ability to speak?
I smile, lifting her hand and pressing my lips against the back of it. Hen t. skin tastes faintly sweet and something that's uniquely her. "You don't have to rush. Take your time." "I don't think I'll ever get enough of her." Knox gushes and I can't help but agree.
