Ari's Reverse Harlem Part 2

Chapter 13 Ari

I can't help the smile that's forming on my face, when I first open my eyes. Waking up to Square like this is a dream come true.

I'm not even paying attention, when I find myself tracing the outline of his face with my fingers. I run my index finger along his nose, his perfect eyebrows, and those pouty lips. I sigh. Have you ever seen a guy that was just too beautiful to be called handsome? It honestly makes me feel like I'm lacking compared to him. How could he ever want me?

I must have woken him when I was brushing his eye lashes. It's not my fault they're so tempting. They're so long, they look fake. I would be lying if I said I didn't have eyelash envy right now. I quickly lay flat and pretend I'm sleeping.

"Sweetness, I've been awake since you first started playing with me. No need to stop now." Square chuckles "I just couldn't hold still any longer when you were playing with my eyelashes. That tickled."

I'm still trying to fake sleep. I know I'm failing miserably because it's hard to keep the smile off my face when Square is near. I swear he gives off the most calming vibes to my wolf, she's always purring and at peace when he's around.

His nose trails across Adam's mating mark. At first, I'm filled with desire but then my heart just aches. I quickly make sure my barriers are up. It's been a routine of mine every morning. I make sure my barriers are in place.

I know by now my guys have probably already moved on. Since we never severed the mating bond, I keep my barriers up, in hopes it prevents me from feeling the pain of them having sex with other people. So far so good.

I only completed the mating bond with Adam, so technically he would be the only one who would be able to find me or communicate with me via mind link. I guess Nathan would be able to as well since he's going to be Alpha, along with his father. But since I severed my pack bond, I don't have to worry about that. Really, I never expected any of them to try and reach out or even look to find me. They are all probably happy I am gone.

"Sweetness, come back to me?" Square asks, looking down at me. He currently made his way to lay on top of me. I love the way it feels to lay underneath him. When I look up, I feel terrible. How dare I focus on my past when I have this beautiful man as my future.

"I'm sorry. Good morning." I'm attempting to smile. I can tell by the way he's looking; he wants to ask where my mind just took me. Because he already knows me so well, he doesn't. I appreciate that so much. Honestly, I can't find it in my heart to tell him about the mates who came before him. Maybe I'm embarrassed, because I know that conversation will lead to how I ended up here in the first place.

"Did you want to practice more on your magic today?" He asks. I'm thankful, I really do need the distraction. Days like this, when I would wake up thinking about the guys, it was consumed me for the whole day. I've been so happy since I've met Square. The ache in my heart from losing them doesn't hurt as bad. It's almost like I can breathe again, for the first time in a long time.

"I would love to practice. I want to practice every day. I had no idea I would be able to perform actual spells. This must have something to do with our bond because beforehand all I could do was manipulation. This is more than I ever expected and I'm really excited. I can't wait to learn that food spell you did." I say wagging my eyebrows at him.

He throws his head back against the pillows and gives me the most sexist chuckle. Watching his adam's apple bobble makes me want to lick it.

"Come on Sweetness, let's make some magic happen." He says while pulling me out of the bed. To my surprise, he picks me up, throwing me over his shoulder. On the way to the shower, I'm laughing at his antics until he slaps me on the ass. The action causes my pussy to clench.
