Unexpected - The Enigma.

Chapter-22

Author's pov:-

The moment Arthur opened the door, he noticed it.
His little bambi's eyes on him.

He smiled knowingly.
But then he chose to ignore it, running the towel through his damp hair instead.
Letting the water drip down his neck. Letting her look.

Well, he couldn't be happier than this.
His workout had paid off today.

He knew what he looked like.
Knew that being him, girls did find him attractive.
The thousands of female fans, the comments, the stares, they were proof of it.

But this...
This was different.

The corner of his lips pulled up in a small, satisfied smile at the thought.
Because thousands of affectionate eyes holding desire couldn't compare to hers.

His happiness came from knowing that she was admiring him.
His mate.
His love. And that feeling?
That was just another thing entirely.

His toned biceps along with those tattoos were gorgeous.
His tattoos were one of the most fascinating things to her.

He had so many of them.
His whole right arm was fully decorated with beautiful black ink.
The lines and details were so perfect, it was like a painting.
Except it was done on his body.

His back also had a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Wings spread. Fire curling around it.

But out of all of them, one grabbed her attention the most.
An outline of a wolf.
With a sun-like pattern around it.
She guessed it was his wolf. Especially because it had red eyes.

She noted how well it matched his strong Alpha personality.

She wanted to ask him about them.
Ask what the true meaning was behind those beautiful designs.
She wanted to trace her fingers over them.
To feel the ink against his skin.

'What are you thinking, girl?'
She frowned at her own sudden, sinful thoughts.

His back muscles flexed as he moved the towel to dry his hair.
His fine abs.
Things she'd only ever seen on TV or in movies.
Not like she was stalking hot guys or anything.

Now she really wanted to touch them.
To see if they were as firm as they looked.

His toned abdomen.
That V-line that dipped down and vanished beneath the khaki pants he was thankfully wearing when he came outside.

It was too much for her virgin eyes to handle.
And on top of that he was literally half-naked!

'Ufff, Anaya, calm down!'
She couldn't help it. Her eyes followed his every movement.
Until he finally pulled on his shirt.
Cutting off that mouthwatering view.

She unconsciously wiped her mouth.
Convinced she might've drooled a little.
But thank God she didn't.
'That would've been embarrassing,' she thought.

Arthur glanced to his side and caught her still staring.
She abruptly broke eye contact, realizing what she'd been shamelessly doing, and looked away.
Now playing with her fingers.
