Unscentable

Chapter 29 - Unscentable

Piper POV

Piper sat watching Izzy, the woman was all over the place about Edward, had stopped calling him Mr Yummy, she’d noted. Was very confused about that text message he had sent to her via the work mobile.

Piper, however, was not confused by it at all. He was upset that his human Mate had runaway from him, was honest in his apology for yelling at her, likely felt bad and thought it contributed to her running away from him. His concern
for her safety and well-being was completely genuine. The whole, I’ll see you soon, just meant that he was on his way here, coming to see her. Wanted to be near her.

In all likelihood, he and his wolf were anxious that she had up and left and gone half way around the world. She was his Mate and he and his wolf had scared her off. His only desire now would be to fix it. Placate her and win her over. They would not like that she was alone and without a pack for protection. She was human and therefore very vulnerable in their eyes. If she’d been a werewolf, well...she would have understood everything and there would be no problem.

But Izzy was not. Piper had the feeling that Izzy would text him back, the woman was drawn to him, that much was clear to her. Humans could feel the Bond, it was just not the same as a wolf.

To them it was a strong sexual connection and when touched by their Mate, though they did not get those hot electric tingles, they still felt like it was the most erotic touch they’d ever felt, craved it. It still felt completely amazing to them. Made them hot and needy, wanton, easily swayed into their Mate’s bed
on any given occasion.

From what Izzy had told her, she just couldn’t help herself where Edward was concerned. Did not understand how she’d wound up in bed with him. Piper knew that Izzy was not the type to sleep around, dated yes, but didn’t just go having sex with anyone, had rules. She was actively looking for Mr Right and according to Izzy.

Mr Right would be happy to wait for sex with her. He would not look at another woman while they were out together, want her to feel comfortable with their relationship and only have sex when she was ready too.

Always came back to Phillip, who had cheated on her, scarred that woman’s heart. Phillip had not been her first lover but he had been her first real serious relationship and she had thought at the time he was perfect and had intended on marrying him. Then that S.O.B. had not appreciated what he’d had.

A strong and capable woman, with a mind of her own, who was intelligent and loyal to him, she did not believe in multiple sex partners at the same time, thought it was ‘Icky’ was the word she had used once.

When Izzy saw a man’s eyes tracking another woman while they were dating, out on a date, having a meal or seeing a movie, she ended it. Got rid of him, believed he would not be faithful. Phillip’s betrayal had sewed doubt into Izzy’s heart, and unfortunately, Piper hadn’t thought any man was ever going to live up to the woman’s standards.

Now there was Edward. He on the other hand, would live up to that standard, his eyes would never wander, not even if a parade of naked women or she-wolves walked passed behind Izzy. He would not care about that, he only had eyes for one, his Mate and that was Izzy.

It must be nice to have that. She sighed as pain touched her a little. She would never know, her and the Mate Bond, it was just pure pain. That literally gutted her and ripped her apart. Cursed as she was. But she would not deny her friend the right to feel loved and cherished and Edward would do just that, give her everything she desired if Izzy let him in.

Piper knew she was likely going to loose Izzy at some point now, it was just a matter of time, she supposed. Had no idea how she was going to deal with that. Or even if she could be happy about it. Not considering where she was going.
