The Alpha Prince's Mate (Book 7 Of The Regal Eclipse Pack Series)

Chapter 28

A few hours later, they were somewhat set up. He'd had to make both beds, though she'd helped where she could. He knew she was ready for bed though. "Do you want to change clothes?"

Her eyes fluttered to him and she nodded. He'd ended up ordering pizza. They hadn't bought much food, and he would have to go back to the store, but they both had their bellys full and that was all that mattered.

She disappeared into her bedroom, and he had a feeling she was less likely to call him to help her now since she wasn't trying to fasten things. But he was wrong.

"Ethan?"

He immediately headed for her room. "What do you need?"

She had the door shut and he'd stopped on the other side of it. She opened it and poked her head out. "I can't get my bra undone."

"Okay. Turn around." He pushed the door open and she was standing with her back to him, and to his surprise, she only had on her panties. He swallowed as he couldn't help but stare at her round bottom. It was nice and curvy and he wanted to touch it. He'd noticed it before, but this was the first time he'd gotten a better look at it. He forced himself to concentrate on her bra, and not on the fact that he was now actually taking her clothes off. He easily unhooked it and turned away from her. He was aroused now.

"Thank you."

He heard the door shut behind him and headed back into his own bedroom to get ready for bed. He felt like he needed a cold shower again as images of her perfect bottom filled his mind. He could just imagine gripping it as he entered her.

"Ethan?"

Her perfect voice interrupted his thoughts and he looked up to see her standing in his doorway, leaning against the frame. She had on an oversized T-shirt and her legs were bare. He couldn't pull his eyes off of her legs. "Yeah Mila?"

"Thank you for letting me live here. I'll give you money tomorrow. I'm going to go to sleep. I have to work tomorrow at ten am. Can you possibly take me?"

He was going with her, whether she wanted him to or not. He didn't trust Owen. "Yeah, it's not a problem. Good night, Mila."

"Good night, Ethan." She turned and walked back to her bedroom, closing the door behind her.

He let loose a sigh. He wanted her with him. Last night had been the best of his life, having her sleep with him. But that couldn't be a thing. Not yet. He partially closed his own door, then walked back over to the bed and stripped down to his boxers. He didn't normally wear them to bed, but since she was here, he couldn't run around naked. She might need him.

He crawled in bed and flipped out the light and got comfortable. But he couldn't sleep. Instead, he laid there, staring at the wall, the ceiling, even the back of his eyelids, his thoughts on her and the small glimpses of her that he'd gotten today, the kisses they'd shared and the day he'd spent with her.

"Ethan?"

Her voice was very soft and he realized she was checking to see if he was asleep. He opened his eyes and looked at her. She just had her head poked in the doorway, her brown hair hanging down around her shoulders. "Is something wrong?"

"Not really. But can I sleep with you? Like last night?"

Yes. Please. Maybe then he could actually sleep. "I'm only in my boxers," he warned her. Not like she hadn't seen him in them already. Probably a good thing now that he hadn't slept naked.

"Is that a big deal?"

"No, but you're the human," he said with a chuckle, as she moved further into the room.
