The Beta's Missing Mate (Book 16 Of The Regal Eclipse Pack Series)

Chapter 57

Ana breathed out slowly as she finished bathing herself. She hadn't taken a shower since she'd left Missouri, and since Aidan was doing so, she might as well take one as well.

She stepped out and dried herself off, then pulled her hair down and brushed it out. She stared at herself in the mirror for a long moment. She felt like she needed to cover up. She reminded herself that Aidan had seen her naked. She'd stripped off her clothes in front of him last night. Though it has been dark.

But then a thought occurred to her. Could Aidan see in the dark? She bit her lip. But if she was going to be his mate, he was going to see her naked. It was inevitable. She just had to get over herself.

Ana walked back out into the bedroom and over to her bag. She unzipped it.

"Don't bother with putting clothes on Ana," Aidan called. "They'll just be in the way."

She looked up and bit her lip. Could she walk in there naked? Did she dare? She really didn't have the confidence to do it. She sighed and stared down in her bag.

"Ana. Are you overthinking?"

She frowned. How did he know? "Maybe?"

"You know you're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on, right?"

She scoffed at that and rolled her eyes. This thing between them made him blind.

"Ana. Come here."

She sighed. He's going to see you naked. He's going to see you naked. She dropped her stuff and walked out of her room and into his.

Aidan was sitting on the bed, still completely naked. For a brief moment, she forgot that she was too as she stared at him.

"Come over here."

She took a deep breath and walked over to him, stopping next to the bed.

"Are you nervous?"

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. "A bit."

"On my lap," he said quietly.

Her eyes traveled down to his cock.

"It's pretty much hard anytime you're around, Angel. Does it bother you?" he asked.

"Are you wanting me to sit on it?" She bit her lip as she eyed it. Aidan wasn't small at all. She'd been sore after the last time they'd had sex.

"No. Maybe at some point, but not right now. Would you be more comfortable if I pulled the blankets over my lap?" He gave her a handsome smile.

"No, you don't have to." She carefully crawled on the bed, aware that this was definitely not the most flattering thing she had ever done, and settled in his lap, straddling him.

Aidan placed his hands on her thighs, and Ana felt the nervousness she was feeling start to melt away. Her gaze darted back to his cock and she eyed it quietly. She lifted her hand to touch it, then stopped herself.

"Go ahead, Ana. You can touch me. Last time it was all me exploring you. But let me warn you: I can only take so much of you touching me before I'm going to need to just fuck you," he warned her.

His words were like music to her ears and sent desire shooting through her. She met his gaze, before she wrapped her hand around his cock and rubbed her thumb up the piercings.

Aidan groaned, his head tipping back, and his hands tightening around her thighs.

"So why did you decide to get your, um, penis pierced?" she asked curiosly.
