Alpha Brutus ✔

18 - kiss

Ember Harper's POV:

Seeing a half naked Brutus walking in was feeling like a full relief, especially after he smiled brightly my way as he started stepping towards me.

"He is all gone now." He voiced proudly, making an unnoticeable grin make its way onto my face as I looked up to him.

I was finally free, he could not harm me anymore...

"Thank you Brutus, thank you so much." Not knowing what else to say, I expressed my gratitude in the most simple way possible while I finally felt freed enough to smile.

My skin slightly itched, almost as if my body wanted to be in any kind of contact with him. I wanted to feel his warm arms around me, I was feeling worthy when I was with this man.

But instead of hugging him like I wished to, I sent another thankful smile his way before diving down beneath the sheets.

He also laid down, the feeling of his body dipping the mattress sending butterflies straight to my stomach.
Everything about him made me nervous and anxious, left my mind of in a clutter of fluffy dreams and wishes.

Not all of them were exactly innocent or appropriate to think, but I could not forget the image of his tanned body placed on top of mine that I created over these three and a half weeks.

It was late at night, the wall clock ticking three in the morning as I turned to my other side, not managing to fall asleep like the person that laid next to me.
The beautiful, astonishing being that usually screamed in danger.

But while he was resting his mind and body, he looked innocent and simply too easy to adore.

Who would know that I would develop such strong yet secretive feelings towards the man that I saw just three and a half week ago?

Even taking into consideration that I found out he was an animal, my feelings still did not budge.

Groaning quietly, I fell back onto the bed and unfortunately watched as Brutus's eyes opened.
Feeling guilty that I woke him up, I grimaced.

"Why are you awake?" He mumbled lazily as he pulled me towards himself with an ease.
Feeling as heat rushed to my face once again, I tried looking away from the dazzling eyes that stared straight at me.

"I couldn't fall asleep." I admitted shyly, slightly burying my head into the crook of his neck so I could sniff his intoxicating scent that would send any woman crazy.

But I am glad it was me who it sent to the clouds.

"Is there a particular reason for that?" He question suspiciously, his thumb grazing over my collar bone lightly until he felt me shiver.

Finally turning my head to look at him, I shook my head and grinned cheekily while I gave myself to the right to stare at him almost possessively.

He was perfect, truly.

"You have no idea how pretty you are." I blurted out without any second thought, my embarrassment flying over the roof as soon as I did so.

He barked out a light laugh, putting his perfectly shaped teeth out to display.
"Thank you, mi bella. You are pretty as well." He said, trying to mimic my tone in a humorous kind of way.
