A Walk on the Wild Side

Chapter 12

Jasmine's POV

We entered the pack house, heading up the slightly familiar stairs I took when I last visited - in my drunk state. Instead of turning off into the guest bedroom I was carried to the end of the corridor. Alec placed me down on a huge bed with soft, silky sheets that I allowed myself to be consumed by.

The sound of water made me lift my head slightly from my splayed position on the bed and I noticed Alec's hunched form by the bath.

"You're actually running me a bath?" I called out to him.

"Yep" he yelled back, popping the 'p'.

"Come on" he came over and nudged me as I groaned, not wanting to leave the comfort of his bed. The smell of his cologne overwhelmed the sheets and I inhaled it deeply.

I felt his strong arms under my body as he lifted me from the bed and placed me on the edge of the bath. I'm usually not a fan of baths but standing in a shower did not seem very appealing to me, especially in my condition.

I began pulling my gown off when Alec cleared his throat. I felt heat rise to my cheeks, I had completely forgotten he was there. I noticed his eyes were fixed on me, making me blush even more deeply. Suddenly, a feeling of boldness swept through me and compelled me to take a hypothetical leap - I felt I could trust him and I wanted him to know that.

In one swift motion I pulled the gown off of me, leaving me in my matching lacy black underwear and the bandages that were still wrapped around me. Alec's eyes flickered between brown and yellow as he desperately tried to control his wolf. I leaned against the side of the bath, trying to swing my legs over it but I was struggling.

A warm hand on my bare side sent tingles all over my body and Alec helped lower me into the bath.

"Thank you" I said, my voice quiet.

Alec's POV

My eyes raked over my mate's gorgeous body.
She was tanned and her simple underwear emphasised her figure. Her breasts stared at me invitingly. The water obscured my vision of her sexy, toned legs.

'Mate is fucking hot.' Aiden grinned in my head and I completely agreed. The fact that she felt comfortable being in only her underwear in my presence made both Aiden and I was overjoyed.

I grabbed a loofah and used it to wash her body. She sat peacefully in the water and made no attempt at resistance as I rubbed soap on her upper back. I used my hands to trace over the mark of the legion that had suddenly revealed itself, even more intricate details becoming visible the more I looked at it.

'She must be relaxed enough to show it to us.' Aiden purred.

The only movements she made was to wash her lower body. Though we were silent, the air was filled with a sense of fulfilment. We were both where we were supposed to be. I gently massaged her scalp as I rubbed it with shampoo and I watched her as she closed her eyes, allowing her body to relax.

After she was clean, I wrapped a fluffy white towel around her petite torso, helping her step out of the bath. I held her in my arms whilst I used the towel to dry her. Once she was no longer dripping, I placed one of my large dark-grey t-shirts which completely covered her.

'She looks even better in our clothes.' Aiden smirked and I smiled at the adorable confused expression on my little mate's face.

"What?" She furrowed her eyebrows and I helped her onto my bed.

"Aiden. He was saying how good you look in our clothes" I winked at her, smiling even more as her cheeks tinted pink.

"Shut up" she murmured, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
