t that they could scent. In the next seconds he was standing Infront of the door and grabbed the door knob but it was locked. He trailed his finger on the waterproof door while con

y made her rest her head on his thigh.. "You're my Mate , Alannah and no sane creature would ever hurt their mate even if they wanted to.. we're bonded together forever. So don't be scared and let me protect you." Nicklaus coaxes her while combing her chestnut hair with his longer slender fingers.. It was the first time in her life someone was looking at her with so much affection and this awoke some Many strange feelings inside of her. Over the years she'd gotten used to how our people saw her and already gave up on the fact that someone would actually look at her with so much love and affection..

Even though Annah hasn't gotten used to the closeness between them, she didn't stop him and just let him do whatever she wants.. Nicklaus wanted to hug her and plant kisses all over her face if that was gonna ease her tensed muscle but he didn't want her to be uncomfortable.. "Can I take a shower first? I feel uncomfortable in these clothes." She asked him like she needed his opinion first and this made him smile..
