Hey readers,

Well two chapters in one day aren’t you lucky. Anyway the reason I hadn’t updated is since my internet connection had gone down so I have a number of already written chapters for you guys, as soon as I proof read them then they will be up instantly.

Thanks for all the comments and votes, even though this chapter is up quickly I hope you comment on the previous as well. Sorry for any errors.

Lots of love

Chapter 18

Adrian’s Pov

It wasn’t long until I heard the water cut off, my sensitive hearing picking up on the slightly squeaky sound that was made by the shower door opening. I couldn’t help but think about how she was standing right now, most likely as naked as the day she was born or in nothing but a short fluffy towel. I couldn’t help but groan at my thoughts, knowing I needed to tamper down on my lust as not to scare her away if she thought I was pressuring her into anything. 

The sound of clothes and fabric being moved and put on was next to catch my attention, my breath catching in my throat as I tried desperately to shake away the image of my naked mate from my mind. It didn’t help that I had seen her completely bare before, even though she was nothing but skin and bones I could tell that once she got some meat on her bones I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off her. I could barely hold back now.

After a few more minutes I heard the door open, the fact she hadn’t locked it not missing my attention and I grinned when I realised that she trusted me enough not to barge in and take advantage of her. I growled at the thought, but loved how slowly but surely she was becoming more comfortable around me.

“Adrian?” her soft voice caught my attention, my head snapping in her direction as she peaked her head around the door.

“Yea?” I smiled, seeing her eyes flicker with an emotions which flashed too quickly for me to fully grasp onto what it meant.

“Could I borrow your brush, please?” she asked softly, clearly expecting me to refuse but having the nerve to ask anyway. I quickly answered her, not wanting her to think anything other than what’s mine was hers.

“Of course sweetheart, brush away” I smiled, seeing her briefly do the same before the door shut with a gentle click. I couldn’t help but fall backwards on the bed, landing on my back as I breathed in her scent as it surrounded my sheets. It made my wolf purr in delightful pleasure.

A few minutes later the tell-tale sign of the door clicking caught my attention, rising onto my elbows as stared at the door as it opened.

My breath caught in my throat as I took in my freshly groomed mate as she stood by the door, playing with the sleeve of my shirt as she stared at her bare feet as she clearly felt my eyes on her. I couldn’t stop though, my eyes raking over her slightly healthier looking skin as it had a slight pink tint to it due to the heat of the water, her hair neatly brushed as she had to pulled over one shoulder as it seemed to be a lot longer than I expected. Not that I had anything against it, in all honesty she looked…

“Beautiful” I found myself breathing, seeing her flush deeply as she shifted on her feet. Sensing that she was uncomfortable I pulled myself into a sitting position, deciding to ask her a question that would hopefully get her to relax.

“Do you want to bake a cake?” I asked before wincing at how cheesy it sounded, totally random but trust me when I say that it sounded a lot better in my head then it did when I spoke it out loud. My fear of seeming stupid though was a waste of effort, what with considering the way my adorable mate nodded eagerly as she slowly approached me while being dwarfed in my clothes. She looked tiny; it only fuelled my urges to protect her and keep her safe.
