“You can bring them in here.”
Oh-kay. She was…wet and naked in there, and wanted him in the same room? His cat was going to burst right out of his skin. Mentally leashing his cat, he opened the door and walked in. The room was steamy, the large mirror over the sink fogged over. Alanah was in the clawfoot tub with the shower curtain open, a rolled towel behind her neck and her long, wet hair piled on her head.
“That was so sweet of her,” she said, smiling at him. “Did you ask her for them?”
“Yeah.” His voice squeaked and he cleared it. He sounded like a teenager going through puberty at the first sight of a beautiful female. “We can go shopping tomorrow if you’d like.”
“Sure,” she said. “I’ll just be a few more minutes.”
“Take as long as you like.”
“You could join me.” She practically purred the words, and his body tightened further.
He stared at her, unable to see anything through the bubbles that covered the water, even though he was trying hard to. Meeting her gaze, he saw heat and desire, and he wanted very much to join her. But the part of him that was an honorable male and wanted to take good care of his mate, in and out of the bedroom, put the brakes on things.
“I’d love to, Alanah, but you need your rest. We’ve barely begun to get to know each other, and while we’re truemates and I’d love nothing better than to find out how many times I can make you scream my name, I think it’s okay for us to take things slow.”
She stared at him steadily for a long moment, and he wasn’t sure he was even breathing at that point. And then she nodded, a small smile curling the corner of her lips.
“You’re a good male.”
“I promise I’ll always take care of you.”
“I believe you.”
He gave her a nod and left the bathroom, before the other part of him—the snarling tiger that wanted to lick her all over—snapped his control in half. For his sanity, he closed the bathroom door and retreated to the front room, settling on the couch and closing his eyes.
Holy hell she was gorgeous, and he wanted her with every fiber of his being.
But he was a good male and he was going to put her needs first. And what she needed now was a good rest. Then they could see what tomorrow brought.
He shushed his irritated cat and closed his eyes, willing his body to relax.
It was going to be a long night.
Chapter Seven
Alanah woke with a start, her body humming. Her hand was inside her panties, her fingers grazing her soaked folds. The soft cami her sister had lent her scratched irritably against her tight nipples, and her back ached as her wings pressed against her skin to erupt.
Hades was she close to coming? Had she really been fingering herself while she was dreaming?
Pulling her soaked fingers from the apex of her thighs, she rolled to her back with a soft groan. She clutched the blankets as a wave of arousal wove its way through her, barely stifling the moan that threatened to break free.
She’d never experienced anything close to the arousal that hummed in her veins. She’d thought males were handsome but hadn’t had sex with many, preferring quality over quantity when it came to lovers. But this? It wasn’t like anything she’d been through before. She thought she could probably climax without even touching herself again, she was that close.
But she didn’t want to. Not without Ronan, her sexy truemate.
A little ah escaped her parted lips and she shivered, but not because she was cold.
A soft purr filled the room. She tilted her head and saw a large shadow looming in the doorway.
Ronan.
She rose onto her elbows and stared at him. Because it was dark in the room with the curtains closed, she couldn’t really make out his features but she didn’t need to see well to know he was gazing at her intently, his tiger rolling under his skin the way her wings were pressing at her to come free.
“I’m pretty sure I was dreaming about you.”
“Oh?” he drawled.
