“You're so humble. Here's my number. Call me anytime.” She passes me a piece of paper and I take it.

“You must be excited to see your mate again,” I say.

“Ugh, he is going to devour me once I get there,” she puffs.

“I don't want to hear that,” Axe chimes in coming back into the room.

“I told you to go,” Carson says pointedly.

“Shut up. Drive safely back to your mate. Let me know when you get there.” Axe pulls her into his arms.

“Bye, Axel, be good to her,” she whispers, but I hear. “Bye, Elora.”

When she walks out and Axe closes the door behind her, he turns to me.

“So, it's just us.” Axe stares at me, looking unsure. “What do you want to do?”

“We could watch a movie.”

“I was thinking of something I could do to make you feel... better.” Axe looks down at my body then looks back up at me.

“H-How?” I mumble.

Axe drops to his knees in front of me, lifts my shirt and pulls my underwear down my legs. He smiles up at me before he captures my bud between his lips. His soft tongue touches me lightly. I hold onto his hair while he lifts my leg and pushes his lips more into my slit. The sensation travels from where his mouth starts to the tips of my toes.

“Axe,” I pant.

My legs tremble so Axe picks me up, places me on the couch then sits beside me. Him going down on me will always be my favourite form of affection.

“Does your body feel better?” He tries to hide his grin.

“Maybe you can do that to me before we have sex next time,” I say.

“I should have done that the first time. It's just I'm not used to lots of foreplay and gentleness. My mate liked it wild in the bedroom,” Axe reveals, surprising me that he's mentioning her.

“Oh.”

“Shit, I shouldn't have said that.” His eyes are wide.

“No, it’s okay. We can talk about her. Was she your first?”

“No. I was sixteen and it was with an older girl. She was human.”

“How many girls have you been with?” I ask curiously.

“Seven, including you.”

“Were your experiences the same with all of them?”

“Well, with all the girls before my mate, they were the same. With her, feelings were involved so of course it meant more and was a different feeling than with the other girls. With you, that's another experience altogether and I'll never forget it. No girl has asked me to stop before,” Axe explains.

“Were you gentle with any of them?” I question, and he bites his lip.

“I guess I eased up a little when I took my mate's virginity but over time, she wanted more roughness so that's what I got used to.” Axe looks a little awkward speaking of her. “Don't worry, I'll soften up for you.” Axe smiles with assurance, nudging my nose with his.

“An alpha turning soft?” I can't prevent my chuckle in disbelief.

“I will for you.”
