But before I can react, he stands up and stretches, lifting his arms over his head. A flash of chiseled stomach peeks out from underneath his sweatshirt.
I do my best to remain still. I don’t even breathe, refusing to enjoy his earthy scent.
The smile never leaves his face ask he walks over to me then kneels to my eye level.
My heart stops.
We’ve never been this close before. I see the flecks of gold in his warm eyes as he takes my hand, bringing it to his lips slowly.
It shouldn’t be hot. It’s a chaste kiss, something gentle and sweet against the top of my hand, but it makes my breath hitch all the same.
“I’m so glad you’re here,” he murmurs, his thumb caressing my palm. “We won’t let anything happen to you, baby, okay?”
Baby.
My head swims.
There’s an earnestness behind his eyes, along with smoldering desire.
There’s an attraction between us, and if he just leaned a little closer and cupped my face in his hands…
But then he stands and presses a kiss to my head, releasing my hand. It falls awkwardly at my side, and I slowly let out a breath.
“Good night, Harper,” he says, and the spell is broken as he leaves my room, followed by Wilson. The mustached cat turns back to me, giving me a smallmeowbefore trotting along at Beau’s side.
I sit on the bed, stunned.

The achein my body doesn’t go away.
Grey’s angry scent is still in the air, the rich notes of dark chocolate and bourbon mixing with Beau’s earthiness.
The damp spot in my underwear has grown.
I keep the lamp on and the curtain open, my gaze falling to the lit stone path of the garden.
I should question why it’s only been a day, but I’m gritting my teeth, doing my best to fight the unexplained arousal. And why it’s growing by the minute, my nipples rock hard underneath my bra.
But fuck it.
I take the damn thing off, tossing it to the floor, clad only in my shirt and leggings.
But as I expose my nipples to the cool air, my cunt throbs, my clit begging for attention.
What thehellis happening?
As I crawl into bed, flipping off the light, I tell myself I can ignore it.
Now is not the time to be fantasizing about unattainable Alphas.
I need to plan what to do after I stay here.
But images flash through my mind, and I squeeze my thighs together under the blankets, desperate to relieve the ache.
Beau’s face fills my thoughts, and I bite my lip to suppress a groan.
He would go down on me.
