I would love to show her.
She maintains eye contact, exhaling slowly as my words have their desired effect.
And that scent…
“Do you know how good you smell?” I ask her quietly, unable to hold my tongue any longer.
But before she can answer, Charlotte enters with trays of food, and the moment we shared dissipates.

HARPER
After my encounter with James,I took a shower, then napped. Thankfully, the headache subsided during the time.
Of course, I also had to change my clothes now that the others were drenched in my fluids.
I’m quickly running out of clean ones, and I need to remember to ask Charlotte if they have laundry services.
I meant to when I entered the living room, butGreytook up all my awareness.
Grey, and his double meanings, his mystery, and his deep, rich scent.
Grey, the professor who looks drop-dead gorgeous as he sits in the plush leather chair, nursing his drink as his eyes blaze into mine.
Do you know how good you smell?
His question stuns me, and as Charlotte serves bowls of rich chowder and a mix of breads and cheeses, I ruminate on what he’s admitted to me.
He wants to be around me.
He enjoys giving orders.
He can smell me.
How is that possible? Are his senses that heightened that he can literally sense a Beta’s arousal?
But he thanks Charlotte and starts to eat as if nothing happened.
So, I do the same.
The corn chowder is creamy and savory, with chunks of potatoes and bacon. We eat in silence. Once my bowl is empty, Grey smiles at me.
He actuallysmiles.
My appetite has been out of control over the past few days. One minute I’m fine, the next minute I’m ravenous.
I wonder if it’s a side effect of my lack of medication.
As if on cue, another headache hits, and I wince.
Grey notices.
“Are you alright?” His playful mood is gone, and concern is etched into his strong features.
I hiss, placing my hand to my head. “Yeah. Just a headache. It happened this morning, too.”
He sets his bowl down on the table with aclang.“How long have you been feeling like this?” he demands.
