“Fuck you, it’s not that funny.”
“A woman has tamed Elijah Sharpe.”
Shit, it’s true.
Chapter Thirteen
Elijah
“You’re delusional.” He continues to laugh.
I ignore the fact that months ago he had nothing to laugh about and continue to scowl at him. “This is not funny.”
“You have only known her for two days,” he points out.
“I haven’t hugged you since I’ve met her.”
“That’s what you are basing this off of?”
“Well, it’s an important fact.”
“This is only the third time I've seen you since you met her. One of those times, you had her over your shoulder.”
“I will hug you right now,” I threaten, starting to stand.
“Let’s not get crazy.” He grins, holding his palm low.
“Fuck off.” I sit but lean forward, my elbows on my knees. “What if she doesn’t like what she learns?” I ask softly, running my hands through my hair.
“I know exactly how you feel.” I turn my head to him surprised. “When I met Penny, I felt the same way. I’m not exactly the most sociable guy.”
My lips twist. “No shit?”
“I had doubts and fears. The thing you have to remember is the universe picked this one person to match you. To walk with you for the rest of your days. You were gifted with a mate who will love you forever.”
“Maybe the universe got it wrong?”
“That is not possible. She will accept you,” he says firmly.
“I haven’t told her about my life. She doesn’t know all the shit I’ve done. All the mistakes I have made.” I take a deep breath. “The people I have hurt.” Even though they did things to deserved it.
“It’s about time you’ve told someone.”
“I don’t know.”
“You have to. It will make it so much sweeter when she accepts the bond and completes it,” he urges.
“I suppose you’re right,” I concede.
“I know I am,” he smirks.
“Elijah,” Saylor says softly from behind me.
I was so involved in my head I didn’t hear her get up. I look over my shoulder and then back at a grinning Laken.
“Asshole.” He heard her, but the dick couldn’t give me a warning.
“I’ll leaving you two to talk,” Laken says, winking. “Have a good night, Saylor.”
