Anervous terting bubbles in my stomach at the thought of actually seeing him again Sitting once again in my car, I give myself a stem talking to. My porterit will be there, in sisters will be ther: Twill tembarrass the people I love again. It was so much easier out of sight, out of mind
pening the vac doo, 1 st up closing it again. Everytime I open it, all I can smell is him. It’s a drowning feeling, and I am unable to cately my breath. My
m`n I just feel mamb to him? Why does he affect me so much? How do not affect him? How can he fight this so easily?1 pound on the ing wheel. I feel as it someone is pushing on my chest. The pressure gets heavier and heavier until I really start to feel lightheaded.
With my head down. I just sit there, unable to really find the motivation to move, Knuckles tapping on the window draw my eyes up. Dallas is looking at INE, PU eyes mort, and he doesn’t look away. Opening the door for me to get mit, he still holds my pazn
“I just need a minte, Illis.” I try to close the door again, and he steps me from doing that
“Ter been watching you for the last hour in your car, talking to yourself. I think you were even answering back.” He opens the door wider for me to get
“I’m sorry, this is so silly,” I still can’t get out of the car.
I don’t think it is. I think it’s really sad for you. I think that you are the strongest person I know.” His hand reaches for mine, the one that is still deaching the starting whirl.
“I don’t teel strong,” I whisper, barely audible, even to my ears.
“You are.” He lets the sit a monit more before he pulls me out.
#All right, I’m ready. I have some staff for the pack in the trunk. Can you help me carry
y it in?” I step away from him.
Opening the trunk of the car, I have boxes of veggies from the garden. All fresh with the smell of pesticides, sun ripened so healthy
Carrying the boxes of produce in front of me, I try to have the cardboard act as a shield from his stare. It doesn’t work, I feel it instantly as soon as
as Dallas
Iround the comer of the house into the backyard. I don’t even have to look to see where he’s at. My body just knows, My soul is trying to touch his
it’s leaning out a window with its arms out, fingertips stretched completely straight, trying to get closer to him
I turn my body away from his, and my bare arm brushes against the doctor’s skin. We both look down at the spot where our flesh touched, aware of the contact we just made
Sorry about that,” I say, taking a step away from him.
“No, that’s okay. Let’s put these down and maybe get us both a drink?” His voice is gentle, yet at the same time he gives me direction on what to do
DEXT
Good idea.” My back burns with his e
eyes against my
I put them on a table with a sign that says please take. The wolves should love this, especially the ones who don’t have a garden. Nothing like fresh
The wind is the hem of my skirt slightly, exposing my bare thighs, I can see Dallas out of the comer of my eyes, looking at me. He doesn’t linger for too lore
“brought some beer. Would you like one?” He’s going to a cooler, opening it up
“Are you sure? If you have enough, I would like one.”
“I have more than enough for you.” He hands the open bottle to me, and I take the first drink. The liquid is cold against my throat,
“Thanks” With my back to my mate, I take in the gathering The whole pack is out enjoying themselves, laughing and carrying on, the adults playing bearibing tons, lawn darts. There is a gene of volleyball to the side in a pit of sand that replaced grass, it looks very official
“Are you hungry? Do you want something to car?” Now, this is extremely embarrassing
“I can’t eat seatul everyone else does. I can’t even sit with the pack.” I look at a solitary table slightly away from the main group…….my place.
“What are you talking «bout?” That’s the loudest Thave ever heard his voice goi
n: I’m still last.“
“When I was puristand,I had to at last, and I couldn’t eat with the pack anymore.
“Come with me, now.” He walks us toward the Alpha and Lona while 1 start to hackpedal, He’s muttering something under his breath that Tean’t make
Thya, Low are you?” Di à Catherine and the Alpha call out. My head instantly goes down, my breath coming out a little harsher
thank you for asking, “ I prst give them the generic line everyone pets.
“How’s she doing at the chinic? the Alpha asks De Valentine
“She’s firing in really well with the team. She’s an extremely wonderful asset to the pack, and we are all very lucky to have someone like her.” The gentle
of fingertips touch my lower back, this is the first time I have ever been touched there by a male. I cringe slightly. He withdraws his hand,
at his side. Warm molten lava slowly slides down from the tip of my head, caressing my shoulders, heat burus so pleasurably into my hips: that I have to stifle a moan: My ass heats up, the exposed skin of my thighs tingling with his stare. I have to catch myself; my head wants to rollback, and my legs became liquid jelly
“Good, glad to hear that.“I don’t even look at the Alpha when he’s talking, preferring to just keep silent. It’s just better not to talk. I wonder if my cheeks
are thashed
