“We need to stop tentill you can say ‘don’t stop!” His finger traces my lips, my eyelids, my nose
“Let’s talk, okay?” Standing, he gets up from his spot, loodes in my cupboards, and pills out a glass. He pours himself some red. He picks up my wineglass from the floor and hands it to me as sit upright once again

“I couldn’t believe when I som you that first dng. I thought you were going to be a female who wasn’t very pleasing to the eyes, that somehow was defective. How could a mate be rejected? It must be because they are not worthy. The way the pack talloed about you, I was worried you really shouldn’t be a midwife.” His words make my stomach clench with what everyone must think of me.

She just asked me to give you a chance, if I felt that you were usate in any way, she would pull von from your cities, but that you just needed a chance to prove yourself.” He’s still looking into the hypnotizing flames. He finishes his glass before I take a second sip. He places his glass close to the fireplace.
“When I came into the clinic that day, I knew instantly that everything I heard about you was lies. How can someone blessed with the moon’s ejes be anything but beautiful inside and out? So I watched you with those females, and I began to understand how truly special and overlooked you are. Sipping the red wine look at its color. It could pass for shades when falling in love or shades of tege
“I’m still having a hard time trying to understand what happened to you. How could they all not see you? This is some of the most hurtful, nicest truths

I was ready for him. I know he’d come. I could smell his scent all over your house when I left.” Dallas gets
uming me so I’m facing the fire. He’s behind me. His hands start to massage my shoulders over my shirt. It’s relaxing the tension that I feel.
“He doesn’t want you, Rya, but he doesn’t want any other male to have you, either.” This corages me. He’s nined my past, and now he’s tampering with my lubiace
When he said that, I don’t know what happened.. 1 just attacked him. I wanted him to hurt the way you’re hurting. So I went for his throat. He was shocked.” Dallas ruts my lower back as he speaks, and it’s calming me.
“You could get in a lot of trouble for that.” My warning is from first–hand experience.
“What’s he going to do, go tell his daddy that I hit him? He would look weak to his pack, that he couldn’t settle his battles himself. The key is to have no witnesses. He came to my house alone at night looking to start a fight. It’s not settled between us, but it will be soon I can feel the smile on his face

This feels much better than a pillum.
