A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret by Alphabetical B

Chapter 152

The moment Harriette stood on her toes, I should’ve known what she was up to but I didn’t expect it. Nothing prepared me for the moment when she slammed her lips against mine. My eyes went wide as it took my brain a few seconds to recognize what was happening.

I froze. The world around me froze as well. I couldn’t even blink. She threw her arms around my neck and deepened the kiss. It took me a little over five seconds to recover. I closed my eyes and kissed her back.

To hell with all my convictions and self–absorbed rules. I wanted that moment like it was dear life and I would take it mine.

I placed my hand on the small of her back and pulled her body closer to me. I took the lead from her and kissed her better.

The kiss was fast and quick but the feel of her skin against mine almost made me lose my senses.

She moaned and that undid something in my head. I grabbed her closer to my body, placed my hand beneath her butt, and lifted her in my arm.

She quickly tangled her leg around my waist. I moved us from the door to the table at the corner of the room. I pushed everything to the back including files and maybe my laptop.

Fuck! I wasn’t thinking straight. How was I supposed to think straight when my mate was right there in my arms? The same person I never wanted to have anything to do with.

She was like a forbidden fruit but that didn’t stop me.

I placed her on the table. I removed my mouth from hers to stare into her eyes. Something was different about her at that moment but I couldn’t point it out. I held her chin and kissed her again. She kissed me back just as much as I wanted her to.

No, scratch that, as much as I needed her to. It was as though that moment was ours and only the two of us existed in the world.

I moved my lips to her cheeks and trailed down till I got to her neck. She held onto my arms and I could feel her fingers digging into my flesh.

“Rowan,” she moaned. That motivated me to suck, bite, and lick that part of her neck that I would love to mark.
