Accidental Surrogate for Alpha

Chapter 155

#Chapter 155 - The Vanaran Capital

Ella

When I walk into breakfast the next morning, I have to try and hide my wince as I sit down. My bottom is sore and stings when it meets the chair, but the bite of pain also sends a pulse of heat through my body, calling up the memories of what came next.

I feel my mate’s eyes on me, and when I look up, Sinclair is watching me with a knowing smirk. He looks so wolfish in this moment that I find myself wondering how I ever thought he was anything but a ruthless predator. Is there a problem, trouble? He asks in my head.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I sniff, turning my nose up at him.

This earns only a smug chuckle in reply, and I have to fight to hide my blush. "Well you two certainly found each other." The king observes warmly. "You’d think there wasn't anyone else in the room.”

Feeling a spark of inspiration, I jolt, "Oh, your majesty, when did you get here?" The entire table laughs, and Sinclair slides his hand onto my thigh, sending zings of pure affection through our bond.

"Please call me Gabriel, Ella. There are no formalities in my household." The King replies, smiling widely. "How did you sleep last night?"

“Very well." I answer happily, and the steady weight of Sinclair's hand shifts as his fingers begin to trace circles on my inner thigh.

As we continue making small talk he slides his hands even higher, slipping right up my skirt between my legs. No one would ever know from looking at him that he's doing anything under the table, but he can barely smother his hungry growl when he realizes I'm not wearing panties. Going commando, you bad girl?

I didn’t intend to, but when I tried putting on my panties the fabric just irritated my... skin. It’s a struggle even to get the words out. I can feel my skin heating with excitement and embarrassment, shocked by my own daring. I can't believe he's touching me this way with so many people around us, when we could be discovered at any moment.
