Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0154

Zion had pushed forward enough to take control of my body, to make me stumble forward toward Bailey, with his words fresh in my mind. Yes, giving her a kiss would likely shut her up, but it would likely result in me getting a black eye too! She looked angry.

"Asher!" Bailey said, as I stopped myself knocking into her.

I smiled down at her. Shit... it is a long time since I have tried being flirty with a woman. Do I really want to be flirty with her? I don't even think I could... I'm not sure that I know how anymore.

"What are you doing?" she snapped.

I looked down to her again, my heart pounding within my chest. Hell, she could likely hear that... most of the pack could likely hear that... her beautiful brown eyes were glaring at me. I'd like to say gazing, but right now, it was definitely more an angry glare than an affectionate gaze. I gently raised my hand to softly run it along the skin of her cheek, and I heard her gasp the moment my fingers touched her face.

Bailey's eyes darted back and forth over my face, like she was trying to read what I was doing, the angry glare now replaced with a look of uncertainty and confusion. I hated that I made her feel that way. I could see the rise and fall of her chest had increased, meaning I was likely making her panic. "Asher..." she whispered.

Her eyes were focused upon mine, her lashes fluttering nervously, as I allowed my lips to tentatively find hers, and as did, I felt my guards come crashing down.
