Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0199

Our bodies had collapsed in a moment of bliss, as we began to kiss. My whole body shivering in pleasure... sheer lust and desire for the effect Bailey had had on me. Her touch... her body... had sent me to places I think I had forgotten existed... and suddenly Zion was pushing forward, the need to mark her was overwhelming, from him and, shockingly, from me, and it was crushingly powerful yet painful. A shock to my system...

I knew my feelings for Bailey had grown, and the feelings of my wolf had grown too, but had I ever considered her for my chosen mate? Not yet I hadn't... hell, I was still accepting the fact I was moving on from Isla, so the fact my body had reacted so powerfully in that moment had blown my mind... I had wanted to mark her. Of that there was no doubt. Zion had wanted to mark her.

Bailey and I were growing closer. I had begun to accept the fact, especially in the last few days, with how much I had been missing her when she was not with me, that I was likely falling for her. And, I had decided, I was not going to fight it. sat many times, whilst I was alone, thinking everything through. Trying to process my feelings... process what was happening... I liked things to be in order within my life... to make sense. But this one didn't.

But, I had come to the conclusion, that perhaps Bailey had come into my life for a reason. Who knew... but she had most certainly come into my life at a time when I needed her. She had lit up my life in a way I didn't think was possible anymore, and it had made me feel alive again. She made me feel good in ways I had forgotten... and I liked it!

But, now with her laid there in my arms, and me having to push Zion back, I knew I had to apologize. She had seen Zion lingering, I am sure of that. "Bailey..." I murmured, the uncertainty so obvious in my voice, and I could see the confusion on Bailey's face as she looked at me. Can I blame her? We have gone from being intimate, to me sounding like I am having a nervous breakdown... Nothing like wrecking the mood! I just hope I can turn things around, and bring that mood back, because I plan to make the most of our day in bed... hear her calling my name... worship her body some

the fact we were both laid next to one another naked made this whole situation quite awkward. Maybe I hadn't chosen the best time to explain myself... I was so not good at this. I say I am out of practice. I don't even know I
