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.

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!
