BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha's Little Demon by Cassandra M

047 – Team Adan

LUCY.

Adan and I spent the whole afternoon in the middle of the forest without my

necklace around my neck, and we just

talked about anything under the sun. To my disappointment, the voice in my head did not return as much as I had hoped.

With a heavy heart, I decided to call it a day and told him that maybe we could try again some other time. “We should go back to the packhouse. I’m hungry.”

“How about we try one last time?” Adan

asked as he slid down from the boulder

where we were seated and stood in front

of me.

“What do you mean? Aren’t we trying for a long time already?”

“I will let Beast out, and see if he can

connect with her. You know, wolves can detect each other better when they are in

their wolf form.”

A smile curled on my lips as I nodded my head. “Yes! We can do that!”

“But please don’t seduce him.”

“What? It’s not my fault your wolf likes me.” I rolled my eyes at him playfully.

“He does. I have to make a deal with him

before I will let him out.”

“Okay. But let’s try that, maybe he can push her out this time.”

Adan leaned forward and pecked my lips before brushing his lips against my cheek. “You’re mine.”

“Always…” I replied in a soft tone before

watching him walk away from me.

He slowly slipped his clothes off his body without taking his eyes off me, and I

knew he was teasing me. I had to clamp my legs together and remind myself to breathe, or I would end up drooling. I had seen this man naked too many times by

now, but every time still felt like the first time. I didn’t think I would ever get used

to this.

Once he was fully naked, Adan crouched

on the ground and gave me a wink before he leaped forward, and soon, his body shifted and his paws landed on the

ground with a loud thud before he walked

toward me.

I stood up from the big boulder and dropped onto my knees in front of Beast.

My hands cupped his jaw as I rubbed it a

bit harder, just the way he wanted. “Hey,

you handsome Beast, help me connect

with my wolf?”

With his tongue out, Beast let out a

guttural growl before he began licking my face, and I just let him. After a while, we

sat next to each other and stared at the

forest view in front of us.

“Are you bored?” I asked. Although I was

okay with just sitting next to him, and he was behaving really well, I missed the
