One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 179 Audrey

I twirled in front of the full-length mirror, admiring the outht Edwin had made for me over the past couple of days. The skirt swished around my ankles, the fabric soft and flowing. It was a vast improvement over our drunken attempt on

Christmas Eve..

Edwin it's perfect," I breathed, ning my hands over the intricate pleats

The tartan pattern was exactly what I had envisioned-deep greens and reds with subtle gold threading, tailored to my exact size. The skirt wrapped around my waist, held secure by two rich leather buckles. And to make it even better, there were pockets.

"I can't believe you made this." I turned to him, beaming. "It's even better than I imagined."

Edwin stood nearby, looking even more handsome than usual with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, exposing his forearms, and his hair slightly mussed from working. A pleased smile played on his lips, his eyes warm in the light of the sun streaming in through the large window as they followed my movements.

"I'm glad you like it," he said. "I wanted to make sure you had something special for the

party."

It wasn't just the skirt that he had made; he had created an entire ensemble. A matching vest hugged my curves perfectly. dark buttons securing it all together. Underneath was a sweet long-sleeved blouse, its scalloped collar peeking out just so. It was exactly the sort of thing I adored wearing, and I hadn't even had to ask. Edwin just knew what Hoved.

"Your sewing skills are amazing." I said as I ran my fingers along the perfectly even stitches of the vest. "I'm so glad to see you doing this again. I'll cherish this outfit forever."

Edwin's smile widened, and he closed the distance between us, wrapping his arms around me. "With a model like you, would happily sew clothes for you for the rest of my life. You make everything look beautiful."

I felt my cheeks heat up at his words, a warmth spreading through my chest. But then I noticed his expression falter slightly, a shadow passing over his face.

"But Audrey," he said, his tone more serious now. He leaned back a bit to look at me, his hands coming to rest on my arms. "Are you sure you want to go to the party tonight? You can make an excuse if you want. I can go alone if you're not comfortable."

For the thousandth time over the past days, I shook my head firmly and reached up to cup his face. "How many times do I have to tell you that I want to be by your side?" I chided gently. "You're my mate, Edwin. We face things together, remember? Besides, I want to show off this beautiful outfit you made the."

he pulled me close once more to press a soft kiss against my lips. "What did I do to deserve you?" he murmured
