Chapter Eighty-Eight: I’m kidding… Mostly

Tillie came into the dining hall holding two plates. She sat down a plate in front of me that was loaded with two burgers and homemade french fries. It smelled amazing, I shifted in my seat, looking up at her. Her damp hair hung down her back and the soft scent of her shampoo and body wash mixed with her own unique scent.

It mixed with our scents in her and it comforted my beast in a way that I hadn’t expected it to. It filled me with a happiness that I could see practically mirrored on my mate’s lovely face. The soft light of the lamps that Travis was turning on in the room to chase away the darkness of the early evening seemed to make her glow.

“What was that for?”

“Just wanted a kiss from my baby girl is all.” I said, watching her lips tilt into a smile before she bit her lower lip.

“Daddy.”
