Chapter Ninety-One: Stubborn mate

Jason

Tillie was tucked against Ryan’s side as we made our way down the stairs and into the foyer. I knew she had to be exhausted despite the sleep she had gotten. Her legs trembled and I bit back a laugh. She was so stubborn.

When I had offered to carry her down the flights of stairs, she had scoffed at me before stomping off in front of Ryan and I.

It was cute and I had been unable to tear my eyes away from the swell of her shapely ass and hips as she made her way down the hallway. She stopped in front of the stairs, worrying her lower lip as she looked back at us.

Ryan smirked back at me, his blue eyes sparkling with laughter. He knew that she was rethinking her decision, too. “She’s still got her fire.”

“She’s feisty. I think it will take a lot to tame our mate.” I said, watching him turn away from me to stroll over to Tillie. He looped an arm around her waist, steadying her as they made their way down the steps.

Ryan’s smirk turned to a grin as she leaned her body against him, letting him help her.

I wanted that. I wanted her to trust me the same way she did Ryan. It was a jealous thought and I knew it, but I couldn’t help it. I wanted her to be able to trust me to take care of her. I had hoped that this morning would show her that. Or at least let her know that I was worthy of her love.

Last night, I knew that I had gone too far and if she needed me to, I would spend the rest of our lives making it up to her. I would show Tillie that I could do soft and sweet. That I wasn’t always hard and demanding. That she could trust me to take care of her needs.
