I snapped. “Yes, think about being Wolfless for a bit, and with no prior training from your pack.”

The snort disappeared from his face. “My human side is just as strong” he grumbled, reaching for a bottle of water “Focus on your training.”

I made an impatient noise and tried to reach for the bottle water but he tried to push them away from my reach.

While I was jumping around, my tee rode up a little, so when Eros picked me up, his fingers brushed my bare skin..

I had been completely focused on the bottle so the unexpected touch startled me, making me gasp in surprise.

Hearing me gasp, he looked up at me, and my eyes locked with his. For a second, he just stood there, holding me up in his arms while staring me in the eye.

“N–nothing.” I answered while trying to look away.

That casual smirk returned a second later, and he asked, “So, you give up?”
