ASHANTI'S POV.

I'm in his arms by the time he gets to five and my heart is pounding uncontrollably in my rib cage. Someone could step out and see us. They could even take photos. The rumor would spread like wildfire. I'll be in trouble.

"Ashanti." He calls my name calmly, and quietly. I try to back away from his hold so I can look at his face, but he holds me still in his arms. Like he never wants to let me go. My body goes tense as his hold tightens. He gently squeezes me and my breath hitches in my throat when he sniffs my hair. "Why do you always smell so nice?" He asks out of nowhere and I get confused. Do I always smell nice?

I thought he was the only one who possessed that superpower.

"Do I?"

"Don't you know?" I shake my head. I can still not look at him because his hold around me is still as tight as before. If he dares to squeeze me even a bit more, my bones will break. He's so strong.

"I can't begin to tell you how much your smell affects me." He lets go of me. I look up at his face my eyes drown in his charming brown eyes. A million different emotions are swimming in them and their gentleness makes my heart swell.

What is going on?

"And why do you always choose the most boring options? A kiss in public would have been amazing."

"It would've been scandalous!" I correct him sternly and he chuckles, shaking his head. My heart skips a few beats when he gestures for me to get into the car so we can leave for his chambers. Through e ride, I can't help but think about what will happen between us when we get to his bedroom. Is he finally going to have sex with me? Or is he going to kiss me and leave me hanging at the end of the day like always?

If he dares deprive me of another orgasm, I can't promise that one of us won't wind up dead by tomorrow morning.

When we get to his chambers, we are led to the main door by the guard. The serv a ts we by p as s in the house give us shocking gazes and I'm sure it's because Alpha Reagan doesn't want to let go of my hand. Our hands are intertwined with each other's till we get to his bedroom. I let out a heavy sigh of relief the moment I closed the door behind me
