Ella

The sight of Alexander’s naked body in the moonlight made me freeze.

His muscled frame gleamed with sweat and blood, highlighting every ridge and plane of his body. Broad shoulders. Powerful chest. Taut stomach. And lower… Goddess.

He was huge even when he wasn’t aroused. The patch of red hair between his legs did little to conceal anything.

The heat began instantly, spreading outward until my skin felt feverish from head to toe. I had never seen a naked man in person before, and the fact that it was Alexander, my mate, my husband, made it all the more intense.

I swallowed hard and tried to look away, but my eyes kept dragging back to him.

“Ella,” Alexander growled, moving forward.

I finally managed to tear my gaze away, my face burning. “S–sorry,” I stammered. “I didn’t mean to—”

“I can smell you,” he cut me off.

My head snapped back up. “What?”

Alexander’s nostrils flared, green eyes darkening. “I can smell your arousal.”

Mortification washed over me. Wolves could smell desire, but he shouldn’t be able to scent mine. Not without my wolf. Unless…?

“Our contract doesn’t include sex or love,” Alexander said coldly. “Don’t forget that.”

His words felt like a bucket of cold water being dumped over my head. The heat in my belly instantly cooled, replaced by shame and embarrassment. I folded my arms across my chest, wishing I could disappear.

“I’m well aware of that,” I snapped. “I don’t want to have sex with you.”

“Your scent says otherwise.”
