In the gentle embrace of slumber I languidly shifted, drawing comfort from the delightful warmth enveloping me. It was an embrace so reassuring that I y

Our faces were in such close proximity that the slightest movement on my part threatened an inadvertent meeting of our lips.

Stationary and contemplative, I directed my gaze– upward, registering the unfamiliarity of my surroundings. I was in Reuben’s bed. How had circumstances conspired to place me in this condition with him

As I tried to piece together the events of the previous night, my mind felt like a foggy puzzle that was missing crucial pieces. However, when my gaze loc hued lips.

I found myself compelled to graze my fingertips over my own lower lip, still tender from the lingering imprint of his kiss.

He had kissed me.

Not once, but twice throughout the night. Then to make matters worse I could not resist it even though I did not kiss back. After six long years, I was onc

The memory of our naked bodies tucked beneath this blanket brought back the vivid recollection of Reuben’s arousal from the previous night, his desire to be intimate with me. Even in the throes of undeniable desire

I couldn’t resist the impulse to lift my hand and brush a fingertip over Reuben’s eyelashes. The contrast between the Reuben I knew from six years ago a

“He accepted his punishment,” Ceri’s voice reverberated within the recesses of my mind, her words resonating with my thoughts.

My heart raced hearing her words. Reuben was never one to concede fallibility or entertain the notion of making mistakes, let alone accept a punishmen

The boundaries between being a married couple and lovers had blurred for Reuben and I long ago, especially after we learned we were mates. Our nak

Throughout our time together, there had rarely been a day when we refrained from physical proximity. Our hands seemed to have a mind of their own, se despite the familiarity and history between us, he respected my refusal and kept his hands to himself. It was a departure from our usual closeness, a testament t my boundaries at that moment.

My fingers, seemingly guided by some subconscious impulse, grazed his long beautiful lashes. Suddenly, his eyes shot open, catching me off guard. Sta

“Where did you learn this bad habit of touching me in sleep, Willow?” His voice, slow and seductive, penetrated the air as his gaze bore into mine.

“I… I was just…” I bit my lip, unable to think of an excuse. I did not know why I touched. him either.

A small smile appeared on Reuben’s lips as he rubbed his nose against mine softly, “Do you want me to die of morning hardness?” he whispered.

His mention of “morning hardness” brought a sudden awareness to the firm presence pressing that had been against my belly since the beginning. My fa

Wait a minute! Why was I apologizing and feeling guilty for his hardness? Ceri suddenly shot me a meaningful look at this thought. As I pondered this, I c

Unexpectedly, a soft moan slipped passed my lips, eliciting a reflexive flinch, and a rush of embarrassment. I glanced at him with wide eyes, cursing myself for sounding so needy and explicit. Shit, I hadn’t meant to reveal that side of myself. His smile in response to my reaction only deepened the redn

This man… he was intentionally turning me on!

“I… I should go,” I stammered, attempting to push him away, feeling a surge of panic that he might notice my arousal.

“I’m really fine now, I should go,” I insisted, squirming in his grasp, urgency pushing me to escape the room before things escalated.

“Shh… His sudden movement caught me off guard as he gently pressed me back onto the bed, his body hovering over mine, maintaining the closeness I can decide, Willow,” he murmured, tucking my hair behind my ear. The warmth of his touch a shiver down my spine, his gaze locked onto mine, observ

Then who gets to decide?” I asked, averting my gaze from his, feeling the intensity of his presence combine with the awareness of every curve and contour that our close proximity allowed him to feel.

A knock on the door broke the charged atmosphere, as Mia’s voice filled the room, “Alpha, it’s Mia. You called for me?”

Startled, I became acutely aware of our nakedness, feeling like I had been caught in the act while Reuben remained unfazed. “Why did you call her?” I q

“Don’t worry, the doors are locked,” he chuckled, tossing one of his clean white shirts at my head. I looked at his shirt for a second then realized it was the shirt that I had gifted him for graduation. He… he still had it?

“Wear it for now,” he playfully ruffled my hair, reminiscent of the way he used to treat me when we first met eleven years ago. My hands paused before I

“Stop it…” I began, pushing his hand away and gazed up at him with a serious expression. “I haven’t failed to notice how handsy you’ve been all morning

“Can not what?” he interrupted, leaning down and silencing me with a sudden, passionate kiss. I gasped in surprise, my eyes widening as he deepened

“Don’t threaten to snatch something away that is already mine, Willow,” he whispered, his thumb possessively rubbing my lower lip. His eyes burned with caught in my throat, uncertain of his cryptic words. “Put the shirt on, opening the door,” he stated, withdrawing his hand and heading towards the door.

I sat there buttoning the shirt still processing the intensity of the moment and meaning behind his words as he opened the door for Mia.

“Check her,” Reuben ordered Mia, prompting her to approach me. However, my attention was drawn to the wide– open door, through which Ella had passed with another pack member. Her eyes locked on the scene, me in Reuben’s shirt with messy bedding tucked a

“I’m fine.” I replied with a smile, glancing back at the now–empty doorway where Ella had vanished.

“Hmm… I doubt it. Mia murmured while checking my eyes. “Are you feeling weak?”

“Yes, a little,” I shyly admitted. Reuben, who had been standing by the wardrobe, immediately glanced in my direction.

“Why is she weak?” Reuben frowned, walking back to the bed.

“She seems to be skipping meals, Alpha” Reuben’s eyes immediately snapped back to me which I intentionally ignored. He used to become brutishly ove matter.

“Let’s keep it brief. What needs to be done now?” Reuben cut in, redirecting his focus to Mia. I couldn’t help but glare at him.

Mia stood up from the bed, answering him. “It’s not a serious situation, Alpha. She simply needs to eat properly and rest for a day or two without stressing herself with work or anything else. It would be best for her to stay in bed as much as possible…” “That’s impossible!” I interjected, resisting the idea of being confined to a bedroom. “It is possible, and I will make

He approached me and explained, “It means you’re not leaving this room until you have regained your strength.”

I stared at him in disbelief. “What are you-”

“Nonsense!” I snapped, my cheeks burning.

“If not, then obey,” he chuckled.

“There’s no way I can rest. I can pause my work, but I have to take care of Wyatt and Lori,” I murmured.
