Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 272 – The silence after the kiss

Seraphine froze completely, her eyes flying wide open as Voren claimed her lips like a man who’d gone without water for days.

The kiss came in hot and deep, hungry in a way that caught her totally off guard.

Strange sparks shot through her whole body, but instead of pushing him back, her mouth started moving with his on its own.

She matched every slow pull and press until she felt him growing hard against her thigh, pressing right there through their clothes.

"Voren," she gasped, finally yanking her face away. Her cheeks burned like someone had slapped them before she rolled sideways across the mattress, the cool sheets hitting her overheated skin and making her shiver.

His body still gave off all that warmth right next to her, but her brain kept screaming how wrong this whole thing was. Only one person deserved the blame here.

’Marsha, what the hell did you just do?’ she chastised her wolf, wondering how she was going to face Voren after this. The fact that she enjoyed it was what heightened her embarrassment and this time, her naughty wolf refused to save her from herself.

’Don’t act like you didn’t enjoy every second of it. You both needed that,’ Marsha shot back, sounding way too smug.

Seraphine stayed quiet, words failing her. She lay there staring at the ceiling, heart still hammering, already dreading the next time she’d have to look Voren in the eyes.

How was she supposed to act normal around him after this? There was apparently no relationship between them except business and she was already crossing lines because of her wolf.
