Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 333: To seduce me.

The guilty little smile forming on Voren’s face answered her before he even opened his mouth. Seraphine folded her arms. "You did."

Voren lifted both hands in a mock surrender. "I could’ve bought new things," he said, putting extra emphasis on the word could’ve, which made her smile.

"But?" He stepped closer, his voice softening. "I know people get attached to their stuff, especially when those things hold real memories."

Seraphine’s expression melted instantly, as Voren shrugged. "I couldn’t just replace everything. That wouldn’t have felt right."

The more she looked at him, the more her heart melted. It was always the little things with him, the small details most people never even thought about, and Voren noticed them every single time.

A warm smile spread across her face before she could stop it. Honestly, every moment she spent with him just made her fall a little harder, and it was becoming a serious problem. Not that she was looking for a solution.

"You’re incredibly thoughtful," she said, the compliment slipping out naturally. Voren looked pleased with himself, as he should. Then Seraphine remembered something else. "Wait." She pointed toward the hallway. "What was all that about Jasmine?"

A chuckle escaped him right away, like the memory was still hilarious. Seraphine narrowed her eyes. "Voren."

"Alright, alright," he surrendered dramatically. "My mother gave Jasmine a bunch of skimpy clothes." Seraphine blinked. Then blinked again. "A bunch of what?"

Voren’s grin widened by her reaction. "Very skimpy clothes. And lingerie."

For several seconds, Seraphine just stood there trying to process it. Eventually she found her voice. "Your mother bought Jasmine lingerie?" The sentence sounded completely ridiculous even as she said it. Voren nodded. "To seduce me."
