t that they could scent. In the next seconds he was standing Infront of the door and grabbed the door knob but it was locked. He trailed his finger on the waterproof door while con

y made her rest her head on his thigh.. "You're my Mate , Alannah and no sane creature would ever hurt their mate even if they wanted to.. we're bonded together forever. So don't be scared and let me protect you." Nicklaus coaxes her while combing her chestnut hair with his longer slender fingers.. It was the first time in her life someone was looking at her with so much affection and this awoke some Many strange feelings inside of her. Over the years she'd gotten used to how our people saw her and already gave up on the fact that someone would actually look at her with so much love and affection.. They gave her that look as if she was Medusa and would throw gazes filled with pure disgust but the stranger was genuinely concerned about her and was also patient with her even when she proved difficult.. Nicklaus brought her tiny hand to his chest and she could feel his heart beating really fast.. "Can you feel that?" He asked with a husky voice.. Annah felt butterflies in her stomach when he held her wrist, surprisingly it didn't hurt and his palm was warm.. It was the same feeling she felt when he hugged her and also in her dreams but didn't pay attention to it because she was scared. But when she felt it clearly she wanted to touch his face too and she did.. She took her hand away from his chest and placed it on his face while scrutinizing his face.. "I know you feel it too, my love. Hurting you is like hurting myself." Nicklaus placed his hand on hers which was on his cheek and stroked it gently.. His hot breath against her face sent a tingling sensation down her body and she felt relaxed immediately.. "Now, Will you come with me?"

"Thank you." Nicklaus broke into a bright smile that left her speechless for a while.. How can this man be so handsome and dangerous at the same time? Nicklaus retracted his hand and the loss of park made her frown slightly but he took her hand instead and helped her outta bed gently like he was afraid he would hurt her.. Even though Annah hasn't gotten used to the closeness between them, she didn't stop him and just let him do whatever she wants.. Nicklaus wanted to hug her and plant kisses all over her face if that was gonna ease her tensed muscle but he didn't want her to be uncomfortable.. "Can I take a shower first? I feel uncomfortable in these clothes." She asked him like she needed his opinion first and this made him smile..
