Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0155

My heart was pounding, and my head was swimming with thoughts. Not to mention spinning. Asher had kissed me... fuck... I had kissed him back... Akira was purring loudly in my mind telling me she was more than happy with the situation, while my head was battered...

I had pulled away from him breathless... terrified. Uncertain. I gently rested my head upon his forehead, my hands still resting within his soft hair. "Asher?" I whispered breathlessly, feeling incredibly anxious right now. What had we just done? Surely we had overstepped a mark that we could not undo? One that we shouldn't have crossed...

'Didn't feel wrong though.' Akira said bluntly.

And as much as I hate to admit my wolf is right, she is right. It had shocked me the way he looked at me as I had gone to give him a kiss upon his cheek to say thank you. His eyes were filled with so many emotions, but the moment his hand was upon me pulling me close to him, I was lost. Lost in him. And then as his lips found mine, I think I melted... It wasn't what I had expected him to do or to say in response to my anger, I know that much! "Hmmm?" Asher murmured in response to me. And I cannot help but hold back a smile. I could see his chest was rising and falling almost as fast as mine. Did that mean I made him as nervous as he made me? No. That still probably didn't make this right...

"What are we doing?" I whispered, desperately needing to know what had come over him... what had made him kiss me so unexpectedly. That was not like him. Not in the slightest. He didn't even like me. He saw me as an inconvenience, didn't he?

I raised my gaze to his, and watched as he chewed his lower lip in what I assume was anxiousness. He looked quite vulnerable doing that... almost adorable... He certainly looked deep in thought. Was he regretting his actions now? I couldn't help but wonder. I honestly did not know what to think, or what to do. It had felt so good. Wrong... but right...

Asher suddenly raised his gaze nervously to meet mine, the way his green eyes were looking at me was giving me butterflies. "I don't know. But it felt good." he whispered back, and I could hear the nerves within his voice.

I smiled, looking down shyly, my cheeks flushing at his words. I was not going to argue with that.

"Bailey?" Asher said, moving back a

little more, but suddenly sounding a little less anxious now, and as I turned to meet his gaze, he was offering me his hand. I slipped my hand into his, and his hand took mine into a tight embrace, softly stroking the top of my hand with his thumb. Such a simple motion, but one that gave me goosebumps. We began to make our way up the stairs to where our rooms were. ContentContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You know Zion is talking to Akira, right?" Asher suddenly asked me out of the blue. Wait... Zion was his wolf... Akira was talking with him? How did I not know that? She had not said a word... what a sly little...

"Really?" I looked at him.

"Hmm, he just said so. I hadn't realized. Zion seems to get along quite well with her." He says with a shrug.

Wait until I am alone with my wolf...

I smiled awkwardly at Asher, as we reached the top of the stairway. "Though, have to say, I don't mind the company of her human

counterpart either." He adds with a little wink, and I find myself smiling, my cheeks flushing again.

“You want to watch who you say that in front of Beta, or people may get the wrong idea.” I warned him, and he took me by surprise and grinned.

"Oh well." He winked at me again,

and I felt my heart racing, as we reached my doorway. My hand was still within Asher's, and he pulled me closer to him, so I was close to his chestras he slipped his hand around my waist once more. I felt my legs go a little weak at his touch, as he gently spun me around, so I was suddenly against the wall next to my bedroom door.
