Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 217

I awoke feeling satisfied and content in a warm embrace. I rolled over sleepily, as I looked toward the man beside me. Mmmm, last night had been so good! I smiled at him seductively, and he smiled back.

“Good morning beautiful.” He said, his voice a little hoarse, as he placed a gentle kiss on the end of my nose. “So, did you enjoy your night?” he raised his brows suggestively, and I felt color filling my cheeks, as I nodded in response.

“I would have thought that was obvious, wasn’t it?” I said with another smile. There was no denying we worked well together. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he had brought me to breaking point so many times last night, and into the early hours…

He chuckled. “Well, I always aim to please. But then, I think you know that.” he brought his lips to mine, and I felt myself surrendering to the softness of his kisses once more. A sensation I don’t think I could tire of.

His lips devoured mine greedily, like it was the last time he would kiss me, as his tongue found mine, his naked body pressing against mine and once more I felt the desire he was feeling for me. I don’t think that ever tired…

“Again?” I giggled lightly. Wow, I will be struggling to walk today…

“You know you love it.” He murmured against my lips as he nibbled playfully at my lower lip, as his hands began to wander across my naked body.

“Mmmm.” I responded. The thing was, I think I did love it. I knew I loved him. I think I always had since we first met…

His phone began to buzz persistently from the bedside table, causing him to release me from his grip in frustration to answer it, sitting himself up as he did. “Oh good morning beautiful.” He said, his voice dripping with charm, making me twist myself to look up at him. And the moment his gaze met mine, he brought his finger to his lips, signaling for me to be quiet. At that moment, I felt like my heart was being shredded into pieces. But I did as I was asked, not wanting to anger him. “Oh, you wanted to talk now, huh?” he questioned, a little attitude to his voice.

Had they had a fall-out? Either way, when I chosen to meet Jacob last night, he had told me they were over… Said there was no going back. He said the timing was perfect, because it meant he got to save me from the pending wedding before it was official. He said he would save me from making a mistake. But this did not sound like they were over. Far from it!

“Well, we will have to see, won’t we?” He said haughtily. “But I need to go, things to do, you know that.” he hung up his phone, dropping it back to its place on the bedside table, looking at me, his eyes all pleading like a little puppy dog begging for food.

‘Stunning as you look, Kai, he could do better, I am sure. You not wanting to come back to me? You know I could please you so much better.’ Jacob mindlinked as I moved along the aisle, and I had to fight the pain within my chest. Yes, he likely could please me so much better, but I needed this. I needed to get away from the hell that was bringing me down in my pack.

I kept moving. ‘You know I love you, Kai. You love me too. I just find it hard to show it sometimes.’ Jacob linked again and this time my steps faltered a little at his show of emotion and feeling, but I felt the grip of my Dad’s hand on mine tighten, as he looked at me.

‘Do not even think of changing your mind. Imagine the humiliation you would cause us. Not to mention the money they have paid to the pack.’ He linked coldly, as he all but dragged me to continue along the aisle, and as I reached Miles he smiled brightly at me while my Dad placed my hand into his.

It seemed the wedding was happening whether I wanted it or not. ‘Hey.’ I greeted him, nervously, stumbling through nervous chat with him before the wedding vows were done. All of it a massive blur, my mind so focused on everything else, how unsure I was of all of this. Trying hard to fight my wolf from whimpering loudly. Not to mention keeping the block up against Jacob, knowing he would be wanting to mindlink me, trying to sway my decision. I truly don’t know this is what I wanted…

“And I now pronounce you man and wife!” the wedding officiant announced loudly, to a cheer from our guests. “You may kiss the bride.” He said with a smile to Miles, who tentatively reached for me, softly placing his hand upon my face to bring my face to his. His lips met mine in a tender but emotionless kiss. I felt nothing. The fire and passion I had hoped for was simply not there. I felt nothing for the man I had just married. As kind as he may be trying to be toward me, there was no draw to him. No connection like I had to Jacob. I think I made a mistake…
