My Step-Dad Is My Mate novel Chapter 8

Richard's POV

"What's the matter Richard?" Roseanna asked me as she entered our bathroom and left the door slightly open.

I ran my hand furiously through my hair as the images of that damn wolf growling at me as he held onto Danica (last chapter when Aiden growled at him) . What right does he have? Growling at me and touching her. My mate!

Danica. She's suppose the be the one I married, the one I spend my life with but here I was spending it with her mother while she watched. It's beyond rude of me, I know but I have no other choice. God, why didn't the Goddess give me a mate my own age like every other male wolf out there? And one that isn't my stepdaughter. I know Danica hated me for what I've been doing and I want her forgiveness-Fuck that, I need it but it's hard enough. Now, harder considering that wolf boy is getting too close to her for comfort.

"I'm fine honey." I replied.

"We've been married for two years Richard; I know when something is bothering you."

"Yeah well then you would have seen I've been bothered for all of those two years..." I muttered so softly so she wouldn't be able to hear.

Roseanna stuck her head out of the bathroom door and narrowed her eyes at me. "What was that?"

"Nothing Rose, Nothing nothing."

I heard her sigh and exit the bathroom while I laid back on the bed with my eyes shut.

The bed dipped then I felt her weight on top of me. My eyes shot open as I stared at Roseanna with a raised brow.

"Maybe I can help you with that....You know..we haven't done anything since Dani's birthday and I think it's a bit overdue." She said with a wink and I cringed internally.

I avoided any sexual contact with Rose since Danica found out we were mates. I mean, yeah we did it before and I knew Danica was my mate but now it's way more different.

She actually knows now and the pull is stronger, it feels wrong having sex with anyone but her.

Dani is my mate but I know there is no way she is going to want anything to do with me in that way for a very very long time if at all.

Maybe it wouldn't hurt... Hell, it might even help me think straight. I need a good release to clear my head.

I smirked at Roseanna and gripped her waist as my hand found its way around.

Danica's POV

"He said he loves me cuz I'm loyal…loyal. Put none above me cuz I'm loyal, loyal. He fuckin' with me cuz I'm loyal, loyal..." I sang out another favorite song of mine, FWU by Kehlani while I made my bed.

Aiden was taking a shower so he could go see his parents then do perimeter checks with my Alpha. In a way, I was kind of sad we couldn't spend the day together.

His attention was really comforting, especially with everything going on- I needed it. I had washed the clothes he was wearing and dried them so he'd have something to wear. I had suggested to Aiden to wear something of Richard's but he said he'd rather go naked.

As much as I knew Aiden had no issue with walking around my pack in his birthday suit-because he is an extremely bold person- I on the other hand was against it. Other females seeing his...'parts', the thought bothered me in a type of way.
