THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 407

ASHANTI'S POV.

My heart still feels hollow because of what I experienced during the day, but my stomach is pretty full because Alpha Reagan made sure to feed me beyond my limit. I can't even breathe properly right now.

“Are you still mad at me for making you finish your portion of food?” His smooth, baritone voice breaks the silence. I playfully snort and roll my eyes at him.

“I don't even want to talk to you right now. Leave me alone.” My response earns me a chuckle from him. A chuckle that makes me feel like the sky has parted and heaven has blessed me with a miracle. I hate to admit it, but I really like being around this man. I make the best memories and have the sweetest moments when I spend time with him.

I wonder if he feels the same way.

“You told me you were famished yet you wanted to stop eating after taking barely five scoops of your meal, telling me you are full. That's absurd.”

“No it's not. There are people who don't need large portions of food to get full.”

“So you need just five scoops of food to get full.”

“Well…” I tilt my head from side to side as I think of a response to give him but none comes to mind. “Well…” I stall as I try to think harder, but my mind is still empty. I finally give up. “You know what? Yes! I only need five scoops of any meal to get full no matter how hungry I am.”

“Now that is a lie. A very fat lie.” He leans back, folds his arms over his chest and gives me a queer look. “Ashanti, I never took you for a liar. You surprise me everyday!”

“I'm not lying! It's the truth.” The laughter bubbling in my throat betrays me by bursting out.

“You see. It sounds so stupid, it's making you laugh. But don't you worry. Henceforth, I'll make sure to take you out for dinner everyday so you get to eat properly.”

“You mean so I get to eat beyond my limit and get fat?”

“That doesn't sound like a bad idea?”

My jaw is on the floor. The audacity of this man!

I gasp in shock as I shoot him a very dark frown.

“Really now!”

“Yeah.” A casual shrug follows that very nonchalant response. “It’s not like eating a good dinner will make you fat, but even if it does, there's no problem.”

“There's no problem…what do you mean there's no…in fact.” I stop talking. I pinch the bridge of my nose and exhale a heavy breath with my eyes closed. I take a moment to relax. To gather my bearings because this man is driving me crazy. “You know what… I don't want to have this conversation with you anymore. We seem to have arrived. I'll go in now.” I stretch my hand to reach for the door but he beats me to it and places his hand over the door handle, preventing me from getting a hold of it. I quickly turn to face him and our faces nearly collide. That's when I notice how close we are. He's leaning closer to me in order to be able to reach my door handle and even though we are sitting, his towering height never fails to dominate mine. I'm literally looking at his face as though I'm looking up at a tree and he's staring down at me with his perfect facial features.

Heat consumes my face.

Our lips.

God they are so close.
