Sawyer’s gaze remained on her, almost studying her. Within this proximity and such a confined space, she could smell the musky scent of his cologne emitting from his unbuttoned collar. His necklaces dangled to the middle of his chest, highlighting the bits of muscle she could see underneath. 

Sawyer’s eyes trailed to her cheeks and then finally, her lips. His body inched closer to her and with each step he took, the fine freckles that crossed the bridge of his nose became more prominent. Waverly’s body quivered as she closed her eyes and felt the heat of his breath get warmer and warmer…

Then it was gone. Waverly opened her eyes to see Sawyer standing near the shelving unit, staring at the ground. His face contorted. 

“Is everything okay?” she asked, calmly. Sawyer stood still and kept to himself. “Sawyer?” 

“Leave.”

The Alpha's Curse

Sawyer’s eyes fell to the document again. He looked as if he was processing everything that she had told him. It was a lot for her to take in, she couldn’t imagine what it was like for him. 


“Sawyer?” Waverly asked after a few minutes of silence. 


“Just give me a minute,” he said, raising his hand. He kept still; his eyebrows were wrinkled as he concentrated on a spot on the table. Then, he lifted his gaze to meet hers; they were pained and for the first time, he had realized that she could be on to something. 


“Are you okay?” she questioned, stepping closer to him. 


Waverly reached out and put a hand over his across the table, and he didn’t pull back. Her thumb rubbed the back of his hand, tenderly and instead of rejecting her, he put his other hand on top of hers. 


“I’m sorry,” she said, looking back into his eyes.
