Chapter 7

Chapter 7 - Roman

I heard the door click shut behind my gorgeous mate. My blood pumped through my skull and my wolf paced impatiently inside me. I rubbed my chest and held tight to the stained control I had over my wolf.

When I heard the shower turn on I turned towards my room. Once inside, I stripped down, threw my phone and keys on the night stand and grabbed some grey sweatpants and a black tank. I knew I was showing off for my mate but hell I never claimed to be humble.

I walked back over to the far side of my bed and picked up my cell. I sat there and skimmed to make sure there wasn't anything from my Alpha, the President of the Dark Vikings MC. I'd need to make contact as his Gamma, but it would keep for tonight. Once I was satisfied, I walked back out to my kitchen and start pulling out the ingredients for a simple meal of shrimp and pasta in my Mama's butter garlic sauce.

It wasn't often that I felt like cooking, but with Cherry in the other room naked and wet, I had to find something to keep my hands busy.

I finished plating the linguine and brought it to the bar between the kitchen and dining room as the shower turns off. I can't stop my eyes from darting to the door. My Cherry. My mate.

I think back to how happy my mom and dad were when they were alive. I just know that my future is standing on the other side.

I'm pulled out of my reverie by the appearance of the most stunning creature I've ever laid eyes on. It takes me a second to remember to breathe. As her scent mixed with my body wash and shampoo and my control almost snapped. My wolf was salivating and desperately trying to get closer to our mate.

Her curly brunette hair still wet as it fell in curls around her petite shoulders. Her alabaster skin and delicate features make me want to whimper. She's a goddess. An angel. Superior to the rest of us. I loved the flush on her cheeks from the heat of the shower.

She slowly walked toward the food and took a big inhale. She looked more clear-eyed but moreso I couldn't stop the growl at the sight of the healing black eye and busted lip. Her eyes snapped to mine and time stopped.
