Chapter 52: Woman

I looked to Chase who was still crouched and waiting for my move. I asked, "Thank you for this calmness you gifted me, but what is this other feeling?". He looked almost puzzled with my last question. Chase then replied, "I only gave you a sense of serenity. Your heightened senses must be picking up what I feel when I am with you".

His words resonated inside my heart. How could he feel such a pure and beautiful feeling for me so soon? Did I dare to think that this was what happiness felt like, should I ask?

Chase realizing I had calmed down and wasn't going to run any longer he pulled me close, "I feel things for you that I have not felt for anyone in a very long time. I think destiny is playing a part in your presence among my brothers and I. I am happy you are here". He must have sensed my question before I had asked. Chase did not bother me this time when he read my mind. I allowed him inside when I knocked down that barrier.

Chase leaned down and kissed my forehead softly, like if he pressed his lips any harder to my skin then I might shatter. I wasn't delicate like he thought though. I didn't need to be coddled like a baby. I was a women and a wolf after all and it's time that he saw that. He had feelings and desires and I did too. Enough about the past and the pain. I wanted new memories, good memories with good people.

Wanting to be bold and maybe a little seductive I changed the subject, "Now that I answered your question. Will you answer mine?". Chase looked unsure as he answered in the affirmative. Hmm what was he hiding?

I pulled the oversized shirt over my head, revealing my naked body. I stood there for few seconds letting him get a full view before I ran for the pool and jumped in. My head emerged from the water and I had a wide grin on my face. The water was beyond refreshing and washed away the earlier talks. The feeling of renewed energy and freedom filled me.

I pushed the hair back from my face and then motioned for Chase to join me. "Will you join me?", I asked cunningly. He was like a God among men and I wanted to feel his strength again. My body craves his fierce touch, not the delicate glass breaking touch I had just received.

Doubts about James and if I had done something wrong poked at my confidence. Not now I told myself and locked that self doubt door. Chase was perfect and I wanted a small taste of his perfection. He offered in the first place right?
