15 Chapter 15

　　‘Alpha, you look awfully tired. May I suggest you rest for the night?’ Alice says. I nod, making my way to my room. Everything in my room sways; I grab onto the armchair and sit down. Kicking my shoes off, I wait for the swaying to stop. My door creaks open.

　　‘Is someone there?’ I ask, squinting at the figure I can barely make out.

　　‘It’s me!’ She says.

　　‘Astrid? Is that you?’ I ask. I try to stand; I struggle to get my balance. I feel a hand gently press against my chest.

　　‘Sit down, Ryker. I’m here now. I’ll take care of you,’ she whispers. She straddles herself on my lap.

　　‘Astrid, you came back.’

　　‘Of course, I did,’ she says, as she slowly unbuttons my shirt.

　　‘Why did you leave? Where did you go?’ I ask.

　　‘All that matters is that I’m here with you.’ 

　　One of her hands caresses my bare chest, while the other unbuttons my jeans, unfastens my belt and frees my growing bulge. Her lips brush across mine.
