It was on the tip of my tongue to ask to shower with her, maybe get in the large tub and lounge in there with her. I had yet to break through her shyness and see her completely naked. My little bee had yet to see my cock, and I was still worried about what she would think of it.
Would it be too much for her?
I could not get rid of her delicious taste from my mouth. I constantly searched for her honey scent throughout the cabin. When she slept, when she ate, I didn’t know what she was doing to keep it hidden from me. Whatever she did to hide it from me, she did it well. Maybe she really was showering to keep it hidden. I wouldn’t let her get away with it much longer.
I hadn’t touched her pussy in a week, and it was cutting away at my restraint.
My mate had done her best to not stare at my chest or body. She only looked at my face and kept her eyes away from the low sweatpants she so loved the first day she was here. She had been distant in that regard.
I let out a low growl as I watched her sleep, curled up on the couch. Was it too much too soon? Did she not like my advances? Her cunt wept for me; her body wanted more. How could she not want more of what we did?
Too many times I had had to take my hand to my shaft and empty myself into the shower. So much seed wasted and not filled into her mouth and pussy. My cock only becomes angry, and my grizzly furious that it ran down the drain and not near my mate.
My grizzly shook himself inside me, grumbling. His fur had filled in, his muscles filling out, and his strength returning by the day. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the month’s end I would be able to shift into my animal form. His voice hadn’t returned, but I knew what he was thinking.
He thought of me as a fool.
I hadn’t told Nadia she was my mate yet, and maybe that was where I had gone wrong. She had already been through a lot in just a week, and there was never a good time to bring it up. We were enjoying each other. I was getting her healthy and concentrating on getting her well. Besides, she was sleeping and resting. That was what Bones said for her to do.
But soon I would start making my advances.
My phone buzzed in my pocket. I laid my whittling knife and block of wood on the table and reached into my pocket. I tapped the screen and sighed, seeing it was from Bones.
Bones:How’s Nadia? Have you been feeding her?
Bear:Same as yesterday.
Bones:I’m coming up for a checkup. I’m bringing a scale and vitamins. Delilah insists on coming.
I rolled my eyes. If Delilah was coming, then Hawke would come as well. I didn’t need the entire club in my den, not with my unmarked mate here. I didn’t need their smells or their unwanted questions.
Bear:You can drop off supplies. No one is coming in.
Bones:Pres’ orders. She needs a full workup. Is she talking any?
I sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of my nose.
Bear:Yes.
I snarled in frustration, the sound echoing off the walls, and slammed the phone down onto the worn leather chair with a sharp smack. The room filled with the scent of aged leather as my mate’s head jerked up, her heavy eyelids fluttering open. She reached groggily for her glasses, sliding them onto her face as she released a tired yawn.
“Is it lunchtime?” she whispered.
The way she slept and ate was very similar to a bear.
I smirked and leaned on my knees with my elbows, brushing her hair away from her eyes. “Sorry I woke you. It’s almost time for lunch. We have visitors coming, so it’s best we feed you now.”
Nadia sat up and looked to the door and back at me. Her hair was now a rich, vibrant chestnut, her cheeks flushed pink. “Who is coming?”
“Bones, Delilah, and Hawke. You remember them, right?”
She nodded and pulled the blanket around her, holding it tight. Her body immediately went into defensive mode and curled in on itself. I sat next to her and dragged her onto my lap and rested my hand on her face.
“They aren’t going to hurt you. They never would. What’s going on, little bee?”
“Nothing,” she blurted. “I’m just not used to being around a lot of people, I guess. I’m just nervous.”
I hummed in agreement. “Are you worried about talking in front of them?”
