Mostly we leave our clothes where we can find them or use the ones hidden in different spots. Like I said, it would be traumatizing for children to watch naked pack members every time someone shifts.
As for us sleeping together three years ago, well, I still can’t remember the details of that night. Meaning, technically, even though we have slept together and have a kid, I’ve never seen him naked.
“Please, turn around,” she whispers almost as if it’s a prayer.
“Seriously, Nyx?”
“What? I want to see what he’s packing.”
“We hate him.”
“True, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look at or admire those muscles... I mean, look at him. You have to admit that he’s a fine specimen, even if he’s a complete jerk.”
I don’t say anything. I refuse to admit a single thing. It doesn’t matter anyway. Alec is a no-go zone.
As if feeling my gaze on him, he turns. It’s dark, but with his heightened vision, I know he can clearly see me.
I refuse to turn and hide. I refuse to pretend like I wasn’t watching him. I am not a coward.
“Come on, Sadie, just one peek,” Nyx begs, her voice filled with a hint of desperation.
She’s honestly a confusing wolf. One minute she hates his guts, and the next she wants to see his dick. I mean, who even does that? I blame the effects of the moon because I refuse to accept that I have a horny and dirty-minded wolf.
Despite her begging, my eyes remain firmly fixed on his face. I fight with everything I got, unwilling to let my eyes look down past his neck. I don’t need any temptation, especially this close to the full moon.
I may be seeing things, but I feel like his eyes are daring me the more I continue to watch. It’s as if he’s daring me to take in all of him and not feel any bit of attraction to him.
I feel the pull. The need to touch his skin. Feel him against me, skin to skin. Feel the heat between us. I feel the desire to be in my mate’s arms. To drown in his scent and to have him mark and mate me. I feel it all. I crave it. I clench my fist and jaw fighting against it. I fight against my very nature. I refuse to succumb to him and the mate bond.
We stare at each other for a few minutes until he turns away and shifts into his huge black wolf. He sprints towards the forest, and I finally heave a sigh of relief.
I turn away from the window and just lean against it. That was intense, and I hate intense.
