Bad Love an Alpha’s Regret by Elise Sinclair

Chapter 27
I make some sound.
It’s not a yes or a no or even coherent I don’t think.
“This a ss is mine, Leah.”
My brows draw together. Does he mean...
I sneak a quick glance back at him.
He nods.
I gulp.
I, uh, well, I like everything we do, but that’s something we haven’t tried.
“What if I don’t like it?” I whisper.
He grins. “I’ll make sure you do.”
But he doesn’t pull out or go there, he keeps thrusting. And maybe it’s the di rty talk or the anticipation of what he’s about to do,
but I start to come.
Aaron’s thumb presses just a little more and I feel it against my inner walls and the ridges of his own co ck where he’s buried
inside me.
I clamp down hard around him, my inner muscles pulsing and clenching.
The fact that I’m so turned on se nds him over the edge too.
He comes with a roar.
My breasts rub against the blanket and my body continues to pulse. It’s so intense, my eyes burn.
What this wolf does to me... I don’t think it can get better, and yet somehow, each time, it does.
I feel Aaron releasing inside me, and as he fills me, he leans over my body to kiss my neck and mo uth.

When he collapses beside me and drags me back against him, I relish the closeness for a moment, then I force myself to stand
and to move away to get dressed.

He watches me warily.
I ha te to get up after s*x. It’s like my body goes into sh utdown mode. The best sleep I ever have is after a night with Aaron, and
instead I’m rushing off right now.
I drag on my shirt and pants.
Only there is nowhere to go.
I slowly spin around to face him.
“You going somewh
SKS.
I shrug.
“You in a rush?”
I look around the cabin for a distraction.
“We can talk about it,” he says quietly.
But what is he referring to-the council, Jessica, my ca ncer? He doesn’t know about those things. And I have no intention of
telling him.
I bite my lip and shake my head.
He ha tes that I sh ut him out.
And maybe that’s why he brought me here, thinking a new environment with just the two of us would make me confide in him.
But I can’t. I won’t.

I couldn’t before. And after what he did tonight to my father...
I’m done.
Panic rises in my body, it has me breathing fast and fighting tears I can’t control.
Instead of the joy I’d normally feel, I find myself losing hope.
I can’t have children.
I can’t grow old.
I don’t have a wolf.
I’m...dying.
My pack is a mess and my father...
His eyes search mine like he can see into my soul.
Maybe he can.

”
As an Alpha, his powers are strong and his senses so acute.
He stands and stretches. “Why don’t you go and freshen up. I’ll wash up out here and make breakfast.”
He’s letting me off the hook.

I’m a second away from a panic attack, and rather than press his advantage, he lets me go. Part of me wants to say thank you,
but I don’t.
I head in the direction of the one door at the left side of the
kitchen.
I’m not sure what kind of rig this place has for a shower, but I’ll make it work.
If nothing else, I’ll just have a few minutes alone to get my emotions back under control. Because I can’t afford to lose it in
front of him. I can’t.
Maybe I’m afraid that finally saying the truth aloud to him will change everything.
And why do I even care about these things when everything between us is so f**ked up? Tears are leaking from the corners of
my eyes, but I don’t make a sound.
I reach the bathroom door and open it.
A phone starts ringing loudly.
It’s my ringtone.
Aaron grabs it and checks the screen. He growls. “What the he ll, Leah!?”
