Can't Get Near The Alpha King novel Chapter 13

His predatory eyes scan me, lust evident in them, I walk towards my bed and get under the covers and cuddle into him. My head lying on his toned chest and his arm slinging round my waist trying to get me impossibly closer.

I close my eyes as I feel him place a soft kiss on the top of my head and I sigh in contentment.

I then let sleep consume me, opening the darkness with open arms for once.

adella pov -

I wake up with my whole body lying on top of Ashton, my chest lying on his chest, my legs tangled in his.

My gown has ridden up so now just under my bum is showing, one of his arms is placed on the small of my back - if that wasn't there then my gown probably would've ridden up higher.

I look at Ashton's face, his sharp jaw bones accentuating his prominent cheek bones, his tan complexion complimenting the slight blush in his cheeks. His features relaxed which contrasts his usual state, his hair dishevelled and falling down on the right of his forehead.

The sunlight shining through my balcony doors, hitting his face - making him look even more godly. I sigh happily and lie my head back down on his chest and unconsciously trace unknown patterns on his bare chest.

I think back to last night, to the euphoric feeling of mine and Ashton's bodies uniting, the feel of his lips on mine, of his lips on my body, my soft lips on his sharp jaw.

I know you might think that I'm rushing it and I am the one who asked for time but I've known him for thirteen years and in those years I spent most of my time with him - with him being the next Alpha and me the next Beta.

Our parents always wanted us to be mates, they always insinuated that they wanted us to be together - and I guess we are now.

In this time where I zoned out, consumed by my thoughts, I don't realise Ashton is awake, this startled me at first as I looked up at him expecting to see his very much asleep state but I see his piercingly silver eyes staring back at me.

I blush ferociously and look down and snuggle back into his chest, hiding my now embarrassed state.

He chuckles at my reaction -his chest vibrating and this causes me to blush even more, but he can't see my face anymore.

"Morning." Ashton says huskily.

I slowly look up into his eyes, hoping my cheeks have returned back to their normal colour, to see a smile playing on his face.

The thin, white sheet has also fallen so I can see the top of his CK briefs, his toned and muscled chest on show - I'm not complaining though.

We sit there for a while contemplating what to do before I moved off of him and got of the bed, Ashton's gaze on me the whole time.

"Where are you going?" Ashton questioned. I turned around to face him and responded, "Going to have a shower, I'll be ten minutes."

"Can I join?" He asked teasing but still serious, I scoff and say, "You wish."

"I do wish of that and more, if you get me." He says and my mouth is left gaping open at how nonchalant he is, he bellows out in laughter at my reaction.

I decide to play along with his game, what's the harm in playing with fire when you know it won't burn you?

"Have fun sleeping in your own room tonight." I say and turn around not waiting for his reply and add a little sway to my hips while walking to the ensuite.
