Chapter 0198 Chapter 0198 +25 BONUS Yes , I said , dipping my fingers into the warm water .
Im also doing some occupational therapy , and Im hoping the combination will help me recover my wolf more quickly .
Her eyes softened with genuine curiosity .
Do you feel its making a difference ? Have you noticed anything yet ? I hesitated , my face heating as I remembered the way I had growled at Alexander the other day an unintentional slip I hadnt quite managed to explain .
I shrugged , attempting to downplay my frustration .
Ive noticed a few small things , I admitted , but I still dont feel like Ive truly reconnected with my wolf yet .
Its … frustrating .
All progress is good progress , she said gently , her voice steady and encouraging .
Keep doing what youre doing , and Im confident youll get there .
Her reassurance hit a soft spot , and I offered a small smile .
Thank you , I said sincerely , the words carrying more weight than I expected .
ww Oh, it seems we have company , Stephanie said , glancing over my shoulder .
I had been so absorbed in our conversation that I hadnt noticed the faint creak of the locker room door .
Turning to look , I felt my eyes widen as Alexander strode toward the pool , dressed in nothing but a pair of swim shorts .
My pulse quickened , and I suddenly became acutely aware of just how much skin my own swimsuit revealed .
It took every ounce of self control not to fold my arms across my chest in a futile attempt at modesty .

He smirked as he approached , his eyes sweeping over me with a slow , deliberate intensity that sent a flush creeping up my neck .
That knowing look only made me more self conscious , though I tried to hold my ground .
Still , I couldnt stop my gaze from wandering , taking in the sharp lines of his torso and the effortless strength in his stride .
How did he manage to look like that ? I wondered half annoyed and half mesmerized .
He hardly ever left his office so where on earth did he find the time to maintain such an impressive physique ? Youve had quite a workout today , Stephanie said , her tone light and cheerful .
I think we can call it for this session .
I look forward to swimming with you again .
Already ? I asked , surprised .
But before I could say more , Stephanie was already gliding toward the steps to exit the pool .
She must have noticed the obvious tension crackling between Alexander and me and decided to make a graceful escape .
I couldnt blame her , though a flicker of frustration rose at being left alone with him something Id been trying to avoid all day .
Alexander strode past me toward the deep end of the pool , His movements unhurried but purposeful .
Without a word , he dove in with perfect form , cutting through the water like he belonged to it .
I couldnt help but watch as he glided beneath the surface , his body a blur of strength and precision .
When he resurfaced , droplets of water sprayed from his hair as he shook his head , leaving him looking impossibly smug and effortlessly handsome .
He swam toward me , and as he got closer , that infuriating smirk was still firmly in place .
My pulse quickened , and before I could stop myself , I plunged my hands into the water and splashed him .
Alexander surfaced , sputtering in surprise before bursting into laughter , the sound warm and rich .
Stop teasing me ! I demanded , unable to suppress the mix of amusement and exasperation in my voice .

How am I teasing you ? he asked , feigning innocence .
I havent even said a word to you yet .
You know exactly what youre doing , I shot back , crossing my arms and trying to ignore the heat rising to my cheeks .
Do I ? he asked , leaning close to me .
My breath caught as he looked down at me , our bodies nearly touching .
