Sable stepped carefully behind me, her hands settling on my shoulders as she climbed onto my back. Her arms wrapped around my neck, and I stood slowly, making sure she was secure before I started walking. Am 1 too heavy?" she asked, breath warm against my ear. You weigh nothing at all." As we walked beneath the soft glow of street lamps, Sable's cheek pressed against the back of my neck.

Her warm breath sent shivers down my spine, and I had to consciously regulate my breathing to keep my body from reacting too strongly. "Caelan," she said, voice muffled against my skin. "You know what I did earlier? I told everyone in that bar that I like you. In front of all those people." "I heard every word." "Was that embarrassing? I've never done anything like that before." I adjusted my grip on her legs, making sure she was comfortable. "Not embarrassing at all. I liked hearing the whole world know you're mine." She was quiet for a moment, then her voice turned petulant.

"I'm still mad at you about yesterday." My steps faltered slightly. "Yesterday?" "In the bathroom at the restaurant. Her words came out in a rush of drunken honesty. "You pulled me in there and... did those things to me. Like some kind of animal." My back went rigid. The memory crashed over me - the jealousy, the possessive rage, the way I'd lost control completely. "You looked at me like you wanted to devour me,' she continued. "Not like you loved me. Like you owned me." "I don't like being treated that way, Caelan.

I know you're the Lycan King and you're used to taking what you want, but I'm not your property." Her voice grew stronger, more certain. 'I never gave Darrell any hope. I never encouraged him. But you didn't trust me enough to know that Fuck She's completely right. You always act first and think later. What am I to you? Just something to be conquered whenever you feel threatened?" The pain in her voice cut through me like silver. She was laying bare every mistake I'd made, every moment I'd let my possessive instincts override my respect for her. 5 need you to trust me, she whispered.

Even drunk, she was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. "Sable. My voice came out rougher than 1 intended. 'I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry." She looked up at me, waiting. You're right about everything.

My possessiveness, my jealousy - it's not fair to you. I cupped her face in my hands, thumbe stroking her soft skin. You deserve better than that." I know you've never betrayed my trust. The problem isn't you it's me and my fucked-up need to control everything. Her eyes searched mine. Promise me you'll try to do better." I promise. No more scenes like yesterday. Ever. Back at her apartment, I used the key she'd given me weeks ago to let us in. The simple act of being trusted with access to her private space still sent warmth through my chest every time.

Sable immediately kicked off her heels and stumbled toward the couch, her movements loose and uncoordinated. I caught her before she could collapse. "Bath first, then sleep." "Don't wanna," she mumbled against my chest. "Tired." "You'll feel terrible in the morning if you don't clean up." I lifted her easily, carrying her toward the bathroom. "Trust me." in the bathroom, I set her down carefully and turned on the shower, testing the water temperature with my hand until it was perfect. Steam began to fog the mirror. "Arms up," I said gently.

She raised her arms obediently, and I carefully lifted her dress over her head. Her skin was flushed pink from the wine, and I had to force myself to focus on taking care of her rather than how beautiful she looked. Under the warm spray, she leaned heavily against me, eyes half-closed in contentment. I washed her hair with gentle movements, my fingers working through the long strands while she made soft, pleased sounds. "Feel good?" I asked, "Mmm. She nuzzled against my wet shirt.
