Chapter 215
Chapter 0215
I can see the impact my statement has on Liam. Instantly, his eyes darken and his throat convulses as
if he’s trying to swallow but his throat has gone dry.
I turn back to the picture. Young Liam is something to behold. He has a huge smile on his face and it
lights up his eyes. I wonder if anything can ever put that look back on his face.
Seeing this picture had an immediate effect on me. Maybe it’s the mate bond that’s in full effect. But the
moment I saw this picture, I knew I wanted to have Liam’s children. I want to have a whole litter of pups
running around with his smile on their faces, maybe a mixture of our eyes and hair color, but I want it
like I’ve never wanted anything in my life.
I know in this moment, that I want to be mated to this man. We still have things to work through, I need
to know that I can trust him completely, but the thought of not marking him as mine and having another
she–wolf take my place as his mate, is incomprehensible.
I put the picture back and realize that Liam has his shirt unbuttoned. His rippling abdominal muscles
are right there. I turn and run my fingers over the ridges of his abs up to his chest. “Is there a reason
you are partially dressed?”novelbin
The feel of his body shivering at my touch is empowering. I love having an effect on this srong man.
His voice is husky when he responds. “I was going to take it off so you could cut my hair.”
I reach
my hands up and push his shirt off his shoulders, sliding my hands down his arms, as the shirt drops to
the floor. “Good idea.” I say in a whisper. “Where are we going to cut your hair?”
He hooks his thumb behind him. “Bathroom.” He says, but doesn’t move and doesn’t take his eyes off
me..
I run my hands back up his strong arms before sliding them up his neck into hist hair. His eyes stay on
mine until I begin running my fingers through his hair, then they fall closed as I graze my nails over his
scalp.
“I see you like this as much as I do.” I say, enjoying the feel of him relaxing.
“I like you touching me.”
He takes my hands and pulls me with him into the bathroom, sitting down in a
+15 BONDS
chair. “No one has really touched me since my mother died. Not like this anyway. I’ve had lovers, but
that’s different and nothing long–term. This feels more…. intimate.”
I pick up the comb, running it through his thick hair before answering. “I can’t imagine what that must
have been like for you.” I say before coming to stand in front of him.
“Lonely.” He replies, pulling me between his legs so I’m closer to him. “Did you want to continue
listening to the music list I made you while you do this?”
I look down at him. He’s watching me. “Sure.”
He pulls his phone out of his pocket, turning on the playlist before I hear music coming from his
bedroom. “I have it set up to go through the speakers in my room.” He says.
I begin to cut his hair. While it’s thick and curly, his hair is very soft. I’m enjoying running my fingers
through it as I pull it up to cut it. I’m not sure how short he wants it but I’m keeping it long enough that I
can still feel it between my fingers as I run them through his hair.
I chuckle at the song playing. ‘You’re barely waking, and I’m tangled up in you.‘
“That sounds like us in the morning.”
His hands start rubbing up and down my hips. “Do you know that I’ve never slept as well as I have the
last couple of nights? I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night before that first night with
you.”
