Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- been better or worse if they'd had that kind of promise between them? Would Ashly have trusted him more, or would it simply have hurt him more deeply in the end? Ashly sighed and circled the desk to perch on the edge of it in front of Alex. "At first, I did," she said. She set his tablet next to him, resting her fingers on the dark screen, looking at the way her touch smeared the glass instead of at Alex. "It would have been easier when I was pregnant.

People kept giving me these pitying looks every time I told them I was unbonded. I hated it. But after..." She didn't continue; she just cocked her head and glanced up at Alex through her lashes. Alex could fill in the gaps. If they'd not been mated when Ashly came to find him every time in his old house, when he made Sam call her and told her to stay away from Alex and assumed the worst, it would have broken her.

They taught how to recognize it in middle school health class and warned a bunch of scared kids barely into puberty about the importance of seeking out medical care immediately .

Alex reached for her, curled her fingers around Ashly's wrist, and couldn't find the words for how sorry he was for the way things had happened. ---- Ashly shook her head like a dog shaking off water, and when she looked up again, there was a teasing smile on her lips. "If that was supposed to bea proposal, Alex, it needs some work." Alex smiled too, unable to help himself. As long as Ashly was happy, he was happy. "Trust me-when I propose to you, you'1l know it," he promised.

because there was no way that he was walking away from Ashly again. He hoped desperately that Ashly felt the same way, that this was forever, and that they would never again have reason to be apart. "sap," Ashly accused , but she was still smiling , and she slid off the edge of the desk and perched herself in Alex's lap instead, clutching the lapels of Alex's suit jacket.

"We're at work!" she hissed , sounding scandalized . As though she wasn't using Alex as a chair. Alex slid his hands up the back of his mate's jacket , spread his palms across the warm span of her back, and pulled her closer. "Let's go to lunch; then, Iam hungry," he murmured, nipping Ashly's ear.

"Alex, really, I will kick your ass," Ashly said in a tone that was meant to be scolding, even though her fingers were tugging open the collar of Alex's shirt so ---- that she could kiss her way down Alex's neck. "In your office , with the door open? Anyone could see." "Everyone's gone to lunch," Alex pointed out, tipping his head to give Ashly better access. "You made sure of that before you came in here." A soft huff of laughter , warm against her skin.

Alex teeth scraped over his mate clavicle, and then he pulled away, got up, straightened her jacket, and looked down her nose at Alex, still sprawled in his desk chair with her face flushed and his clothes awry. "Come on, let's go for lunch; I am really hungry," she said. "Wha--?" Alex managed eloquently. Ashly grabbed his hands and dragged him upright , then tugged him out of his office and down the hall.

The few employees left in the main office tittered as they passed, but Ashly either didn't notice or didn't care because she didn't let go of Alex's wrist.
