Chapter 399

Zade’s eyes snap to mine, flashing blue, wider than I’ve ever seen them, which only makes me even
further humiliated before he slowly shoves the bodysuits into the broken box, a few red petals falling to
the floor only making
< worse!
He shoves the box into my arms unceremoniously. “I’ll be outside,” he says, not looking back at me as
he opens the door and steps out, leaving me completely and utterly mortified.
Atticus clears his throat. “Well, my cab is here, too. I’ll see you in a week’s time for the meeting then?”
he asks, but I can tell even he’s finding this awkward. Who wouldn’t!
“Yeah…” I nod vigorously as he pats my back and kisses my forehead.
“Goodbye, Val.”
I nod, unable to say anything. He steps out and I drop to my knees, utterly humiliated as I look at the
shameless pieces of lingerie. Why the hell did I order this crap?
Oh yeah, I was feeling fucking horny!
Great, just great!

Storming to the bedroom, I shove the box under our bed and taking a deep breath, I leave, locking the
door behind me. Atticus has left and I see Zade on his bike.
Thank God I don’t need to see his face. Not daring not to look him in the eye, I get onto the bike behind
him, putting the helmet he passes me on, making sure I make no eye contact.
Perfect, I want to hide away!
“Val-”
“It’s getting late! Let’s hurry!”
He doesn’t argue, revving the engine, and zooms down the path.
Ten minutes into the ride, I have already opened my mouth to speak twice, but I
am too embarrassed to say anything.
I sigh softly, holding him a little tighter.
“You ok?” he asks.

“Yeah,” I answer quickly.
“Great… I’ll pick you up after work… what time do you think you’ll be done?” he asks.
“Six…” I reply, wishing I could get rid of the awkwardness between us. “You shouldn’t have opened the
parcel,” I mutter.
“We just moved in yesterday and you got a parcel already? I didn’t think your would have ordered
something and received anything that fast. Especially for it to come the following day. I was just making
sure it was harmless.” He replies quietly.
Quick reply. Clearly, it is on his mind too!
“Hmm.”
“I’m sorry. Maybe a heads–up next time?” he ends in a softer tone.
“Hmph,” I respond, still feeling a little embarrassed.
We fall silent again and when we pull up outside the hospital, he stops right beside the entrance. I
remove my helmet and pass it to him before I get off.
“Hey…” he removes his own, placing a finger under my chin for a moment.
I look up into his eyes, as he lets go of my chin and runs his fingers through his hair, a move that
makes me sigh inwardly.
Goddess, he’s so swoon–worthy.
“I’m going to be late,” I say haughtily, unable to last under his intense gaze.
He leans forward, tugging me closer by my jacket. “For what it’s worth… I’m looking forward to seeing
you in those,” he breathes huskily, his lips brushing against mine. My own heart pounds as he twists his
body, gripping my waist firmly as his lips devour mine in a sizzling, deep kiss.
‘Fuck Zade…‘ I moan through the mind link, only for him to deepen the kiss hungrily.
“Tonight, Little Mate… Tonight I’m yours.‘ o
My cheeks burn, my heart leaping with excitement and nerves, and I kiss him harder, my stomach
fluttering crazily. He squeezes my ass before tapping it lightly, sending a delicious jolt of pleasure to my
core.
“I’ll see you later.” He whispers huskily.
I nod. “Bye.” I breathe as his hands leave me. My chest is rising and falling as I

wait for him to go, only for him to motion with his head towards the entrance.
He wants me to go inside first.
Shaking my head at my cluelessness, I turn and hurry inside, not wanting to keep him too long.
I stop at the entrance doorway watching as he puts his helmet back on and drives away, my heart
skipping a beat as I think of his promise of tonight….
