In Between The Alphas
Chapter 52

I didn't have any nightmares. In fact, I think this is the most peaceful night's sleep I have had in a while.

I woke up to my cheek pressed against a hard chest and my hand was laid flat against his abs.

One of his hands rested against my shoulder while the other one was on the bare skin on my lower back, my shirt must have ridden up sometime during the night.

Our legs were also tangled together. I looked up slightly and saw that Logan was still asleep and I took the time to admire his sleeping form. His lashes fanned across his cheekbones and his features looked so relaxed.

I decided to gently get out of bed but I must have miscalculated how entangled we were because when I tried to move out of his embrace I accidentally brushed against the wrong or right place depending on how you saw it.

In the flash of a second I was on my back and Logan was hovering over me and I let out a small gasp of surprise.

"That's one way to wake someone up," he said in a voice that was extra husky from sleep and I had to force myself not to squeeze my thighs together seeing as he was in-between them.

I just swallowed audibly because I couldn't form any coherent sentences because this little in!imate position had my nether regions weeping.

"I can smell you Charlotte," he said as his nostrils flared, "I've always been able to smell you and it is such t*****e to have this scent around me and not be able to do anything about it."

I opened my mouth but no words came out and he pressed his h!ps to mine and I let out a small moan and he let out a curse of his own.

He leaned down and kissed me hard. My fingers immediately found their way into his hair as I pulled him closer to me.

One of his hands cupped my neck while the other ran down the length of my torso eliciting goosebumps and finally settled on my h!ps.

He pulled away and I almost moaned in protest but quickly shut up when he began to trail wet open-mouthed kisses on my neck. I arched into him and he trailed his tongue down to my collarbone and he svcked the skin into his mouth hard before lightly biting on the area making me moan out loud.

As much as I wanted him to, he didn't go lower than my collarbone but I didn't have much energy in me to protest considering the fact that I have completely lost function of my vocal chords. In fact, the only sounds they are capable of making light now are moans. He pulled away after a second and I was left staring at him with a mixture of list and shock. I swear that ever cell in my brain is completely melted.

We stared at each other for a full second before I saw a look cross over his face and I knew. I knew he regretted what he had just done. I pushed myself up to a sitting position but he wouldn't meet my eyes anymore.

I decided to leave before he could utter those two words that would ruin what started out to be an amazing morning. I moved to leave but he held onto my hand.

"Don't run," he said softly but I couldn't bring my eyes to him, "Charlotte,"

"Don't say it," I cut in, "I know you regret it but just don't say it."

"You think that was what I was going to say?" he asked incredulously.

"I saw the look in your eyes," I began, "And I really don't want to hear it right now."

"The only thing I regret," he began and I winced inwardly, "Is doing this not up to twenty four hours after what happened to you."

I finally raised my eyes to his.

"I would never regret kissing you," he continued,"

What I do regret is taking advantage of you while you were vulnerable."

"You didn't take advantage of me,"I said softly, "I wanted it and even if I didn't I would have said so. You didn't force me or anything."

He didn't respond using words, instead he gave me a much softer variation of the kiss he gave me earlier.

"You should get ready," he said softly, "We're going to see Diana." I leaped off the bed as soon as he finished speaking and he let out a small chuckle, If only you would be this excited to see me." I ignored him and was about to leave when he stopped me.

"You can use my bathroom if you want," he said with a nonchalant shrug, "Instead of going all the way back to your room.

"But my body was-"

"Use mine," was his reply and I raised a brow but he just shrugged, It's no big deal really, you'll just end up smelling like me and I think that's a plus."

I thought about it for a second before nodding.

"No peeking," I warned him and he gave me a smile.

"Scout's honor," he said holding his and against his chest.

"But you're not a scout" I said and he just shrugged in response.

I made my way to the bathroom and when I passed by him he gave my a-ss a small swat and I turned to him with a frown.

"You're not slick Logan," I said and he just shrugged.

"Who said I was trying to be?"

I had finished taking a shower when I realized that there were no towels or robes in here and I let out a small curse.

"Logan," I called out softly praying he was still in the room.

"Is everything okay?" he asked and I swallowed before replying.

"There isn't a towel here," I said, "Do you think you could pass me one please.

LOGAN'S P.O.V

It was a serious battle to not go into the bathroom after her. I can't get the scent of her arousal out of my head and it's becoming really difficult to go about my day with a f*****g boner all the time.

But I can't rush her and I can't push her. She doesn't know and I won't have her loving me just because she knows I'm her mate. I want her to love me the way I love her; because she loves me not because she feels obligated to do it. "Logan," her soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I immediately rose.

"Is everything alright?" I hope she isn't hurt.

"There's no towel here," she said, "I was wondering if you could pass me one please."

I cursed at my forgetfulness and picked up a fluffy grey towel from my wardrobe and walked into the bathroom.

I saw her- well her silhouette and grew hard instantly. She was in the shower and I knew the only thing blocking her from me was the fog that covered the shower glass. I could see every part of her and I couldn't- wouldn't touch her. I suppressed a groan and knocked on the stall. She opened it slightly and stuck out her hand. I placed the towel in her hand but I couldn't stop our skin from brushing and pulled back almost immediately.

Just before she closed the door I caught the heady scent of her arousal and I hurried out of there before I did something that we would definitely regret.
