Chapter 44
Lexi
I can’t believe I kissed Aiden. That wasn’t my intention when we went for our walk. Or when we were standing at the pond. It just felt right at the moment. But once Aiden returned me home I started to feel guilty. I knew Luther would be waiting for me. We were staying at my place tonight. Aiden got out of his truck, helped me out and walked me to the door. I turned to him and said “ Thank you for tonight. I had a good time with you.” Aiden kissed my cheek. “ You are very welcome. I enjoyed doing the whole human thing. It gave me a chance to see a little of how you have been living all these years. I would like to do it again. And soon.” he said. “ Aiden, that is a sweet offer. But you know I haven’t completely forgiven you yet. As much as I hate to part with Razor I can’t forgive what you did to me. Not yet.” I said. Although it made me sad to say it.
Aiden places his hand on my cheek “ I know sweetheart. I know you aren’t there yet. Truthfully, I don’t think I would respect you as much as I do if you did. But I know I’m not giving up. You are going to be seeing a lot more of me. Whether it is taking you on a date, or rubbing your sore muscles after training, helping you study, or just supporting you. I’m going to show you I’m in this fight with you. I always thought there was nothing I wanted more than being Alpha of my pack. But I was wrong. I want you. And I’m not stopping until I get it.” I won’t say it out loud but I like everything Aiden said.
But there is something else I need to know. “ What about Luther? You know you are going to have to share me with him. We are supposed to work as a team from what the Elders have told me.” I asked. “ When I’m not with you I’m going to be working on befriending Luther. He is your mate too and you are right we need to work together. I will earn both your trust. I figure I need to earn his too after what I did. I know the time for the rejection is coming soon. I don’t expect you to have completely forgiven me by then. I’m only asking for you to consider not doing it. I will spend the rest of my life making sure you only ever feel love and desire from me. You will never again feel pain from my words.” he said.
I open my mouth to say something but no words come out. I don’t know what to say. Aiden saves me the trouble. “ I don’t want an answer now. I just want you to think about it. Talk it over with Luther. That is all I ask.” he said. That I can give him. Aiden kisses my forehead. “ Now, get your sexy ass inside. I can feel Luther trying to be patient and give us time. But he and his wolf will only hold out for so long before one of them yanks open the door.” Aiden laughs.
As if on cue the door opens to Luther standing there blocking the entire entrance. He addresses Aiden first by holding out his hand. “Aiden” Aiden politely shakes Luther's hand “ Luther.” Then Luther looks at me “ Wow, baby. I haven’t seen you dressed up before. You look stunning.” I know my cheeks are turning red for the look of lust Luther is giving me. “ Thank You, honey.” Luther looks sternly at Aiden. If Aiden hadn’t been an Alpha I’m sure he would have bared his neck. “ I trust that you took good care of our girl.” Luther said.
Our girl? “ Yes, I made sure she was safe at all times. We had a nice dinner. And as hard as it was, I didn't grope her once.” Aiden said. Why did I get the feeling that conversations like this were going to happen often in my future? But I had to say something. “ Umm, Luther, Aiden was a perfect gentleman. The thing is. I didn’t exactly act like a lady.” I said. I hope this doesn’t blow up in my face. “ I kissed Aiden. He didn’t try anything. I made the move. Part of me feels like I should feel guilty but another part is telling me I have done nothing wrong.” I said.
Luther places a hand on my shoulder. “ Baby, you have nothing to feel guilty for. Listen to the part that says you did nothing wrong. You have two mates. The bond between you and Aiden is still intact until the rejection. It is normal to want to be close to him and want to kiss him. And I’m not mad. I promise. I understand I have to share you. If not with Aiden then someone else.” I hear a growl come from Aiden when Luther mentions someone else. “ Easy Aiden. I’m just making a point so Lexi understands she doesn’t have to feel guilty for kissing either one of us.” Luther said.
“ Sorry. And Luther is right. You should never feel bad for anything you do with your mates. It is natural. Most mates have bonded and marked each other by now. If it bothers me or Luther for some reason that is our problem not yours and we are just going to have to get over it.” Aiden said. I looked at Luther to see if he felt the same way. “ I agree with Aiden. I wrap my arms around Luther, get up on my tip toes and kiss his cheek. “ Thank you.” I do the same with Aiden. And tell him goodnight. Maybe all this can workout after all.
I had one class tomorrow and training with Luther’s pack so he insisted that I go straight to bed since it was late. Luther followed me upstairs and helped me get undressed and into my pajamas. Luther hated when I wore them even if it was only a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. He said he preferred me naked. I told him I would think about it after we were mated. Luther helped me into bed and crawled in next to me.I laid on my side resting my face on Luther’s chest. This was my favorite spot when we slept. At first I tried sleeping on my side but I always moved towards him in the middle of the night so I stopped fighting it.
I asked him how his night was. He told me he hung out with Scott and Freya for a little while then had dinner with his parents. He took Diesel out for a run because he was being an ass about me being out on a date. I laughed at that. I told him what happened at dinner and how Aiden said my wolf made an appearance when the hostess flirted with Aiden in front of me. And how she called Aiden mate before she withdrew. Luther laughed so hard when I told him it looked like the hostess was going to pee herself he had tears in his eyes. He said it served her right for messing with another woman’s mate. I fell asleep breathing in Luther’s scent and listening to his heart beat. I swore I felt Diesel purr but I didn’t call attention to it. I was afraid if I did he wouldn’t do it again. I wanted to feel it as often as I could.
