After such draining meeting with the merchants, the only thing that Cane wanted was to go back to his mate and slept peacefully next to her. He wanted to bury his face in her hair and breathed in her scent.
His heart was in the right place the moment he opened the door and found her sleeping peacefully, while Aliana sat on the chair, guarding her.
"Alpha," Aliana greeted him, she immediately stood up and stretched her body. With Cane was here, her night duty would end and she could go back to her room and sleep.
"Did she eat her dinner?" Cane asked, as he approached Iris and stared at her sleeping face. If there was one word that could describe her right now, it must be serenity.
"Yes, but not much, she was very sleepy and tired." Aliana gave Cane a meaningful look with a smirk on the corner of her lips, but he didn’t dare to bring up about the book. She might be cheeky with Iris and her brother was Cane’s beta, but she held the utmost respect for this alpha.
"Hm." Cane nodded. "You can leave."
Aliana didn’t need to be told twice, she immediately rushed out of the room once Cane leaned over and kissed his mate’s lips gently. It was almost very scary to see how gentle the alpha was, because she thought, she would never see this side of him again, especially when there was nothing change with the way Cane acted whenever Iris was not around, he was still that cold and collected person, which could make you trembled with only a glare from him.
Once it was only the two of them, Cane undressed and cleaned himself before he came to bed and sleep peacefully next to Iris.
Yet, his sleep was not as peaceful as he thought it would be, because a few hours later, he was woken up with Iris kissing his lips.
His mate was half awake when he found her nibbling on his lips. She didn’t seem to realize what she was doing, but when slightly pushed her away, she let out protest noises. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Iris?" Cane caressed her back and smoothened her tangled hair, while he let her did whatever she wanted with him. It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she aimed and what she really wanted from him, because it was as clear as day, just like how clear those merchants wanted to fool around with him, that his mate wanted to be intimated with him.
They had done it this afternoon and Iris clearly still not yet recovered fully from it, but here she was, wanted another round of it, as she tried her sloppy attempt to get under his pants.
"Are you in heat?" Cane asked softly against her lips, but she didn’t answer that, she bit his lips when he didn’t reciprocate her kiss.
Heat for shifter would come in random time, sometime, it only happened once, therefore, it was hard to predict when your mate would go through a heat, it even more unpredictable when your mate was not a shifter.
Cane indeed needed his sleep, but he wouldn’t turn down this pleasant surprise, though he was still unsure how to proceed it when Iris didn’t seem to be fully conscious.
"Iris," Cane called her name again to get her attention, but she had slid down her hand under his pants and touched him there, driving him crazy with her bold action.
That was it. There was no way Cane could sleep peacefully when she freely touched him like this and now, she broke the kiss, but she climbed on top of him and straddled him. Her blue eyes looked so misty under the light of the pale moon in the night sky and her auburn hair looked slightly darker.
