“You embarrass easily,” I tease, noticing her discomfort. “Does having a man pressed between your legs make you that
uncomfortable?” My tone is light and playful, but it’s clear I’ve touched a nerve.
She stiffens, her gaze sharpening. “It does when I’m a virgin!” she snaps, her words slicing through the playful air between
- us.
I pause, taken aback by her words, I knew she was a virgin, I can smell it but now it has me wondering how pure she is. Suddenly, instinct kicks in, and I lower my head, inhaling subtly, trying to scent any trace of another male. Confusion lines my face as I process her words. “You mean… never had sex or never done anything with a man at all?” I press, needing to understand. Surely she has done things with this mate she is trying to hide from me?
“Just get off me, and stop sniffing me, it’s embarrassing enough!” she demands, her voice a mix of frustration and embarrassment.
“Answer the question,” I insist, not moving, my gaze fixed on hers.
“Yes, I’m a virgin. I’ve done… things.” she retorts, her voice rising slightly.
“Done what exactly?” I ask her and her face heats even more. Her mouth opens and closes like this is extremely
embarrassing for her to even speak of, which is crazy given

she is an adult. But it also tells me she is lying.
“I’ve touched one…” she blurts.
“Just then?” I ask, and she is too mortified to answer for a second.

“No, I touched my ex’s, or more, he made me touch it.” She pulls a face.
I instantly regret my tone. “I know it’s stupid that I was saving it like it is something precious,” she says softly, apologizing.
“I like that you’re a virgin, Bree. It’s… it’s cute, and very traditional.” I try not to laugh, she glances away and I know she doesn’t believe me. Leaning closer, I trail my nose across her neck.
“It makes you more enticing,” I whisper. “So you saved yourself for your mate?” I murmur.
She scoffs, looking away. “It doesn’t matter now anyway. I don’t want my mate. I saved myself for nothing.”
Her words sting with a pain I hadn’t anticipated. I remember the agony I sensed from her last night. “Did he reject you?” I ask gently, piecing together her troubled expression.
She chews her lip, shaking her head slowly. “No.”
The implications of her words weigh heavily between us. “It explains why you’re in pain if he’s with someone else and the bond isn’t broken. Why didn’t you reject each other?” I probe further, trying to understand her situation.
“It doesn’t matter,” she mutters, clearly agitated, attempting to wriggle out from under me.

My hands grip her gently but firmly, trying to reassure her that I’m not going to let her go just yet. “Why are you evading?” I ask though it’s evident she’s in physical discomfort, likely from the unresolved bond.
“It’s not your business,” Bree snaps, her tone bitter. Despite her resistance, her eyes betray the truth of her suffering.
I hold her gaze, my voice firm. “It is my business if you kept me up all night because you were in pain.” I let the words sink in. “I had to use my calling to settle you down.”
“You what?” she seems appalled. As she should be but I had no ill intentions, had I she wouldn’t still be a virgin. Had I wanted to I could have easily used the calling and taken advantage of her but I didn’t and never would.
“I didn’t do anything and neither did you. But it calmed you down enough I could sleep.” I admit.
Her cheeks flush with embarrassment at the mention of my powers. “I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight,” she murmurs like she thinks I’m upset about her keeping me awake, but that is the least of my concerns.
I soften my tone, trying to reassure her. “It’s not your fault, Bree. You’re not sleeping on the sofa, I was just wondering, that is all.” I tell her and she sighs deeply. I tilt my head to the side watching her. “But there’s something you can do.” Her curiosity piques, and she looks at me then asks, “About my bond?“I nod.
“Like what?” she asks and I smile. Without another word, I lean down and kiss her. It’s a soft, questioning kiss that gives her the chance to pull away. She doesn’t.

As we break apart, the tension lingers, but I don’t pull away. “Give him a dose of his own medicine,” I whisper against her lips. I see the hurt flick in her eyes before seeing something else, revenge, as her lips twitch. I smile, pressing my lips back against hers. This time, she kisses me back.
