Aven's POV
I watched her breath get heavier. I really wanted to take her. I was still a little bit upset that Kaelric had to have her first.
"The things I'm going to do to you," I whispered to her ear, causing a shiver to run down her spine.
I tried to unbutton her shirt, but she held my hands, looking nervous and uncertain.
I've never seen her appear so uncertain before, so I stopped for a while.
"Are you okay?" I asked, my hand caressing her soft, beautiful face.
She nodded, "Yes, I'm fine, I'm just…"
"Shhh…it's just the both of us here, Ari, you are going to be fine," I reassured, smiling down at her.
Ari must have gone through a series of heartbreaks that she even doubts that her mates are for her, even till eternity. She appears almost too defensive and avoidant all the time.
She let out a sigh of relief as I continued to play with her buttons until I had pulled them out, revealing a set of breasts slightly covered with breast cups.
