I go to my room and look around. I’m pretty sure I know what Christian is going to say to me. He doesn’t seem to realize that I know exactly what I’m doing when I tease him. But I’m not stupid enough to do anything that would risk him losing this position. First, I have entirely too much respect for the man. He’s been great for not only Shane and I, but also this pack. He’s figured out that my parents were murdered and he knows that money is missing. I’m not sure many people could have done what he’s done in the short time he’s been here and I’m not willing to risk the Council giving us someone else because they think Christian can’t be appropriate.
Second, I want Chrisitan. I want him like I’ve never wanted any man in my life. Maybe it is the mate bond, and if it is, then I’m one incredibly lucky woman. But even if it’s not, I’m not going to do anything to risk him leaving and possibly never seeing him again. That’s not happening.
So, I will be the perfect little angel while the Council is here. But they aren’t here right now. They aren’t here tonight, and I want more. I want Christian’s deep, passionate kisses. I want his, warm, strong hands wrapped around me so I feel safe and protected. Even if I wanted to, I know we can’t have sex. We’d smell like each other tomorrow and that‘ s too risky. But I want him to chase away my pain. I want him to make me feel good and happy again in the way that only Christian can.
I go to my closet, then look in my dresser. I have no sexy sleepwear, nothing like what I’ve/read about in my books. I like my cotton sleepshirt and short sets. But I do have what I consider a sexy bra and panty set. It’s white, but it’s lace, and the panties are thongs.

I put them on and look at myself in the mirror. I brush out my long hair, leaving it down and soft. Then I brush my teeth and put on my bathrobe, before making my way to Christian’s room.
I knock first, just in case he’s already back. When I get no response, I open the door, immediately consumed by his clean, foresty scent. I can feel my eyes roll back in my head and I let my head fall back as my body responds to his scent. I have to clench my fists against the desire to go roll in his bed and cover myself in his scent. I could probably orgasm just because his room smells so good.
Once I’ve gotten my extreme arousal under control, I look around the room. I see where he’s set up his bourbon and glasses and I pour each of us one. He has some ice in a small refrigerator, so I add ice to my glass, leaving his alone since I’m not sure how he takes his.
I begin to casually look around his room, seeing how he set it up. His room is very much like the man himself, organized and neatly put together. There’s a picture of his family on the bedside stand and a book that looks like it came from the Academy about finances. On the dresser, there’s a picture of what looks like his graduating class at the Academy. Christian is wearing his necklace with the number one proudly displayed. Around him, are the other four individuals who ranked top in their class.
