Alastair turned on the shower and stood under the cold water as he tried to calm his raging heart. Since the time Samantha had woken up and he had seen her naked and alluring body, he had been unable to remove the sight out of his mind. His blood was boiling in desire, and all he wanted was to charge over and have his way with his dear girl.
But he forced himself to calm down for he knew that was not what he actually wanted to do. Even though his heart desired her as much as his body did, he did not intend to do anything that Samantha was not willing. Already he had marked her without her consent and he did not wish to mate with her without having her heart and love completely.
Alastair gritted his teeth as he tried to suppress his desire. Even though it consumed a lot of his strength, he eventually pushed away Samantha's beguiling body out of his mind and his heart calmed down. He sighed softly and wiped the water that was running down his cheeks.
