Reese could feel the man's breath and his thunderous heartbeat, but she said nothing.
She had a sudden inkling that the reason this man was acting strangely was due to her.
"I thought I was too late!"
Reese could hear some mumbling beside her ears, and it had a tone of annoyance.
"Thank goodness you're smart, you wretched girl."
Reese couldn't help but laugh. What was wrong with this werebeast? Couldn't he say anything nice?
However, she was magnanimous and decided not to argue with him, since he had been so worried for her.
She raised her hand and gently patted King's back.
He nestled into her shoulders like a docile cat, taking in her scent. He felt reassured by her scent.
Seeing that the man did not start groping her, Reese knew that he was really shaken, so she placed her hand on the back of his neck and stroked gently to comfort King.
Her strokes felt soft and warm.
