He had his hands under my shirt, gently reaching for my breasts. There were moments when I felt like I might freak out or repeat what I did in Emmet's office the other day—push Kaye away and run out on him.
But his tender kisses on my lips eased my nerves, making me feel more comfortable with him. Yet, a lingering fear remained in the back of my mind.
What if some Alphas arrived and tried to touch me? Would Kaye run away like Altan did?
Would I be left on my own?
Even though I knew Kaye was far more powerful than Altan in both strength and presence, I couldn't shake the fear that he might not step up for me. What if he was too afraid of being known as romantically associated with me?
