Chapter 229 The Pleasure on Your Face

Lexi stood outside the door to her room, her heart beating wildly in her chest at what might await heron the other side of her door if Allen was in there.

She was so torn and conflicted about what had happened, yet also deliriously happy and the conflicting emotions were tearing her apart.

She groaned loudly and rested her forehead on the door as she sighed heavily. Why did everything have to be so complicated? Was it too much to ask for a quiet life? After a few deep breaths, she placed her hand on the door handle and pursed her lips. It was no good delaying the inevitable, it was probably best to get this over with quickly. Like ripping off a band-aid and dealing with the pain all in one go rather than prolonging the pain with seemingly endless anxiety. She pushed down gently and slowly opened the door, managing to not make a sound, peeking her head around the corner.

The room was in darkness and with a quick glance around the interior, she couldn’t see Allen anywhere inside.

She sighed in relief as she tiptoed inside and closed the door carefully, wincing at the slight click as the latch set into place.

Without wasting any time she made her way straight to the bathroom. She had to get the clothes off her and shower. Not only was she sweaty from wailing on the punchbag for such a long time, but she was also fully aware of Greyson’s scent that still clung to her.

But as she opened the door to the bathroom she froze.

Allen was slumped in the corner, right next to the shower door and he appeared to be fast asleep.

The reek of alcohol permeated the enclosed space and Lexi swore internally as she bit her nails nervously.

How the f**k was she supposed to get past him?

Very carefully she tiptoed into the room, not bothering to turn the lights on as she could still see perfectly fine in the darkness.

If she could just get into the shower and get the water running… she could strip her clothes off in there and not disturb him too much.

She bit her lip as she gingerly reached over him and slid the door open as quietly as she could, wincing again at the subtle squeak the door made as it slid open slowly on its tracks.

She froze and her heart nearly jumped out of her throat as Allen mumbled in his sleep and shifted slightly, seemingly settling into an even more uncomfortable-looking position against the now partially open door.

The issue now was that his body was blocking the door from moving any further. If she tried to slide it, the movement across Allen’s back would surely rouse him from his sleep and Lexi wanted to wait until she was at least free from Greyson’s scent before she even attempted that.

She knew that wolves were obscenely possessive with their mates, and she wanted to be able to have a rational conversation with him, without any distractions inflaming the situation.

She maneuvered herself through the small gap into the shower cubicle and let out a slow breath as she began peeling off her clothes and dumping them on the floor in front of her.

She took one last regretful glance at Allen before reaching for the shower and turning it on.

As the steaming water hit her aching body, she closed her eyes and sighed. The heat and pressure from the water as it hit her skin felt heavenly on her tense muscles.

She reached for the shower cream that sat on the shelf and began washing herself down as the subtle scent of shea butter and honey filled the air around her.

As she closed her eyes and began washing her hair, she was startled by the sudden sensation of a pair of hands suddenly landing on the skin of her back and tracing slowly, lovingly down her skin.

She froze and opened her mouth to protest, but a pair of lips covered hers almost instantly that tasted heavily of alcohol.

“Allen?” She murmured as she tried to clear her face of shampoo suds so that she could open her eyes.

“Keep them closed…” Allen replied as his fingers traced their way slowly across her skin, leaving a tingling trail around her waist and following the path his hands followed as they made their way to her breasts.

His lips made contact with the sensitive skin on her neck as his kisses trailed lower, over her collarbone, and down to the area where his fingers were currently working their magic.

She could feel the goosebumps erupt across her skin and the flutter of excitement in her stomach at his touch and instantly felt a pang of guilt hit her hard in the stomach at a time when she was least expecting it.

“Allen… wait…”

“I don’t want to wait…” he replied sullenly as his fingers found her n***”s and circled them torturously slowly before pinching each bud lightly and drawing a gasp from between Lexi’s lips. She fought to

clear the fog of desire from her mind and grabbed hold of his arms. “Allen, listen to me… I need to tell you something…” Lexi said, the panic in her chest rising as this situation was forcing her to talk about something that she had wanted to delay just a little while longer. “There’s a lot of things that you should have told meal ready Lexi,” he mumbled as he bent forward and closed his mouth around one of her n*****s, sucking it deftly into his mouth as he circled the sensitive bud with his tongue and grazed it with his teeth.

Her grip tightened on his arms as she felt the area between her legs begin to pulse with a need that she had thought was already sated for the night.

“Allen…” She tried again, her protests weaker this time as desire and lust began to takeover.

“Please… I need… I need to tell you something before… before we go any further…” she managed to force out between her tiny gasps for air as he caused shockwaves of excitement and pleasure to radiate through her body.

“I already know, Lexi.” He murmured into her breast as he nipped at her flesh, causing a loud moan to fall from her mouth and echo in the enclosed space, “I saw you with him… the pleasure on your face… I saw it all.”
