How did she even know he was outside the door? She's still young and her wolf senses aren't that developed.
Maybe it's their bond? But that would mean that it's getting stronger.
"Hey, Princess," Alec murmurs, that deep, rugged voice curling aroundlike warm smoke.
"Hi!" Aspen waves her little hand in his face, giggling. "You came.”
"I did," he says.
She hugs him tightly. "I didn't want to sleep before you came."
"I'm here, my little Pixie." He plants a soft kiss on her cheek.

| reach out to catch her hand, silently pleading, but she dodges me.
"Goodnight," she grins, blowing a kiss to Aspen.

"Will you reada story?" Aspen beams at him.

"Princess"
"A princess story it is." He kisses her again. "But first-did you brush your teeth?"
"No"
He grins. "That won't do. How about you take care of that first, and then I'll read to you. Deal?"
Aspen nods so enthusiastically that | wince.
Alec sets her down, and she scampers off to the bathroom. When she's gone, he turns to me, slowly approaching
until he's standing beside the bed.
My breath catches as the bond pulses between us.
"You still owea training session," he says with a smirk.

I'm wishing he'd lean in and kiss me.

"I want to ask you something," he says quietly, suddenly serious.
He inhales deeply, as if bracing himself for battle, while | wait, holding my breath. "Will you go out with me?"
| blink at him, stunned. That... was not what | expected.
"W-what?" | stammer, my eyes wide.
"Will you go out with me?" he repeats, eyes hopeful. "Like... on a date."
"You're askingout?" | whisper. "Like a real date?"
"Yes," he chuckles. "A real one. Just us."

"Yes." The words fly out of my mouth before | can stop them.
Alec stares at me, stunned. "Did you just say yes?"
"I did." I smile. "I'll go on a date with you."
Before | can blink, he picksup and spinsaround.
