Chapter 22
Caleb almost turned around and went back to the room at least three times before he reached the elevator. He wanted to spend every free second with Angel, but he was worried about crowding her and scaring her away again. So, as much as he wanted to go back to their hotel room, strip her naked, and spend the rest of the evening fucking her until she couldnât walk straight, he stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the lobby. The shiny metal doors closed slowly, and with a jolt the elevator began to descend. Caleb reached the lobby and took a look around. He saw several Alphas he should probably talk to while they were here, but he decided he needed some time to himself before he dove back into work. He headed to the bar, got a beer, and parked himself in a booth near the back, where he was less likely to be disturbed.
He wasnât sure if having sex with Angel had made him more or less confused about his feelings towards her. Before, thereâd always been this nagging doubt in his mind that his obsession with her was only because sheâd essentially turned him down. Caleb could admit to himself that he had a bit of an ego - he was an Alpha male, after all - and sometimes that ego made him do stupid things. But if that had been the case, he would have slept with her once, rocked her world, and felt perfectly fine just walking away. At this point, though, Caleb didnât want to walk away. Angel suited him so damn well - both inside and outside the bedroom. She was strong in both body and mind, she protected those she cared for, even to the point of risking her own life, and she was a demon in the sack. Caleb hadnât enjoyed himself so much with a woman ever before, and he had no doubt in his mind she felt the same way.
The question, then, was why he couldnât figure out if she was his Mate or not. Heâd never had a Mate before, but from what heâd heard from others, when a wolf met his or her Mate, there wasnât any uncertainty. Hell, heâd heard of wolves that had met and Mated without even knowing each otherâs names. Before heâd left for the conference, Caleb had spoken to Sara about his confusion. Females seemed to discuss these kinds of things a little more freely than males, so heâd been hoping she might have something helpful to tell him.
âI knew the first time I met Wyatt, he was my Mate,â Sara had told him. âBut I know lots of people who were friends or acquaintances with someone for months, or even years, before they realized they were their Mate. I think sometimes one or both people arenât quite ready to be Mated yet, which is why it sometimes takes a while for people to figure it out.â
Saraâs words
