CHAPTER 10

He’d figured this would come up at some point. He just hadn’t expected it so soon. This was the first time she’d gone out with him, even if it hadn’t been proposed as a date, it was damn close to it.

“I love women, the way they smell, the way they look, every shape and size. I like sex; okay, I love sex. I’ve always been upfront with the woman I’m with. It’s a no-strings, one-night affair. A way to mutually satisfy our needs, and before you ask, no, I haven’t slept with every one of the women I was with. I love their company, so I chose to spend my free time with as many of them as I could. Sometimes we’d go out to dinner, sometimes we’d just hang out and talk. Some of them I slept with.”

Keir sighed and tried to come up with the words to explain. “My father settled and married a woman that wasn’t his mate. I didn’t agree, but I understood it. Not everyone finds their mate. I don’t want to settle for less than my full match, the one person made for me. At the same time, I didn’t want to give up spending time and, yes, sleeping with women until I found her. I made sure that no matter what, they knew they weren’t going to keep me, that it was temporary.”

Ally sighed. “I think I get it, Keir. It’s okay. I just wish they would stop attacking. I’ve done nothing wrong and for them to confront me and warn me off you is ridiculous. I don’t own you, I didn’t make you turn them down.”

Keir cursed and gripped the steering wheel tighter. “I know, I’m sorry, I didn’t want that to happen either.”

“It’s fine, just a bit annoying. I’m not a threat to them. They need to understand that,” Ally continued as if he hadn’t said anything.

Keir gritted his teeth to keep himself from blurting out the truth. She was his mate, his one and only. The one he never thought he’d find, but secretly hoped he would. “We’re here. You ready for this?” Keir said instead.

He climbed out of the car and raced to her side. He took a deep breath and pulled open the door, offered his hand, and smiled as she stepped out to stand beside him.

“Thank you, kind sir,” she said with twinkling eyes.

“My pleasure, my lady. Your pleasure will always be of the utmost concern for me.” He winked as he reached in the backseat and pulled out the basket of pastries. “You ready?”

Keir smiled when she nodded, he placed his hand on the small of her back and began the trek to the front door. He felt her shiver as he brushed his hand up and down her back in an encouraging gesture. The feeling was mutual, a simple touch and he was shaking like a leaf.

The front door opened as they approached and Keir smiled to see Josie standing there waiting for them.

“About time you guys got here.
