Chapter Nineteen
Aimon stopped in a small clearing not far from the keep, waiting for Kathryn to join him. He did not know if she would take his advice to heart, but he hoped she would at least consider it. She stopped in front of him, her arms still folded across her chest and her expression shuttered. With a huff of discontent, she closed her eyes and raised her nose, sniffing the air.
âOpen your eyes, Kathryn. We are doing something different today.â
Her eyes snapped open and stared at him, eager.
He could not help but smile. âYes, Kathryn. I am taking you for a run today.â
Her mouth dropped open, her arms uncrossed and she took a step toward him. She pulled herself up short and clenched her hands by her side. Had she been about to throw her arms around him? Press her soft body against him?
He nearly groaned. You are but her teacher, Aimon, nothing more. And that role was temporary at best, bestowed on him because he had the good fortune to be the first to discover her. Once she became part of the pack, as the only available female werewolf, she could have her pick of instructors, of werewolves, to continue her education. As the least experienced, certainly not the strongest, chances were, she would not choose him. It was for the best she did not thank him with an embrace.
âBefore we get started, there are a few things you must understand. This will be more difficult than our exercises in the training room. Shifting out here is different. The pull of the forest is strong, and there are no locked doors to contain you. I cannot turn my back on you this time.â
Her eyes widened, her mouth forming an unspoken âohâ. The uplift of her chin and the set of her jaw, all signs he had come to recognize over the last few days, told him nothing would deter her. She wanted this and she would face it head on. Such courage, such determination. Her inner fire called to his wolf. He shook his head, brushing aside his primal impulses. Focus on her training, nothing more.
âI will shift first, so I am ready should you need me. I will avert my gaze,â he hastened to add. âYour modesty is safe with me, I promise you.â
A frown pinched at her brow. âCan you help with my buttons again?â
Lâenfer. These infernal buttons. He had asked Anne to dress Kathryn in garments without buttons or laces. Ones she could remove without his help. And for the past few days, she had. Why not today? Of all the daysâ¦
Her hazel eyes implored him. He swallowed the hard lump in his throat, conscious of the hardening further down his body, in his groin.
âVery well.â
She removed her over-dress and turned her back to him, waiting. Fingers fumbling her buttons undone, he hastened away from her lest he be tempted to touch, as she slipped the garment off her shoulders. He looked away, but not before he glimpsed a slim waist and the curve of her hip outlined beneath her thin chemise.
