Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0177

I awoke the next morning to the sound of an alarm, the most horrendous sound I think I have heard, and it was most definitely not my alarm for waking me up. I shot up in bed, only realizing then the warmth encompassing me had been Bailey snuggled into my chest, and now she was flung across the bed.

"Well, if my alarm didn't wake me, you sure as hell did!" she grumbled sleepily.

I pulled her back to me, feeling terrible. "Aww, I'm sorry!" I showered kisses across her face and her head, as she pulled away to switch off the incessant wailing of the alarm. Why the hell she would pick that noise to wake her up I have no clue. That sound was horrendous!

Once again, I pulled Bailey back to me, missing the warmth of her body close to mine. I cannot believe I had slept through until the morning again! I don't think I have even stirred once after she had snuggled into my arms. No bad dreams... nothing. Just a comfortable contentness was all I had felt. All night. Happiness, I think. Something I don't think I have felt properly in a long time... This girl is definitely a key to a better night's sleep for me, of that there was no doubt. The thing is, I don't want to get out of bed now...

“Come on, I need to get up for work." Bailey said, softly kissing me on the cheek.

"Aww, you have to be kidding, right?" I almost whined. How pathetic do I sound?!

'Very. If it helps.' Zion tells me, with a chuckle. 'But, I don't want them to go either. Cuff her to the bed, tell her she is ordered to stay here for the day!' he is chuckling more deeply now. Kinky little fucker...

Though he may have a point. "Well, as Beta, I am saying you have the day off." I tell her with a grin, already thinking of the fun we could have with a full day, and even night in bed. But Bailey simply shakes her head at me.

"Don't think you are trying that on me. I have to go to work, as I am sure do you. So get your butt right up and out of my bed." She said to me with a strict expression.

I smiled again. "What are you going to do if I don't?" I questioned, laying myself back down comfortably onto the pillow, my arms rested below my head.

Bailey looked down on me with a slow smile spreading across her face. "Absolutely nothing." She slipped along the edge of the bed, climbing off the edge of the bed, moving back towards me, giving me hope she had changed her mind, but instead she was softly placing a brief kiss onto my lips, making my heart pound crazily. "I am going for a shower, because I have work to get ready for. If you plan to stay in bed all day, by all means, make yourself comfortable." She winked at me, before turning away and walking toward her bathroom, her small shorts and tank top she wore to bed enhancing the curves of her perfect body as she sashayed toward the bathroom.

I felt my body reacting to the sight of her. My mind worked overtime with the things I wanted to do to her... why was I so terrified about taking that next step? Terrified to disappoint her, I think...

'You need a shower, right?' Zion's voice interrupted my anxieties, as the bathroom door closed after Bailey playfully blew me a kiss. 'So, go get one... with her. The ploy to stay in bed didn't work...'

Hmmm, that did sound good... I did need a shower, though I could easily return to my own place for a shower... but that did not sound half as appealing as a shower with Bailey...

I quickly swung myself out of bed, my heart now feeling like it was about to beat right out of my chest. I walked over to the closed door of the en-suite bathroom, where I could hear the shower running. I gently eased the handle down a little, so unsure of myself now... why could I not have the confidence of my own fucking wolf?!

No, I would do the decent thing, I would at least let her know I was thinking of going in there...

"Bailey?" I called into the room nervously, already filling with steam from the hot water of the shower.

Asher..." her voice teased. "What's up? Are you missing me now too? So you thought you'd come and join me in the shower?” her voice held a teasing tone to it, which I couldn't help but smile at, but I had noted she didn't seem absolutely freaked out at the prospect of showering with me, so, maybe I could take that as a good thing...

"What are you going to do if I say yes?" I pushed myself to say quickly, cringing internally at how bad I must sound... I am so not good at all of this!

I heard Bailey giggle a little through the small gap in the door, before she replied. "I'd say you were getting brave. But, you best be quick then, as I don't have all morning!"

'Go! Go! Go!' Zion joked, making me chuckle. He was such a dick at times.

But, I wasted no time this time in opening the bathroom door, filled with steam from the shower, and stripping off my shorts, before moving toward the shower. Bailey was standing with her back to me, underneath the stream of the water, her naked body on full display now... tall yet curvy, perfect as perfect could be... I thought my heart had been racing fast earlier, yet the speed it was at now was so much faster...

I felt suddenly conscious of myself being naked too. Here is me, a fully grown man, terrified of allowing a woman close to me. After the only woman I had been close to had been taken from me... I took a deep breath in an attempt to calm myself, moving myself closer and slipped my arms around Bailey's waist allowing my head to lean around to softly place a kiss upon her cheek. The warmth of the shower and her body instantly soothed me. The contact with her body instantly caused my body to react. I found myself holding back a moan as she pushed herself back into my embrace, her pert butt pressed up against my hardening length... while I allowed my eyes to drift down across the perfect view of her naked body...
