Chapter 120 – Bailey
Well, C pite a very different start to my day, and a very rushed preparation for work, I don’t think I had stopped smiling all day. In spite of the slight delay in me getting ready for work, thanks. to Asher and his “distractions”, shall we say, I amazingly still made it to work with minutes to spare, giving the excuse that I had slept through my alarm. But, it was so worth it, because he had made me feel so wanted. So good about myself. He made me feel almost whole again in a way I didn’t think was possible, not that I would ever admit that to him. He seemed to want me for being me.
He had seen me at some of my weaker moments, he had seen me without my make up, when my hair was in its natural curly state, and he still wanted me. He knew how I liked to read… in fact, on the many nights we had sat in the lounge watching TV, we talked about my studies, the books I enjoyed, and he never once judged me, or made a negative comment. He saw me as me, flaws and all, yet he still seemed to want me. It was the strangest feeling, yet the most amazing feeling… the most freeing feeling…
The day seemed to fly by, with thoughts of Asher on my mind, as well as because I looked forward to my sister coming. She knew what time I was due to finish work and had agreed to come around then. I hated disappointing Asher when he said he wanted us to spend the night together tonight. I would have loved nothing more, but I had already arranged this with my sister, and she needed my support. I needed to step up and be the big sister she needed right now. I knew how low Miles could

stoop. The pain he could cause, and I didn’t want it to cause my sister damage.
As I brought my class to a close for the day, and sent the children out one by one to their parents, I saw Asher waiting outside with the parents, making me smile. He was not doing much to hide the fact he was waiting for me. So much for trying to be discreet
Once all the children had left the classroom, Asher walked up to the side doorway of my classroom where the children had left, a big smile upon his face. Gone was the dark and moody Beta I had met, this was a completely different guy, of that there was no doubt… “That has to have been one of the longest days ever!” he grumbled.
And I giggled. “I don’t know, I think it went quite fast.” I told him, and he rolled his eyes.
“Evidently I did not do a good enough job this morning then!” he whispered as he moved closer and slipped his arms around me as we moved inside my classroom. “Or else you would have been struggling to think of much else, and would not be able to wait to see me again.”
I giggled again. “Oh, is that right?” I poked him lightly in the chest. “And is that what you plan to do to me, is it?”
“Too right!” he wiggled his eyebrows at me suggestively. “When I get the opportunity, of course.” He stuck his bottom lip out at me, pretending to sulk. Obviously referencing the fact he wasn’t able to spend time alone with me for a little while with my sister visiting.
“You are such a child!” I rolled my eyes. “What happened to

” do think the classroom may be a little dangerous, though your office could be fun.” I told him with a little wink of my own, thinking two could play at being bad… and his eyes lit up at my suggestion
“Goohh, Miss West, it seems, you definitely aren’t the sweet and innocent young thing you make yourself out to be. I like it!” he chuckled. “And I am sure I could find some time for a meeting in my office.” He wiggled his brows at me suggestively once more, causing me to giggle, just as the classroom door opened. Thankfully, this time we were only standing next to one another, and not actually touching so we only looked like we were chatting
“Bailey, have you. Oh, Beta Asher Nice to see you again.” Alli said calmly, her voice a little more formal than usual “More
business to discuss with Bailey, assume?”
I honestly think she had begun to suspect something was going on between the two of us. But, Asher seemed reluctant to talk about this with her, and after we had spoken about it, I could
nderstand why. It was a difficult subject to broach. And, I didn’t vant to be the one that pressured him to do so,
I smiled at Alli. “Not quite. He had come to discuss my sister arriving. She is struggling back at home at the moment. Issues of the heart, unfortunately. So, she needed time away, Beta Asher had come to confirm her arrival with me.” I lied, but Alli didn’t need to know that, after all, Morgan would be arriving soon enough, so that much was true, and Alli would likely see her with me in pack.
“Aww, I am sorry to hear she is struggling. Young love is never an easy thing to control. Well, love in general, I suppose.” and her eyes wander to Asher, and I wonder if she was implying deeper meaning with her words as she continues. “I am sure some time away with her big sister will help. It is kind of you to allow her to come and stay Beta.” She nodded at Asher, and he simply smiled.
“You two seem to get along quite well.” Alli said after a few moments of silence, and I smiled awkwardly.
“We bump into one another sometimes in the packhouse, so we do chat sometimes.” I dismissed her implications with what I hoped would indicate nothing was going on.
Alli nodded, yet her eyes were on Asher, who was looking uninterested out of the window. Evidently he was choosing not to get involved in the conversation today. Maybe my reaction the other day had made him a little more wary…

“It is always nice to make friends where you are staying. Anyway, I shall leave you both to. I have just come in to see if you have seen the closure dates for next week, Bailey?” Alli asked, and I nodded, a notification had been sent out to the pack school app they had set up. Not to mention, I received emails regarding my working hours. The closures were to do with the party for the Alpha and Luna’s new baby.
Good stuff,” Alli walked back out of the classroom, with a wave amy direction, before Asher looked at me.
“Now who was making excuses for me being here?” He pouted at me.
“I assumed you would rather me do that, than explain why.” I smiled, and he grinned.
“So, can I walk you home, before your sister arrives?” he offered me his hand, an almost pleading look upon his face. How could I resist?
There were still things I needed to do in the classroom, but I could do them tomorrow morning, because it wasn’t like I would be staying in bed to spend time with Asher. So, I took his hand, Akira purring at such a simple action, both of us happy to spend a little more time with him alone. “Come on then.”
And as we walked out of the side door of my classroom, into the sunshine, I felt a sense of contentment pass over me as we began to walk down the path toward the main area of the pack. But, as we did, Asher tugged me into the trees sitting alongside the path. His hands slipped around my waist the moment we were in the shade of the trees. He moved me gently to lean my back against a tree, before his lips were softy and tantalizingly teasing at my neck.

“Mmmm” he murmured against my skin, his warm breath
sending goosebumps across my body. “Do you realize just how much I have missed you today?”
I giggled. “No. I’d say perhaps you could show me, but seeing as we are outside, that may be a bad idea.”
He chuckle continuing
before he nipped lightly at my neck, before
kiss me, his lips and tongue teasing at the skin of my neck. “Oohh you are bad… so so bad.” His lips found mine, as his tongue parted my lips, to begin swirling in an enticing way that made me desperately want more…
I reached up to run my hand through his thick, dark hair, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. As he gripped my butt. His breath quickened, as he pulled away. “What time is your sister arriving?”
“Soon.” I admitted reluctantly, knowing instantly he was hoping to go to one of our rooms to continue what had begun this morning, and where this could so easily continue to…
He sighed, running his hand through his own hair in frustration. “D**t.” He winked. “Best we stop then, while we still can.”
I smiled up at him almost adoringly. This guy had to be the most patient one I had met. “Sorry.” I stepped up on my tiptoes to reach up and softly kiss his cheek.
His hand h**d under my chin as I moved away, turning my face to his, so his lips softly met mine, only briefly, but so tenderly, it made my heart flutter. “Don’t apologize. I know it will be worth waiting for, beautiful.”
