Chapter 655
I woke up the next morning alone in Gavin’s bed. I knew he had a lot to do today, especially with the rogue threat, but from the morning light cascading through the closed curtains, it was early. I honestly thought maybe he’d want to see me this morning. Being alone, I felt a little abandoned, and it gave me an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I slipped out of bed, noticing my clothes scattered on the ground. I was completely naked and suddenly felt a bit vulnerable. I’ve never felt this out of place before, and my heart hammered in my chest. I didn’t have any of my clothes in this room, and I didn’t exactly want to sneak into the next wing of the mansion and grab clothes from my former bedroom, clothes that I left here in case I ever spent the night again.
I thought about putting my clothes, from last night, back on, but something stopped me. I glanced at the closet across the room, and heat formed across my cheeks. Gavin’s closet. It was filled with his clothes, and my wolf basked in the thought of being covered in his scent.
I padded over to the closet, my bare feet hitting the floor softly as I made my way across the room. I opened his walk-in closet door and glanced at all the clothes he had neatly hung up. On one side was all his formal clothing, and on the other side was more casual attire. I glanced around and saw that there were also dressers and mirrors in his closet. It was like a mini store, and it made me smile. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the inside of his closet before. It was kind of nice; there was a small chandelier hanging on the ceiling that provided a glittering light, and all the clothes displays also had their own light as well.
He took his clothing very seriously.
I walked further into his closet and made my way to one of his dressers. The one stood in front of had a mirror, and I got a good look at myself) I gawked at my face; I barely recognized myself. My cheeks were flushed still from last night, and my eyes seemed almost brighter. There was an essence about me that almost glowed with radiance, and I wondered if it was the pregnancy glow that I’ve been hearing so much about. This was the first time I’ve actually seen it myself, and now I see why others have been telling me that I’m glowing.
My lips were plumper from Gavin’s deep kisses, and my breasts were almost bigger as well. I stared down at my rounded hips. I hadn’t popped yet because I was only a couple of months pregnant, but I wasn’t exactly thin either. Not like used to be. The body I worked so hard to maintain over the years was rounding and becoming softer. I wondered if I would still make a good gamma with a body like this, and I suddenly felt a bit discouraged.
My eyes scanned my body a bit further until they landed on the mark on my neck: Gavin’s mark completely covered the spot that Ethan’s mark once sat. It was bright, fresh, and beautiful. I reached my fingers up to it and touched it delicately. It didn’t hurt, but it was a bit tender. A warmth radiated around me, and I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at the corner of my lips.
I pulled my eyes away from the mirror and opened one of the drawers. It was Gavin’s underwear and socks. I quickly shut the drawer, feeling as if I had just invaded his privacy. Clearing my throat, I opened another drawer, relieved to see some T-shirts.
Gavin towered over me, so I knew whatever I picked out would be huge. I pulled out a T-shirt, and immediately my body reacted to it. It smelled just like him. I inhaled deeply, allowing a moment of complete bliss to wash over me. I couldn’t help the small growl that escaped my throat as my wolf got her fill of the scent as well.
