His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 10: Mina
Moana

Smiling to myself with closed eyes, I nuzzled deeper into the warm embrace of my bedmate, inhaling the smell of his chest.

Wait…

My eyes shot open, as did his at the same time. We stared at one another in disbelief for several long seconds before I felt my face get hot. There was no denying the chemistry in the air between us as we gazed at each other beneath the warmth of the sheets, but I knew deep down that this was wrong. Edrick was my boss, and I had signed a contract to not get romantically involved!

Blushing, I quickly pulled away and climbed out of the bed. I noticed that the cardigan I had worn to bed the night before now lay on the floor, so I picked it up and quickly put it on to cover myself while Edrick sat up slowly in bed.

“I’m sorry,” I said, my back turned to him as I buttoned my cardigan. “Maybe this isn’t the best idea.”

“Perhaps,” he replied. His voice was low and gravelly from sleep, and it admittedly made me feel even more attracted to him. “But I have to say that I haven’t slept that well in ages. Excluding our night in the hotel, of course.”

As I finished buttoning up my cardigan, I felt my face flush an even deeper shade of red. No response came to mind, so without a word, I quietly slipped out of Edrick’s room and hoped that no one would see me.

Unfortunately, that wish did not come true as I almost immediately bumped into Ella, who was standing outside of her father’s room.

“Oh! Good morning, Ella,” I said, trying to act nonchalant as I smiled at the little girl.

As Selina informed me, Ella had to go to these training sessions every week along with other werewolf children to learn how to use their abilities, control their wolves, and to get the chance to shift freely in a safe space.
