***[POV: Heart-Aching Alpha]***
The question I'd asked had been simple. I thought. Why did you stop last night?
Not the things she was doing to me. Though the memory of it kept trying to surface in my thoughts Ever since we woke up.
Even while I was trying to stay focused on her answer. It had been the most 'generous' night she had ever given me. Something to savor for the next few days.
What I'd meant was the other stopping. The moment where she came back after feeding Asha. When she curled on top of me and I told her how I felt again.
Her teeth were on my collarbone after she asked me to repeat it. And I literally felt something pull between us straining. Different from how it felt to be drawn to her.
For a brief moment I felt how much she was drawn to me.
And watched her choose the restraint over the completion. Again.
So I'd asked, after we both cleaned and got dressed. After I'd fed her son. Without an edge to the question, just a feeling of curiosity.
