The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel - Chapter 63

---- Chapter 63 [Third-Person's POV] Alexander watched the unsettling emotions fall over Evelyn as she stared back at him-mainly at the tall pair of heels he'd been holding up for her. Jesus Christ. One would have thought that he was holding her at gunpoint yet again. Alexander had always been somewhat aware of Evelyn's aversion for not wanting to wear more expensive clothing brands and jewelry, but the expression she wore on her face was telling him something more. She's afraid...But why?

Did she think so little of herself that she would proceed to trip over her own feet if she wore the heels? Surely, she had more control and stability of herself than that. For someone so beautiful, he was astounded that she had such little confidence in herself. Evelyn appeared more nervous and freaked out now than she did when she was only draped in a towel before. Good God. The image of her freshly showered, still soaking wet, and wearing nothing but a thin cloth towel set his blood ablaze.

---- As his eyes traveled along the various valleys and curves of her body, he felt the immediate rush of blood race toward his cock. He clenched his hand into fists for fear of acting rashly. Alexander was no saint. Ever since their moment in the bathtub, where he got the chance to see most of Evelyn fully bare, he hadn't been able to get the vision of her stunning figure out of his head. He'd caught himself on numerous occasions arguing with himself over the matter. Did it mean that he liked her? Or merely that he found her conventionally attractive?

It had been quite a while since he was last physically involved with anyone. Perhaps it was just his body screaming out for what it missed and what it yearned for. Or, maybe, Alexander was starting to see his Luna as more than just another figure living in his ancestral home. A lot of their conversation from the night before stuck with him. Since he'd been sleeping so little, it gave him a lot of time to reflect on what they discussed. "Alexander, | understand that you're cautious, alright?

You have every right to be wary at times, but the only way to overcome that feeling is to get to know that person," Evelyn had said. The pained, sympathetic look in her eyes made his stomach ---- clench. "ve been alone for a very long time," he told her. "Trusting people and being naturally open aren't things that tend to come easy for me." "Well, then it looks like we both need to work on ourselves." Evelyn was sticking true to her own words by going through with the etiquette which he knew had not been easy for her.
