Hi! My book just got signed! I will try to write at least twice a week, because I am currently writing another story on goodnovel as well. Let me know what you think. I read every comment and try to reply when I can.
Izzy’s povOrion left soon after, and I felt all giddy thinking about the kiss. He liked me! And he wanted to go on a date with me. I knew Orion was avoiding me, and I thought it was because of the way I spoke to him. I had tried talking to him during dinner, but Erin was always there, and even when asked a direct question, Orion barely spoke.I wanted to go back to how it was those first two days. It was silly, I know, because I barely knew Orion. But he was someone who made me feel safe, and for some reason, I felt like I knew him my whole life. Without actually knowing anything about him. I laughed to myself; it was crazy to fall for someone like Orion. One, I barely knew him, and what I did know were reasons not to date him. I mean, it’s a pretty red flag hearing someone spent time in prison for beating up his foster father. And then the mental hospital? What would it mean to have a relationship with someone who has been mentally unstable in the past? He clearly still had moments w
Izzy’s pov"That customer, Tom, can be a bit handsy, but he tips very well." Luke said, pointing to an older gentleman sitting at one of the tables by himself.I wasn’t sure if he was telling me to warn me or just to accept it because of the tip. After working here for a few weeks, it was obvious that Luke ran his business very differently from Erin's.Erin’s motel staff was like her family; she was kind to everyone and really showed that she cared. But Luke ran a business, and although he wasn’t a bad guy, he didn’t really care how any of his staff were doing. He wasn’t asking if you had a good day, like Erin did every time a cleaning lady or someone from the kitchen came over.While I wasn’t exactly looking forward to handling this customer, I decided to suck it up and do my job. In thirty minutes, Orion would be picking me up from work, and we’d go on a date.A date!Although I knew it couldn’t last, that didn’t make me less nervous and excited. Goddess, I had fallen for this man qu
Orion’s povThis date has been perfect so far. So perfect that we lost track of time and missed the movie. Izzy suggested watching a movie in her room, and despite the obvious temptation it would be for me, I said yes.I wanted to touch Izzy all the time, wanting to kiss her and more, but we were going slow. Mind over matter, right? She went through a lot, and I was pretty sure she was still a virgin, so rushing things was a bad idea.We packed up the blanket and cutlery, and I drove us back to the motel. My hand was resting on Izzy’s leg, making circles with my fingers. For a moment, Izzy looked sad, and I quickly moved my hand."Are you okay?""He did that too…. He put his hand on my leg while we were driving. But when you do it, it feels so different. I am trying not to think about that day, but my mind keeps going back to it." Izzy replied, fidgeting with her hands."I know you’ve said you don’t want to talk about it, but maybe you should. Not necessarily with me, but with someone.
Izzy’s povI woke up, not remembering when I fell asleep. It must have been halfway through the movie. Despite liking the movie, Orion’s scent and his arms around me made me a bit too relaxed.Orion! His arms were still around me. He fell asleep here!I turned my head and saw Orion look so peaceful. I can’t imagine anyone being scared of this man. He looked so cute, and he even snorted a little. Goddess, he was adorable. How lucky was I to have someone like him like me?Or unlucky, since I couldn’t keep him. I laughed to myself. Keep him. As if he were a stuffed animal that I could keep in my bed forever."You have such a beautiful smile; I wouldn’t mind waking up to that every day." Orion said, stretching his arms before taking me in his arms and giving me a tight hug."Goodmorning, Orion." I said, hugging him back and feeling slightly embarrassed to feel his morning erection during the hug. That man was big."Goodmorning, beautiful." Orion replied, kissing me on the neck. It must hav
V Izzy’s pov "So, I will do some strength training with you. to get you stronger, but I think taking a few lessons in self defense would be great." Orion explained. "You've never been taught to fight?" I was kind of surprised since in our pack, every man was taught to fight, even the omega males. Women got some training, but not enough, in my opinion. Orion chuckled, "well, that cost money, and Richard didn't want to spend any money on us. I always used my height and strength to frighten people, and the rest was just instinct. But maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to get some training too." "But you don’t want people to start saying stuff about you?" I asked, knowing what people would say if they knew he was learning to fight. "Exactually." Orion replied, but got right back to focusing on me. "So, I was thinking something like Judo or Jujitsu, because it’s mostly self-defense and you learn to get out of grips and how to use someone’s weight against them. It will give you some time to c
Orion’s povLife was perfect. I mean, maybe to some, this wasn’t enough, but for me, it was. I went to work with Erin, who seemed to be getting used to the idea of me and Izzy. Then I’d see Izzy and spend the evening with her. We would talk or watch movies; I’d learn her some sign language; we’d make out; or we would read side by side on her bed and then fall asleep in each other’s arms.As much as I wanted to have sex with Izzy, I wasn’t in a hurry. We had time. It was important to me that it would be her choice when we took that next step.And then on the days Izzy and I didn’t have to work, we would train, and after that, we spent the whole day together in the woods. We both seemed to love nature, and an added benefit was that there were no people here to judge us. Not that Izzy was hiding our relationship from anyone.Every time I had the chance to pick her up from work, I did, and she would give me a kiss in front of everyone there. People either thought she was super naive or had
Izzy’s povI couldn’t let today end like this. It had been perfect. Orion got me flowers, and he had been so sweet. I didn’t mean to get sad, but every time things were perfect, I wished I could stay here.I was falling hard for Orion, and by this point, my heart was going to break anyway. So why was I holding back? Whenever Orion kissed me, my mind was solely on him. Memories of Jordan would still haunt me, but not when I was with Orion. I could do more with him than kiss, but I was scared that if I did, it would make me fall in love with Orion even more.But seeing him like this made me realize that ship had already sailed. I was in love with Orion, and I don’t think that going to the next level, base, or whatever you call it would make things worse.First base was kissing, second above the waist, and third below, right? I don’t know, but I did know that when we had that shower, I wanted more. His hands on my breasts felt right, and I wanted to touch him too.I kissed Orion with a ne
Orion’s pov"So, who is that?" Doctor Michael asked. "Do you have a girlfriend, Orion?"I smiled, thinking about Izzy. "Yeah.""I thought we discussed that it was better that you focused on your health first."I sighed. I was just here for the medicine. Doctor Michael had some clear instructions before I left that I didn’t always agree with. The second was to not start dating until a year after I was out of the mental hospital. He would have freaked out if he knew I had taken lower doses because his first rule was to always take my medication as he had instructed me.He had more rules that I felt were just stupid, like how he wanted me to train less. I could run or do cardio, but no strength exercises, and especially not any martial arts. He was scared it would trigger me somehow.I shrugged my shoulders, "she’s been good for me.""I don’t have to tell you what’s at risk, Orion. If you have another psychosis, she could get hurt."‘Don’t trust him,’ the voice said.‘Stop calling me "the
