"Unexpected Alpha Series: Complete Box Set"

She stopped when she was about three feet from him. If they both took a step towards each other, he could gather her in his arms, but he did not want to make that mistake again. Confusion speared through him. Drawn to Sehkmet in an echo of the way he used to feel drawn to his beloved Bast before her untimely death. “Will you tell me what all that was about back there?” Imothep stared into her sparkling brown eyes, trying to keep afloat in their liquid depths. He tore himself away, sucking in a deep, unnecessary, breath, raking his strong fingers through his hair. He faced her again, fixing her with a fierce stare. “I cannot bear the sight of another man with his hands on you. Hell, I can’t even stand the thought of it. You are a goddess, Sehkmet. You should be treated with reverence. Only a man in love with you can treat you the way you deserve to be treated.” Sehkmet’s eyes widened in shock, and she took a half step back. “And who are you to think that and decide how I should or shouldn’t be treated, or even who by?” Imothep could hear a catch in her voice. He thought it was anger, but he was not sure. There was a fire in her eyes as she held his gaze. Imothep dropped his head in defeat. After a thousand years of watching her from afar, he had finally come to the pinnacle of his self-control at watching her flirt and play with other men. With a voice so low she would not have heard him had it not been for her supernatural hearing, he spoke the words he never thought he would say again, let alone to another woman. “Because I am the man who is in love with you, who would worship you with every touch, thought and glance.” BOOK: An Unexpected Bonding: Unexpected Alpha Series Book One Buy DIRECT from the author and save 25% off the whole series!
