Chapter 174: Isleen, What Have You Done?
Suddenly, Rhett spoke, his voice gentle and sincere. "That was amazing, Isleen. You were amazing. By the moon goddess, I wish we hadn’t wasted so much time dancing around our mate bond." He planted a kiss on my forehead.
The simple act was enough to make my cheeks flush with both embarrassment and a shyness that I hadn’t felt during the sex. Seems the confidence I had just now had begun washing away as soon as I reached climax.
After a long silence, I finally found the strength to speak again. "I mean what I said earlier, Rhett. About you opening up with your emotions."
Rhett chuckled. He turned to look at my face, a childish grin on his face. "It seems you’ve finally stopped calling me ’Gamma’ when we’re alone."
I creased my brows. I hadn’t even realized that.
"Is there a problem with that, Gamma?" My tone was a bit sarcastic, but I didn’t care in the slightest. Rhett must’ve gone insane if he wanted me to address him formally after what we’d just done.
Back to my question, Rhett shrugged sluggishly, ignoring my sarcastic tone. "Not really. You’re my mate, after all, so I don’t mind. Just, maybe try keeping it down when we’re public. Except, of course, if you want us to officially announce our relationship."
I blinked repeatedly, at a loss for words. ’Relationship’? Why hadn’t I registered what I and Rhett had as a relationship in my head yet? No matter how hard I craved him like a drug, it still felt weird thinking of him as my boyfriend, even though that would be an appropriate word to call a man who I’d been seeing and even made love with just now.
I couldn’t hide our relationship anymore. We’d just taken the next step and I felt like it was time. We just had to think about when to announce our relationship, and we still had to consider certain things. Like Kylo.
