NATHAN'S POV
I woke up, and as always, Derrick was not beside me. I didn't want to remain in the room that smelled like the lewdness of my sweat mixing with Derrick's. He left, so why should I be the one plagued by the memories of last night?
I walked out after getting dressed and found my way to the garden. I wanted to be away from anything that reminded me of Derrick. It was too hard having to watch him prepare to marry another woman in two days while he comes to the room to kiss me.
Last night was different from any sexual experience we have ever had. Last night, he took his time to seek my pleasure. When he does things like that, I find it impossible to actually do anything. He gives me hope behind closed doors and then proceeds to do something else out there.
Was I expecting him to claim me openly? Claim me? Hell! He doesn't even love me. The only thing I needed from him was to choose one: his life as the Alpha that requires him to marry a woman, or his life with me.
