Ali’s POV
Holding my breath in anticipation, my eyes closed, I wait for Ralph’s gently bite to mark me and finally claim me as his mate…
But instead, his lips pull away, his body tense as he lets out a breathy moan of frustration.
Opening my eyes, I see Ralph’s eyebrows pulled together and he gives me a look of regret as he sits up, pulling me up with him.
“We are about to be interrupted I am afraid, and we might not want to be caught in our current attire, or lack of.”
He runs his hands through his hair and gives me a rueful grin as he reaches onto the floor to toss my discarded clothes to me, which I catch in a confused daze.
“Oh.”
I hesitate, feeling a heavy disappointment at this abrupt intrusion on such a big moment for us.
We were so close. I don’t know if I really care if so
