Chapter 256: A Joyous Howl

Ashleigh looked at herself in the mirror, she bit her lower lip with eagerness as she glanced down at what she wore beneath the robe. She giggled and hoped he would be pleased when he saw her.

She took a deep breath before opening the bathroom door.

Caleb lifted his eyes at the sound of the door opening. He grinned when she stepped out. Gone was the white dress and braided crown.

Her hair fell loose and wild around her shoulders and she wore a thin black satin robe that ended just above the knee. Her legs were bare of any covering, hinting at what he might find beneath the robe.

Caleb swallowed as his eyes appreciated the picture she was painting for him.

He sat up in bed. Getting a clearer view of her as she stepped forward, pulling at the belt of her robe with a smile that drew a throaty growl from him.

As Ashleigh reached the end of the bed, she turned her back to him. Then, looking over her shoulder, she smiled playfully.
