From his seat at the high table, Jeremy watched the seated alphas with a slight frown on his face. Something didn’t seem right. For one, he didn’t understand why they kept glancing in Ryan’s way. One of the alphas was making a submission about a project that was ongoing in one of the communities but Jeremy only half-listened. He tried to give his complete attention to what was being said because as AA, he was to ask questions after the presentation but he just couldn’t concentrate. Jeremy turned his head to look at his mate and once again, found Ryan’s hot gaze on him. He shivered at the tingling pleasure that shimmied down his spine at the stark want in those amazing green eyes. Damn, his mate looked alluringly captivating, Jeremy couldn’t help but acknowledge silently. Surely, that wasn’t distracting the alphas, the AA thought hopefully.
