Book 2 Chapter 27

Daphne’s Point of View

I cannot recall the last time I woke up feeling this refreshed. I lay in bed for a few moments enjoying the feel of Caleb’s arm around me as I think back to last night. I expected him to be furious with me. Downstairs in the dining room his demeanor had been frigid, and in truth he had frightened me a little. I was shocked that not only was he not upset with me, but he was proud of my actions. He told me that he was happy that I got to finally stick up for myself. He even said that I looked hot while doing it.

Thinking of his words and remembering the hungry look in his eyes spreads a warmth throughout my body that I have not felt in a long time. Almost by habit I squirm a bit closer to Caleb, feeling his warmth on my neck, his hard chest against my back. A moment of clarity makes me wonder if I am doing the right thing. The warmth and memories of Caleb’s hands warming my body make me want to tease him, but my brain questions if I am ready to be sexual with him yet. We have made so much progress lately that I do not want to set us back any. I slowly turn over so that I am facing him.

I take the opportunity to study Caleb’s face. He is such an amazing man, always putting the pack and me before himself. Always ready to lend a hand whenever needed, and strong in his morals and values. The Moon Goddess has blessed me beyond my wildest imagination.

“I hope you know that I can feel you eyes on me woman.” He startled me by grumbling out.

“How long have you been awake?” I ask him cautiously.

“Long enough to feel you wiggle your little ass on me, before you started studying my face.” He tells me with a grin. I know that he is baiting me, and I want to reciprocate.
