Book 2 Chapter 39

Caleb’s Point of View

I know that I must get up from the bed but laying here with Daphne sleeping soundly splayed across my chest I do not want to move. Last night was amazing. I did not expect Daphne to be ready for intimacy on that level yet, but when she bucked her hips up, I was lost in the void of lust. I had missed my mate severely, so it was a huge relief to both myself and my wolf spirit. I felt like our bond was stronger than it was yesterday. I bent my head and softly kissed the top of hers, sending up another thank you to the Moon Goddess for blessing me with her.

“Mmmm I do not want to get up yet.” Daphne’s sleepy voice called out.

“I know my love, but there is a lot to get done today. On the bright side almost, everyone will be leaving after today so that we can start to untangle some of the mysteries we have around here.” I am not sure if I said this more to reassure her, or if I was trying in vain to convince myself. This week had brought a ton of new problems, and headaches.

Daphne rolled on to her back, and I wanted to whimper for a moment at the loss of contact with her. “I know, I just hate that there are so many questions without answers.” She looks up at my face, and I can already tell that her brain is switching into overdrive.

“Yes, but we will not be finding any answers if we dally in bed my sweet. On a different note, how are you feeling this morning?” I cannot help but be worried that I have hurt her.

Daphne immediately picks up on the meaning behind my question. “Caleb I am not glass and you did not hurt me. I wanted it, and I am pretty sure that I was ready. I healed a long time ago from the loss of our pup, I just was not ready mentally. I feel great, a little sleepy, but other than that I am fine. So, stop your worrying over that, and get up. We have to make sure everything is good for the summer bash tonight, plus we have the whole Axle, Clint, Hannah situation. Any idea when we can expect the messenger from the elders to be back?” Just like that my mate was out of bed and already getting her clothes ready for the day.
