“All right.” He laughed. “We shall not start there.”
He stifled my giggles with a very steady, very solid kiss.
FIFTY-NINE
A week of blinding bliss. We didn’t hide ourselves away from the world as we wanted to because duty demanded us, but each moment of the day was blanketed with the sighs, the contentment, every inhale and exhale, every vibration signaling the other was alive and we lived for each other.
I was overwhelmed. I was delirious.
I know I healed my patients.
I know I stepped one foot in front of the other as I danced through the snow.
Somehow I ate.
Somehow I breathed.
My skin tickled when Caedryn thought of me. My face flushed when he whispered through my mind.
I was tense throughout the day until I finally lay in his arms at night.
No one, and I mean no one, ever described bonding the way I was experiencing it. They kept it sacred. Only the two people involved shared the details of their intimacy.
I’m not sure if two souls would bond if they knew how consuming it was.
I stretched my body under the covers. Caedryn leaned over me, sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Do you think the intensity fades?” I asked. “I’m not sure I can function at this level.”
Caedryn laughed. “I hope not. But you have to consider. We’ve opened ourselves up because it’s new, and we wanted to. The bond is like your dragon’s bond; we still have some semblance of privacy if we choose.”

“I’ve been waiting for you to wake—for three hours,” he said.
“What? Why? Why are you grinning like that? Don’t keep me in suspense.”
He leaned over and whispered into my ear. “You don’t see it, do you?” He straightened and stepped back from the bed. He covered his mouth with his hands as his body trembled with excitement.
I jumped up, standing on the bed, my head hitting the canopy. His tremors raked my spine. “You’re exciting me with terrific joy.” Wide-eyed, I looked within myself. “You’re thinking about how I’m going to screech and throw myself into your arms because what you have to tell me will blow me away.”
Caedryn’s countenance remained unchanged.
“You’re killing me! Just tell me!” I exclaimed.
“I think you don’t see it because it’s inside you. Your own light is blocking the tiny speck of brilliance.”
“Tiny speck?”
“It blinked into existence last night. Like a jolt through my system. You were so dead asleep I guess you didn’t feel it.”
My breath caught. My foot tangled in the covers as I moved to the mattress’s edge.
“You mean—”
