She falls asleep with a smile on her face.

She wakesup needy and wanting.

It’s still dark outside, and Julian isn’t next to her.

But before panic overtakes her, he’s pulling her into his lap and pressing a water bottle to her lips.

“Drink, baby,” he whispers. “I’m here with you.”

Her skin is clean and warm, and the blankets surrounding her are freshly laundered.

“How long have I been out?” she murmurs, her hand finding his.

“Hours,” he says gently. “It’s the middle of the night.”

Being in his arms helps soothe the fire under her skin.

Hebither. She’s tied to him, now.

She’s never truly belonged to someone else, even as a child.

Now, she’ll never be alone again.

“I can feel you,” he whispers in her ear. “You’re everywhere and everything, just like I knew you would be.”

His tone is more tender than she’s ever heard it, and he sighs contently against her hair.

The undercurrent of her Heat still lingers, but there’s a sense of peace she’s never felt before.

She’s whole, made complete by this broken man.

Her eyes adjust to the dark and she tilts her head up to kiss him. He responds eagerly, his tongue thoroughly licking the inside her mouth as his hand caresses her cheek.

“Beautiful girl,” he whispers against her lips. “You bring a light into me I thought I would never feel again.”

Her heart stutters at his words. “I’m just me, though,” she murmurs as she pulls away to breathe. “I’m not perfect.”

“Perfect for me,” he responds instantly. “Without a doubt.”

Through their connection, she can sense his sincerity. Emotions tumble through him and float into her, one much more prominent that the others.

Oh.

He’s only known her for a few weeks; how could it be possible?

“Lie back down,” he murmurs, breaking her away from her thoughts. “And let me love you the way you deserve.”

She gasps at his words.

“You should know by now,” he chuckles, as she rests her head on the pillow. “You ruined me the moment you broke into the lab.”

He hovers over her, his mouth inches from hers. “Let me prove it to you,Omega.”

She’s hardly in a place to argue when her mate is licking a stripe down her neck and to her breasts.
