He drops, covering me completely. His breath ruffles my hair, and he continues to glide slowly as we both come down.
This is everything I have always wanted. Elijah can give me the home. A home filled with acceptance, love, of belonging to someone in every way. The things my mom and I have always searched and hoped for.
The ache of not having her with me suddenly wells up inside. I wish she could meet Elijah. I wish I could hold her in my arms and feel her joy. Her dream of me finding my mate someday, a reality.
I can’t let Elijah go. I don’t have to run anymore. I don’t want to.
My arms tighten around him.
I have to fight for him. I have to protect him.
I think I already love him.
Then why am I filled with regret? Not for what we just shared, but for not biting him and completing the bond.
But I couldn’t ignore the little voice inside saying,‘It’s not time yet.’
I have always listened to my gut. I will hold on as tight as I can and when it’s time, I will know.
“Saylor,” is whispered in my ear.
I swat at the offending object that pulls me out of the best sleep I’ve ever had. Living on the road and most nights in the backseat, spread out as much as possible is less than comfortable. Plus, the constant worry of someone finding you or someone breaking in. Every night I sleep in Elijah’s soft, big bed is wonderful, but after last night, it’s more so.
I almost fell asleep with him on top and inside of me. He worked me to that point. He took care of me before I was fully asleep. He cleaned me and tucked me in. I fell asleep with my body pressed to his side, my head on his chest.
I have never felt so loved and safe.
“Kitty Cat,” the amused voice comes again.
“No,” I protest and try to roll away.
“Nope,” Elijah says, stopping me. He scoops me out of the covers and across his lap.
“Hey,” I growled. I’m still naked.
“Time to get up.” He drags the blanket over my lap as I cross my arms and glare. “As tempting as that glare is, and I would love to play, we have guests.”
“What time is it?” I ask, blinking blearily.
“Nine.” He brushes the hair from my face. “Unfortunately, I woke up to a rabbit pounding on my door. Then the dragons showed up. Then Bash showed up, along with the lions. I have a freaking menagerie on my porch,” he grumbles. “I need you torun interference. I’m likely to be very mean. I would rather be in bed with you ignoring the world all day. The only good thing is, they brought doughnuts.”
“Sally is here?” My eyes brighten.
“Yes, she smells much better today, but is annoying the vampire. The dragons and lions find her hilarious.” He rolls his eyes.
“Why didn’t you kick them out?” I ask out of curiosity.
“That would be rude.”
“It’s okay to be mean, but not rude?”
“Well…yeah.”
“That makes no sense.”
He shrugs his shoulders. “They’re probably listening to this whole conversation.”
“Great,” I sigh, smiling and shaking my head.
