I stood and walked to the window, pulling the curtain back only enough to peek through. I didn’t really need to show any of the possible guards down below my birthday suit.
The sky was lighter, signs of daylight approaching. Three vampires were still pacing the street in front of the building. We had a little more time, but it wasn’t long.
“We could do a little magic training or we can take a shower,” David said.
I closed the curtains and turned. While I probably should take him up on learning how to protect myself better, but I wasn’t sure when I’d get a chance to clean up.
My eyes dropped to David’s cock. He was already at full attention again. I knew which option he wanted.
I grinned as I lifted my eyes to his. He met my gaze with a smirk. “Let’s see how wet I can get you.”
The two of us raced to the shower. The hot water felt like heaven on my sore body. David’s fingers traced over a scar on my lower belly. “What is this from?”
I moved him away and covered it with my hand. “I’ve got a lot of scars.”
Gently, he pushed my hand away. “They make you who you are. Never hide the real you. Your body isn’t what defines you. It’s what allows you to do the things you do. I don’t care what it looks like. I’ll want you no matter what.”
He traced his fingertips over a scar near my collar bone. “Each of these is a badge of bravery. My mate is a warrior.”
“I don’t know if I’d call myself a warrior, but I am a good hunter. I hold my own.”
“You more than hold your own,” he said.
I could feel my guard dropping, that protective mask I had to wear to keep people at arm’s length was fading away. David saw me for the real me. I’d never hidden who I was with him. I realized I’d done the same with all my mates. They saw me fight, and they saw the softer side of me. For the first time in my life, I had three people who would support me for me.
Now I wanted to survive all this even more. I had so much to look forward to. David lifted my chin and pressed his lips to mine. Softly at first, then gradually increasing the intensity. I closed my eyes and let him guide me under the water.
I could be doing something productive, but with each caress, each kiss, each flick of his tongue, the guilt melted away.
