Dawn of a New Day
Dawn of a New Day
Wow, I have never had such a restful night. “Morning, did you sleep okay?” He is just looking at me with concern.
“I slept fine. No nightmares. No regrets either.”
I reached over and caressed his cheek. “I'm not afraid of this now. I won't hurt you, and I know you won't hurt me either. I feel it. I feel everything.”
Chase smiles. “I love you.”
“Love you, too. But…”
“But?” he asks.
“I'm hungry.” He chuckles, and it is music to my ears. I just feel so light right now, like a weight was lifted.
He chuckles. “You will keep me on my toes, I can see that now.”
“Maybe I don't just want you on your toes.” Fuck! I just said that! I bite my lip and look away. I am so embarrassed.
Chase smiles. “Emma.” He used his hand to guide my eyes to lock with his. “We can do anything you wish. I will never force you to do anything intimate. I will try never to force you to do anything. Unless it is to protect you, I will do anything to keep you safe. Your safety is not negotiable.”
“Oh, really?”
“Really!” He replies. I am not sure what comes over me, but I roll him to his back. I straddle him. He reaches for me, but I take his hands and pin them to his head. My face is mere inches from his. I look into his eyes.
“I don't want to feel safe right now. Right now, I want to be reckless.”
“Emma.”
“No negotiating.” It is like I am possessed, but I'm not going to fight it. He just makes me feel this immense confidence. I kiss him hard as I sink over his erect cock. He just slips in so deeply that I moan into his mouth. I feel electrified, like every sense is heightened.
We break the kiss, panting as I start to rock my hips. I rest my forehead on his as I grind to an orgasm. My legs quake and my toes curl. “Emma.”
“Chase.” I'm near breathless from the force of coming. He begins to thrust from below, and it just causes another orgasm to course through me. Our fingers entwine as we both reach our climaxes together. Our eyes never leave each other. I can hear him in my head.
I hear his thoughts of ‘That was amazing. She’s amazing and worth any sacrifice.’ I look at him. “Sacrifice? What sacrifice?”
Chase shakes his head. “Trust me, I'm missing out on nothing. If I lost you, then I would be missing out.” He is hiding something. I don't think it's a terrible, deep, dark secret, but it is something he's avoiding. I hope he will trust me enough to tell me when he's ready. I know that accepting what I am is hard enough, so I won't push him, at least not yet. “I will tell you, but now isn't the time.”
“I forgot you can hear my thoughts even with the bracelet.” I feel like a freak.
Chase nods. “Why now isn't the time. We need to figure out what mix you are so we can understand what's happening. Plus, the magic put into the bracelet has probably worn off by now. So I am guessing at the very least Trent and Eric heard it all this morning and just now.”
I bite my lip. Part of them listening in is a turn on, but part of it is as embarrassing as hell. “I know.”
“Hey…” He kisses me. “Knowing won't change us.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Because this…” He kisses me as he holds my head in his hands. I feel that electric heat again. I feel him molding to my soul. “This is eternal.
You are my mate. There will be no other, not for me. I love you, Emma. You, not what being you are.”
“I'm sorry.”
“Stop,” he replies commandingly. “There is nothing to apologize for. I accept it all, Emma.
I accept you.” He kisses me again, and I just lie on top of him. I would melt into him if I could. He just washes away my anxiety as he infuses me with warmth and strength. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” We just held each other for a few minutes.
“I should leave you so you can get dressed,” he says.
“Don't.”
“Are you sure?” he asks.
