Chapter 51

I didn't want to get out of bed, I was in a blissful haze. The sun was streaming into our room through the white curtains, casting the room in a warm glow. It was bitter sweet for we both knew we couldn't stay in here the whole day but by the Moon Goddess did I want to.

Xavier's face was tucked into the crook of my neck and his soft snores filled my ears as his hair tickled my skin. His arms were wrapped around me and our legs were intertwined.

I tilted my head slightly to the side so that I could get a better look at him and smiled gently at how cute he looked.

He seemed so peaceful, so rested. I felt the same, the pain from the heat was a distance echo now, I only felt him, he consumed my every thought and my every feeling.

This, this feeling right now is what it means to be mates. To share souls so intimately. I couldn't quite get enough of the feeling of being completely and utterly whole and it was all because of him.
