Iris:
After a few minutes of kissing him with intensity, I noticed he began to pull back. My body had started to calm down as well.
"You don't wish for intimacy," he whispered, shocking me.
Before I could ask him why he said that, he added, "You just need comfort."
As he said that and caressed my cheek, I felt myself wanting to melt into his arms again.
In the darkness, he guided me to the bed. For a moment, everything around me felt numb.
He held me in his arms while he lay down with me. I could not remember the last time I had cuddled with someone like this.
My wolf needed it so badly that she tried her best not to leave his embrace.
So I stayed there. After a few minutes, when the haze of his touch finally faded, I realized how lucky I was that he had not taken things further.
It would have been awkward.
I lifted my head from his chest and noticed he had fallen asleep.
