~~~Ophelia's POV~~~
"Ophelia." I hear.
I blink my eyes open and see Lucas looming over me with a smile.
"I didn't want to wake you, but I figured you'd want to eat dinner with everyone." He says.
I smile.
"Yes, of course. Thanks for waking me. I don't know why I'm so tired." I say, getting up from the bed.
"I think your heat is coming, my love." He says, watching me get dressed
"Already?" I ask a little nervous
He nods. "It comes faster for Lycans." He says.
"Oh, I didn't know that." I say, buttoning my jeans.
I pull my top over my head and go to the mirror to brush out my hair. Lucas comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, kissing my neck.
"I'm going to take care of you, don't worry." He says softly.
I smile.
"I know, I'm just worried I'm not going to be able to let you go. We're bad enough as it is." I say chuckling.
He chuckles, too. "Not a problem with me." He says, smiling.
"Yeah, until you get tired of me." I say.
His eyebrows furrow as a small growl escapes his lips. He turns me around to face him.
"How many times do I have to tell you, you are the only one I want. Your body. Your soul. Tell me, do you crave me like I crave you? Do you crave my touch as much as I crave your?" He asks.
"Well, yes. Always." I say.
"Well tell me this. Do you crave to lay with another?" He ask.
My eyes widen. "No, why in the hell would you ask that? I couldn't even imagine laying with someone else " I say.
"And you think it would be different for me?" He asks.
I sign, defeated. "I don't know, Lucas. I just....I just love you so much. I fear nothing now except a life without you. I could be living a life of hell but with you by my side, it would still be nirvana." I say.
He kisses my nose.
"I promise that you are my one and only as I am yours." He says.
I kiss him. "There are no words to describe my adoration for you, Lucas Black." I say.
He shakes his head.
"Nor I, now let's go eat dinner before I throw you back on the bed and ravish you for the thousandth time today." He says with a chuckle.
I laugh. "Well should start counting. I'm sure we're beat some sort of record." I say with a devious smile.
He chuckles. "I do not doubt it." He says opening the door for me.
His arms wrap around my waist as we go down the stairs. His brothers Jasper, Elijah and Emmet are already downstairs along with Igrette. The look ok Jaspers face when he sees up is truly a sight.
"Wow, Miss. Ophelia you are looking mighty dashing tonight." Jasper says.
Lucas growls. "Mine."
Jasper smiles and walked closer, obviously tormenting him.
"Oh gosh brother, don't worry. She's like a sister, same as Igrette. I may be a monster, but I would never hurt my brothers, you know that." Jasper says, rolling his eyes.
"But it is fun to tease you. Your Lycan is basically pissing all over her right now. So you can shut off the possessive kill mode." He says.
"Watch this." I hear him whisper to Emmet.
He walks over to me and goes to put a hand on my arm. He didn't even get to touch me before Lucas grabs it and twists is backwards.
My eyes widen. "Lucas!" I say.
Jasper chuckles in pain and snaps his arm back into place.
"Wow, you're worse than Emmet was." He says.
"I will break your arm again if you go near my mate, brother." Lucas growls.
I turn around and look into his eyes.
"Calm down, Lucas. You know your brother would never do anything to hurt me. So, relax." I say staring into his eyes.
He visibly relaxes as I take hold of his hand.
"Let me go talk to Igrette while dinner is being arranged." I say.
He nods and I look at her with wide eyes, trying to relay that I want to talk to her. She legs go of Emmet and pulls me to the guest room right down the hall.
"Tell me everything." She says with a smile.
"Well he basically came into my room the night you left that book. He is so sweet and loving and kind and so so hot. My skin burns just being away from him. I swear I think we are forming some sort of addiction." I say.
She laughs.
"It's always quite a lot in the begining but eventually you guys will get to a steady schedule and be able to be apart for a few hours without it being agonizing." She says.
I smile. "Well that's nice to know, but either way, I can't complain. I'm in love with him, Igrette. He is my everything. It's crazy how the time we didn't spend together us minuscule compared to the time we have. I feel like I've known him my whole life " I tell her.
She smiles.
"I'm so happy for you, Ophelia. I knew he would snap out of it. Men can be so hard headed and idiotic at time but he is a smart man and smart men know that they need their mates as much as they need their next breath." She says.
I smile. "I suppose that is true " I agree.
She giggles. "Oh, on a slightly different note, you definitely smell heavily of him." She says with a laugh.
"I do?" I ask, going to sniff myself.
"Yes, you smell like him mixed with sex." She says.
I blush.
"Well you smell like Emmet." I say.
She smiles. "That's because I don't have my old scent. Emmet and I smell the same so you wouldn't know any better." She says.
I smile. "Fine, I suppose your right." I say.
"I always am, now let's go get some dinner shall we, before you wolf gets ancy. I know how it is, in face I still find it hard being away from my mate and it's been three years " she says with a chuckle.
I smile. "Three years is a short time to our Lycans." I say
"It is so." She says with a smile.
