Chapter 79: Solace
I could only hear the sound of my shaky breathing and my heartbeat. With each breath I took my body beca colder but thanks to Dace’s warmth I was getting okay and impossibly warm. My body still aches like I held a rock to my body but in all that I couldn’t concentrate on that pain but Dace’s hand gently rubbing against my waist in a curve pattern, my shirt was lifted slightly and his warm hand rubbing my bare skin, giving
a kiss of his warm skin.
I felt alleviation and I felt cozy, I didn’t want any of this to end and I didn’t wanna think about what happened or anything else, I just wanna be here with him, in this silence, just the two of us, laying against the bed and facing each other, I was enjoying the quietness and the anity we found, it was calm and his company was everything, just him being here was enough to lt the cold away.
"How are you feeling?" he asked in that baritone voice of his, finally breaking the long silence, I don’t know how long we have been in this position, I knew long enough but still it wasn’t sufficient.
"Hey" he gently stroked my cheek, giving
more hotness from his body. How could he produce so much heat?
"You’re so warm" I found my voice, closing my eyes and conveying more into that heat of his, it felt like a fla in close proximity with .
A smile uncovered his lips. "Part of being a werelion" he ran his finger to my hair, thrusting them backward.
"We produce heat, it’s almost like a part of us, we are warm-blooded"
"Produce heat? That’s not normal" I mumbled under my breath and he chortled slightly.
"I’m not normal Emma"
His words were like a reminder and I suddenly felt guilty about my choice of words. "S-Sorry, I didn’t an it that way"
"Hey, it’s okay, that’s not the problem right now," I noticed the colors in his eyes shifted.
"You think I’m cursed don’t you?"
It was like I brought us back to the reality of everything that happened and it made
scared.
"You said your aunt would have known if you were, so I doubt that"
"Then what..." I paused with a deep shaky sigh. "What’s happening to , Dace?"
He cupped my cheek. "I will find out... okay?"
I nodded.
"You should get so sleep, you’re pale and you need rest"
I quickly shook my head, adhering to him more, and creasing my hands on his shirt.
"I don’t think I can sleep,’’ I began in a murmur. "I keep..." I sighed. "I keep seeing him Dace, that vampire and it was so real, I thought he’s gonna"
"Shh" he soothed
drawing closer to , but with his elbow against the bed so it seed I was under him now. He looked down at
and I noticed his eyes were lighter than ever.
"As long as I’m here, I won’t let you get hurt" he spoke in a much more profound tone and I could see the validity and solemnity that lay beneath them, he felt no room for question and showed
the exact gravity that lay within.
"Never" he added in a more muscular tone and I felt my heart beat hastened not by his words but sothing that spark within his orbs that scared , sothing passionate and possessive, it scared
because I wasn’t so sure I could handle that and it brought a chilliness to my body and for a bizarre reason my heart fluttered.
I should be discreet, I should be considering but I wasn’t, there were several crazinesses in one place and I found myself clutching it, he was right, he was soone I can’t handle, can I really?
I noticed he leaned down, coming closer and taking the space with , he was closing the distance between us and I knew exactly what he was aiming for.
Our noses brushed. "You should know Emma..." he began closing his eyes but he didn’t make any additional move even though I was dying within
for him to do so. "...I’m very, very" his warm breath bathed upon
making
dip further in his heavenly heat and I knew just then I was lted both inside and out. "...very protective of the things I care about and that includes you, my little human" he opened those gorgeous eyes of his.
Please kiss
right now!
To my silent prayer, he leaned in for just that.
The curtain zapped open, and I released a breath, we have company, just when his lips were about to caress mine, WHY!
"Oh... am I interrupting?" at the sound of the lodic voice I shuddered, that was Dace’s mom! And she just has to see us like this! I reddened deeply, tucking on Dace’s shirt tightly like my life depended on it but Dace wasn’t helping, even though the close distance was no more, we still remained in that position and he didn’t seem to wanna move away.
"How is she?"
"She’s all heated up"
"Good, because we have company. Emma?"
I shyly peeked at her. "Your aunt’s here"
"My aunt?"
"Yes, I let the school call her, you know why?"
I nodded.
"Good"

"Oh my god, Emma!" My aunt engulfed
in a tight hug. "You’re okay" she sounded worried. And I couldn’t help it as I embraced her back just as tightly.
She parted from . "Were you sick or..." she began and I shook my head.
"She had a dream" Dace began behind . "And it affected her body physically"
"What?" her eyes fell back to .
"Am I cursed?"
"I would know"
"Then..." I paused, biting my lip.
"We will find out and in the anti, we have news consigning the trace"
"And?" Dace urged quickly, almost like he was itching to know.
"He couldn’t trace it"
"I don’t understand," I comnced, but she continued.
"Yes we felt the other presence of who touched the book just like you but she couldn’t get a reading on her, it’s almost like..." she shakes her head. "Unknown"
This is getting way worse than I expected, just what the fuck is going on?
