Chapter 109 - Trinity-Waking Up In Reece's Arms
I could feel sothing wrapped around , and my face was pressed against sothing firm, yet strangely soft. I wasn't used to the feeling, but I rembered it. It was exactly what I felt when I woke up the day Reece slept in my room.
I opened my eyes slowly. The room was dark but I could still make out Reece's firm, naked chest in front of my face. His arms were wrapped tightly around , holding to him. I could not move away from him at all without waking him.
I turned my head slightly, so my face wasn't pressed directly into his chest. The movent hurt, but not as much as I thought it would. I rembered the excruciating pain I had been in before I had passed out from sheer pain and exhaustion. But still, I let out a small cry of pain.
"Mhn." I tried to stifle the sound so I didn't disturb Reece, but I felt him stiffen instantly.
"Little Bunny." He called out squeezing a little tighter.
"I'm fine Reece." I assured him. "Though I won't be if you keep squeezing so tight." I giggled softly as I felt him release and pull away. The loss of his warmth was almost painful in and of itself. My body wanted to be close to him, and I didn't know how much longer I had with him, knowing what I found out recently.
"You're awake." He smiled radiantly before hugging to him again, gently but still firmly. "I thought I had lost you forever.
I was confused, but happy. I wasn't used to a Reece that acted like this. If it could stay like this I would be happy. If things like this were the normal between us and we didn't have all the problems we've had to deal with.
Reece's arms loosened around again and he pulled back, but his hands remained on my waist. That was when I realized, I wasn't wearing anything.
"Um, Reece, why am I naked?" I asked him apprehensively.
"Uh, because your clothes were destroyed when you turned into a wolf last night. Don't you rember?" He seed concerned.
"Vaguely. Was it just last night?" I asked him jokingly. "I feel rested for the first ti in I don't know how long." I laughed. "How long was I gone?"
"You don't know?" He seed surprised. I shook my head.
"No, they knocked out before taking there and I woke up in that cellar. I lost consciousness several tis while I was in there, but I never knew how long I was out for. And torture feels like it lasts for hours, I never knew how long I was awake. If you were to ask , it felt like I was gone for a week at least, but sotis I would say less, others more." I saw the pain in his eyes at my words, like he was hurting physically from just hearing it.
"I'm so sorry Trinity." He said the words softly as he pulled gently to him again for a brief hug. "I'm sorry it took so long to find you. I'm sorry you were there for so long."
"How long was I there?"
"Fifty-two hours. That's how long it took to find you." He sounded so remorseful.
"That's it. A little over two days? It definitely felt like longer." I comnted.
"I'm sorry."
"It wasn't your fault Reece." I tried to reassure him.
"But if I would have just taken you with like you wanted, none of this would have happened." He closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against mine, I could no longer see his face clearly. "But I thought I knew what was best. Noah and I both thought you would be safer if you stayed ho. We didn't think, not for a mont, that anything like this would happen if we left you at ho."
I could hear the pain, and regret in his voice. I couldn't put this Reece together with the Reece that I've always known. He was acting so differently. What had he gone through to bring about this change? What had made him act so differently?
"Reece, what happened to you?" I pulled back and asked him without thinking. My head was tilted in confusion.
"What do you an? Nothing happened to ."
"You're just not acting like yourself." He raised an eyebrow. "You're acting completely different than you did before."
"Little Bunny." He sighed. "I know I've ssed up in the past, but haven't we moved on. Haven't I already proven that I care about you."
"In what way? Because we've slept together? That doesn't prove anything Reece, except that you're a horny male and I was a willing female." He growled as I finished my little rant.
"It ant a hell of a lot more than that to , and I hoped it would have ant more to you too."
"Oh it did. It ant a lot to for several reasons." I blushed, thinking of all those reasons.
"Yeah, and what reasons are those?" He smirked mischievously.
"W-w-well i--it was my first ti for one." I tried to hide my face in embarrassnt but he held my head in place with my chin.
"And?" He encouraged to continue.
"W-w-well." I stuttered, unable to talk. "W-w-why did it an a lot to you?" He grinned wickedly causing to swallow convulsively.
"There were several things important about those two nights to ." He leaned forward as he spoke. "First, there is the fact that I have never before been with the sa woman more than once, so that was a first for too." He kissed softly on the forehead as he spoke. "Also, I have never spent an entire night with soone, so that was a first as well." He kissed the tip of my nose this ti. "And lastly, there's the fact that it was the first ti I have ever been with soone I am in love with. I'd say that made it really special for ." He was smirking as he leaned toward . I was frozen in shock as he ca closer, unable to move.
Reece pressed his lips to mine. Soft and gentle. It was a kiss that was ant to convey love, affection, and adoration. It was sweet, tender, and loving. I had never felt so loved as I did in that mont.
When Reece pulled Back I was still staring at him in shock.
"Little Bunny?" He asked , concerned.
"Sorry, I think I'm just in a state of shock."
"Why?" There was a laugh in his voice. He clearly knew why but wanted to say it.
"Did you just say what I think you said?"
"I don't know, what do you think I said?" He laughed.
"Th-that you...that you...that you love ." I could feel my heart beating a mile a minute, it felt like it was about to beat right out of my chest.
"That depends, how does that make you feel?" He asked , his voice aloof and still playful. I just continued to stare at him, dumbfounded. His face fell, the laughter fading. "How do you feel about , Little Bunny?" He asked, a hint of worry filling his voice.
"Well." I turned my head in embarrassnt. "I-I love you."
"I love you Little Bunny." He sighed happily as he pulled toward him in a tight embrace. "I love you so much. I wish I never said those hurtful things to you. I'm just so glad that we have been able to move on and get to this point." I hugged him back, holding him against . "I never ant what I said back then. I never rejected you, I never hated you. I just thought that I was protecting you by keeping you at a distance from ."
"I know that now, Reece. But let's never do that to each other again, ok."
"I promise Little Bunny. You couldn't get away from now if you tried." He locked his arms around tightly, holding more firmly against him.
"You're going to have to let go at so point." I laughed.
"Nope, ain't gonna happen." He laughed right back at .
"Well, will you let go long enough to take a bath?" I smirked as I tried to pull away.
"No, I'll just go with you."
At those words Reece threw the blankets back and stood. The air didn't really feel chilly or cold to . What felt cold was the absence of his body next? to mine. But he just turned, put one knee on the bed and picked up in a princess carry with an arm under my knees and the other around my shoulders.
He held close against him and I snuggled his chest as he walked toward the bathroom.
"Reece, where are we?" I asked, as I realized this place was not in our ho.
"We're at the pack house of another alpha. He helped to find you, I owe him a lot."
"Where?" I emphasized that part of my question.
"Black Canyons."
"They took that far?" I felt my eyes pop. "They went through a lot to get to ." I mumbled.
"I didn't care if they took you to the moon, I would have found a way to get you back." His words made smile as I buried my face against him.
