"Here, I'll carry you," I say to Ash the moment Anders leaves the room and she lovingly smiles back at me...
"And then you'll carry me down the stairs to dinner and after dinner, you'll still carry me back to the room?... I'm not as weak as I look, you know?"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, baby, relax." She replies with a smile
Instead of allowing me to carry her, she holds my arm and uses it to support herself as she stands. With my help, she takes dainty steps at first to test if she's strong enough to walk by herself. When I'm satisfied she can walk without help, I allow her to let go of my hand and walk the rest of the way to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, she examines herself in the mirror, making small comments at the same time.
"Aww, babe! You cut my hair?" She pouts. "But I thought you liked it longer? If it was a problem, you could have just asked Ella to braid it instead of cutting it you know..."
I'm still thinking up the lie to respond to her with when she raises the shirt she's wearing, wanting to remove it then pause in the act...
"What is this? Am I wearing a diaper!?" She asks in alarm when she sees what she's wearing underneath the shirt. Her facial expression right then makes me laugh genuinely for the first time since I saw her in Council Yard.
"Oh, damn! This is so embarrassing! God! Who has been doing the dirty work for me?" She asks so pitifully I can't bear to laugh at her anymore.
"Relax, babe! That is not a diaper. Ella said it's a panty-type sanitary napkin. She said it's good for heavy flow or something and I just put it on you, myself this morning. You were never a burden on anyone." I say as I bring out the whole pack for her to see for herself
"Oh..." She replies and wants to ask another question but I quickly talk over her
"Now we need to hurry. We don't want to be the reason dinner is delayed."
"Yeah sure," She replies with a smile.
My dick stirs shamelessly the moment she removes her shirt and stands naked before me. I gaze in astonishment, swallowing dryly as she stretches to remove a toothbrush from the toothbrush holder far out of her reach.
Damn, she's got perfect boobs. Full, high, and firm.
'Dammit Thor! What the hell is the matter with you!? She's just recovering, how could you think of this right now!?' I chastise myself when the dirty thoughts of caressing and sucking her boobs cross my mind.
I thought I could watch her bathe and make sure she didn't fall or something. Obviously, that won't be possible anymore. I don't understand why she affects me this much now when I didn't feel the same way when I bathed her earlier.
I've slept with many beautiful women of all beings, humans, werewolves, and vampires yet none can be compared to the one standing before me. She's indeed the most beautiful woman that I've ever met, with and without her clothes on.
I watch her brush her teeth, when she finishes and wants to remove the panty pad, I know it's time for me to leave since it's obvious from my hard-on that I can't control myself anymore.
"Are you leaving? I thought we were going to shower together..." She says, smiling flirtatiously as her eyes stray down to my boner.
My mate is a naughty one, I see. Even though it's clear from the way she's smiling and slowly moving toward me that she wants more than for us to shower together, which is also exactly what I want, I back away from her a little.
She doesn't know she had a miscarriage, otherwise she wouldn't have been so flirtatious. Since I know she's still recovering, why can't I put my desire for her under control!? I'm ashamed of myself.
"Damn, babe, you're not helping matters, you know that right?" I manage a small protest when I feel her hands slip under my shirt to caress my abs
"What? I'm not doing anything wrong or am I?..." She says almost in a whisper, her lips slightly brush mine, light and feathery.
I breathe in sharply when her wandering hands move further up to graze a nipple
"You're on your period, Ash!..." I weakly remind her, thinking maybe that would get her to stop the torture but it doesn't.
"And when has that ever stopped us? I'm always horny during my period and we've always done it in the bathroom to avoid getting blood on the bed, remember?"
"Really!?"
"Yes, really! What is the matter with you, Thor? Why are you suddenly acting strangely!?" She asks, her eyes that have suddenly turned serious searching mine for answers.
'Oh, my god! She suspects something is wrong! How do I tell her she's the one acting strangely and not me? How do I explain to her that she's still living in a dream even though she's awake!?'
"Babe, we shouldn't be doing this. You just woke up from being unconscious and..."
"Wait!... " She suddenly interrupts with her head cocks aside and her finger over my mouth.
"Doctor Anders is at the door. You should go to him, it might be important. We can talk about this later, okay."
'Doctor Anders! We're in the bathroom, surrounded by different smells of soap, shampoo, and whatnot, how did she manage to sense him so fast!?'
I nod at her. She's a Lycan afterall. Of course, she'll hear the faintest movement that most of us can't detect. However, instead of allowing me to leave, she moves closer, so close that not even the smallest object can pass between us.
She stands on tiptoes and kisses me passionately. As much as I want to stop her, and pull away from her, I don't. I can't, even. She's magnetic. The attraction between us is so crazy and uncontrollable. I don't know for how long we kissed, god knows I might not have been able to stop myself from taking her right there in the bathroom if she hadn't pulled away from me.
She smiles
"I missed you too babe but Doctor Anders is still waiting, you know. Maybe it's urgent." She reminds me
It's too late.
Now, I don't want to part from her. I want to see this through to the end.
"I don't think so. Otherwise, he would have called me through the mind link." I reply in between placing small kisses all over her face.
Did I just say that!?
I can't believe my words. I was reluctant to touch her before. Now I'm reluctant to let her go.
"You should go. We'll have plenty of time to ourselves tonight after dinner." She insists and finally pulls herself away from me.
'It's good she pulled away. We shouldn't be thinking of sex. I should allow her body to heal.' I keep repeating to myself.
Even though I want to kill Anders for his bad timing, deep down I'm grateful to him at the same time.
I open my bedroom door to find he has already made himself comfortable in my adjoining living room. He stands up when he sees me.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think you would hear. I only knocked once and it wasn't even loud and..."
"What do you want, Anders? I thought I made it clear, we will see at dinner?" I sharply say with a raised brow.
"Yes, uhm..." He hesitates and then clears his throat, looking embarrassed. His eyes, darting everywhere inside my living room, avoiding mine.
I wonder what is making him so uncomfortable till I realize I opened the door without taking care of the huge tent my dick makes inside my sport pant.
'Fucking hell! How could I be so careless? What if it was Ella at the door!?'
Instead of going back to the room to take care of it, I sit on the couch opposite him.
"So I have a boner. I'm sure you also have one every morning, it's not really a big deal. Just ignore it and tell me what you want. We're preparing for dinner. I don't want to keep people waiting." I shamelessly say.
He clears his throat again before picking up an old book that's on the chair beside him. He puts it on the table between us before opening a page,
"Immediately I left here, I went to do a quick research about dreams and visions. I'm afraid Thor, that the Seer is indeed right about his trauma theory..."
He points at a place that he already marked with red pen and starts to read out loud since I didn't bother to stand up from where I'm sitting
"The Luna's condition is known as dream delusion. Sometimes it happens when memories are induced by the experience of a vivid dream. Other times it..."
"Anders, Anders, Anders... We already established the fact that the seer was right! I really don't want to know the content of your little book if it doesn't tell me more than what I already know to be the fact. So kindly skip, skip, skip the part I already know and go to the part I don't know."
"Yes of course. Sorry..." He says closing the book. "The part you don't know is where it says, letting the person continue living in the little world they created for themselves is very dangerous and could lead to a serious mental disorder. Schizophrenia to be specific. Which means you have to wake her up as soon as possible."
I hear the urgency in his voice and I nod in agreement.
"I'll wake her up immediately after dinner. Can it wait till then?"
"Yes. The book says it can't be more than forty-eight hours. I guess the earlier the better right?"
"Sure. After dinner then. Thanks, man."
"Of course..." He says and stands up with his book in hand.
"Oh, another important thing that I should have talked to you about, it totally slipped my mind. I'm sorry."
"Okay? What is it?"
"Uhmm... She just miscarried today Thor! How can– I mean you both cannot be intimate with each other this soon! You need to wait for at least two weeks after the bleeding has stopped before resuming sex. You– I– I mean I need to..." He swallows the rest of his words and gestures with his hand toward the door, hurrying to it when he sees the look in my eyes.
'I didn't push for sex, she seduced me, idiot!'
