Chapter 104
Everything faded when Rhys sent me over the edge. The was no more pain. No more feelings, just absolute pure bliss. I had had very few moments in my life that had made me feel this way, but Rhys was giving me more and more.
“How are you feeling, babe?” Rhys asked, his hand running up and down my side.
“I don’t think the word perfect even begins to describe how I feel,” I told him honestly. “I felt kind of weird when I woke up, and then I don’t know. I think I’ve gone through every emotion in the book today, but right now 1 feel perfect. Like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
“I’m glad you feel that way.” Rhys answered with a kiss. “Because I also feel like I am exactly where I need to be.”
I smiled at him as he brushed some my escaped strands of hair from my face.
“I told Alana to stock the fridge on our floor with all your favorite snacks.” Rhys said, “She told me that it’s all there, and she stocked your favorite drinks as well. I also had her deliver us a blanket warmer, so if you are looking to be more cozy you can be.”
I frowned. All that sounded nice, but I didn’t like the one part he wasn’t saying…
“Are you going somewhere?” I asked after a long moment.
“Unfortunately, yes,” He answered with a sad look. “We planned the pack hunt for tonight to celebrate our mateship. I don’t want–it to look like anything is wrong, so I have to go.”
“But Rhys, you never stay…. Plus, don’t you think it will look weird that I don’t attend?” I asked. “I mean since the ceremony is supposed to be about the two of us??
“Maybe a little, but they know you’re bound, so you wouldn’t have necessarily been able to participate in the pack hunt, so I’m not sure what to expect if I’m being honest. You would only have been able to participate in the party aspect of it.” He explained.
“I can go.” I told him. I wanted to go. This was supposed to be for us both…
“You heard Sawyer,” Rhys argued as he got up. “You are supposed to be resting.”
“I don’t think Sawyer would have approved of sex then,” I pouted.
“No, he probably wouldn’t have for a variety of reasons,” Rhys agreed,much to my disdain. “But we did it, and now you’re tired, and I have to go.”
He pecked my lips as I pouted, and I wanted to deepen it, but he pulled away too quickly, leaving me wanting more.
“I have guards arranged to protect you and if you need anything at all, just call for one of them, but keep the door locked otherwise. I will see you later,” Rhys smiled, and then he shut the door, and he was gone.
I closed my eyes. Rhys was right. I was exhausted. Everything inside me was exhausted, and I found myself drifting off into an uneasy sleep.
Around midnight though I woke up from the weirdest dream. It was already fading from my memory, but it had been so vivid. So real. So terri reached for Rhys, but he was still gone. I was getting really sick of waking up in an empty bed every time I fell asleep. I also was beginning to think that Rhys just never slept. He ran on only a few hours if any for as long as I’ve known him. It couldn’t possibly be healthy, but yet I’m the one who gets lectured,
My mind shifted again to being poisoned, my own unease about being alone right now growing. I thought about going to wake Sawyer or Alana, but then I realized they were probably at the pack run celebration. I also thought about going to find a guard and having them tell Rhys to come home, but I didn’t…
