Calib’s Pov:
I watched as she got into the bath, and I felt envious of the water. I wanted her so badly in burned through my veins. It took all of my willpower not to take her and mark her, but I couldn’t; not if it would mean Ruben finds us, and I would definitely take it out on Aine. Still, we couldn’t rely on her power, it was so new and unpredictable. The only thing I could do to protect her was to keep her unmarked and unmated.
At about 12am, I quietly walked into the little cottage, her scent and the scent of roses wafted in the cottage, and I inhaled deeply, trying to make it a part of me.
I heard her rhythmic breathing, and I knew she was fast asleep. I stood over her, my body aching to be with her, to be in her, to make her mine.
I swallowed loudly and slowly moved my eyes
