Unbroken

Lucifer.

I awake under silk sheets, completely engulfed in Dane’s scent. He was no longer next to me but I knew he was close. Thankfully it was Sunday, my one day off during the week. I always planned to take more time off for myself I just never got around to it. I scroll through the texts from Kai, she clearly had an amazing night with Daphne after we parted ways. Kai was never one to choose a partner based on gender. She’s always said she falls in love with people, not body parts. I admired her for that. She was always authentically herself.

I was smiled while reading the blow by blow Kai detailed to me through text. Dane emerged from the other room and quickly jumped onto the bed next to me sending my phone flying out of my hands. All I could do was laugh as I watched it bounce to the floor landing face down.

“Good morning beautiful, I’ve been waiting for those gorgeous eyes to open!”

I close my eyes and throw my hands to my face covering them as I lay back on the soft pillow. He eagerly throws himself on top of me, straddling me in nothing but grey sweatpants. I couldn’t resist peeking through my hands to admire his ripped body.

“Not today Miss Alder, I want to see those captivating eyes that are all mine.” He playfully takes both of my wrists and places them beside my head held under his incredible strength. He leans in and plants one of the softest kisses in my lips I have ever felt. I immediately feel feral. I am ready to be ravaged again and again by this man. Dane must have seen my shift in attitude as I notice his eyes shift colors. I’m not sure I will ever get used to seeing someone’s eyes shift between colors, but it at least gave me a solid indication of what Dane was feeling.

**KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK**

Three solid raps on the door and those steel grey eyes are blue once more. He slowly removes himself from me never breaking eye contact. He methodically pulls a black t shirt over his chiseled stomach biting his lip as he pulls it down and tucks it slightly into the front of his sweatpants. My eyes can’t help but follow his hand and now I can’t take my eyes off his perfectly defined package.I realize I’m stuck and immediately shift my eyes to his.

Grey again.

I feel all of my desire build in my core. He can’t leave right now, right?

His eyes swirl back to their normal beautiful blue,

“Later my love,” he winks and turns exciting the room through the door the knocks came from.

Shit can he read my mind now? Do wolves have other.. powers? I’m sure they have some sort of heightened sense, how heightened I’m sure I’ll never know.

I thought briefly that I should just stay in this bed for the rest of my life. Nothing would be better than being wrapped in Dane’s sheets for eternity. I do, however, have a cat at home who I’m sure was ready for breakfast. Well technically he wasn’t ‘my’ cat but he came to my fire escape window every morning. And I maybe bought him food. And bowls. And named him. But Lucifer was a street cat through and through. I’d never force him to stay inside my tiny apartment all day for the rest of his life. Even though I really did wish he would stay. He is the most gorgeous cat I have ever seen and so docile. His short black fur is still pillowy soft and his eyes are the brightest shade of Kelly green.

As much as I never wanted my time to end with Dane, I had to take care of a few things. I slide off the bed and search for anything else to wear that is not last nights dress. I quickly find a pair of black jogger sweat pants and throw them on only to realize they are probably Dane’s and 4 sizes too big. Oh well, they are going to have to do. I tie the draw strings as tight as they will go leaving the waist of the pants fall slightly below my hip bones. I grab a plain grey tshirt and tie it up in the front in hopes of making sure my body didn’t look like a completely unflattering rectangle if I seen Dane on my way out. I run my fingers through my hair and wipe off any remaining makeup from my face as I turn to exit the same way Dane left. I quietly turn the handle and step into the hall connecting the bedroom to the main room of the suite. I don’t bother shutting the door behind me. The less noise I make the better, I don’t want to interrupt whatever important business Dane might be conducting. I am able to make it to the suite doors but am met with two towering men in the same spot I had seen them last. They looked at each other then back at me. I kept my head down and walked past them through the doors and towards the elevator. That was easier than I expected, not that I expected them to hold me hostage or anything.

I’m able to make it back to my apartment pretty uneventfully, bumping into Colby on my way up the staircase. He wasn’t as cheerful as usual, just giving me a passing ‘hey’ as we crossed paths. Not really like him, but maybe he had a long night. I know I did.

As I walk through my door I turn back and latch the deadbolt, I can already hear Lucifer pawing my window. I unlatch the lock and allow my tiny gentleman to stroll inside. He finds his usual perch on my counter as I refill his bowl with his favorite canned food and top off his water dish. He wastes no time and licks the bowl clean before my coffee maker has time to fill my cup.

I plop on my bed and pull my fluffy with comforter over my lap. Lucifer stalks my way and gracefully pounces into the middle of my lap where he carefully starts prodding the soft blanket. Once he’s comfortable I switch on my small tv for some background noise and start to scroll my phone. I immediately see a text from a number I don’t recognize under the name D♥️.

‘Em where did you go?’

‘Did you make it home safe?’

‘I wish you would have let me take you’

Obviously Dane decided to add himself under my contacts. It had only been 15 minutes since his last text, I must not have seen my phone light up while I was getting Luce his food.

‘Sorry, I didn’t want to interrupt anything. I had to come home to feed my cat’

I send him a picture of my little black fur blob in my lap. He’s cuddled so tight he just looks like a little fluff ball with green eyes. I’m smiling down at him as I hear a knock on my front door.

*KNOCK KNOCK*
