The Fight For Light

Chapter 18 Getting Comfortable

Persephone's POV

We walk into his dedicated room and everything is carved from wood but I don't mind because I love the sweet scent and beautiful look it has. I keep wandering around the room checking out all the details I can see while enjoying the scent of my mate on everything in here.

But he tells me to get more comfortable, so I'm just wondering how he expects me to do that, when I really don't have anything to take off or change into to get more comfortable.. I'm as comfortable as it gets right now.

So since I don't have anything but my satchel really, I just slip it off over my head and hanging it off the bed post on the corner of the bed. I slowly sit down on the edge of his bed not knowing where else to sit as I wait for him to get back to me. He quickly gets back to me and stands in front, holding a couple articles of clothing in his hands extended to me.

"Ok so.. I'm sorry.. I don't have anything for women at all, but I'm sure I can talk with my sisters to get you something in case you want more.. They have a way with making amazing clothing.. but for the time being, I do have some of my items you could wear if you wanted." He states as I smile taking the cloth from his hands as I quickly slip my clothing off right in front of him. I watch his mouth drop so far open it could hit down to the floor if that was ever possible.. making me smile big at that reaction.

That at least means he is liking what I have, which is a huge confidence booster for myself. because I don't know what he likes or prefers since he is not only a different species but gender as well.. even more confusing than I originally imagined. I watch his eyes pan from my feet all the way to my perky breasts, getting stuck on those for a moment before his mouth opens more if that was possible but nothing seems to come out. His eyes pan up to mine as I watch his mouth quickly shut while his face turns to a darker shade of red, that could put a tomato to shame.

"Wha.. um.. ya.." He stutters out just staring at me, not knowing what to say.. is he embaressed or something? I don't understand why he is so nervous sounding. "Are you ok? You act like you haven't seen me before but you already have.. and you're my mate, so I thought this was fine.. but if you don't like this with me, then I can make sure to not do that again.. whatever you want.. I would hate to make you uncomfortable or offend you at all." I state shyly to him for crossing lines without even meaning to, I just already feel comfortable around him and I thought he felt the same.

"That's the farthest thing from what I'm really thinking.. You could stay like that every day for as long as you want around me and the only issue is that I would have to ravish that amazing body of yours if you do, every single time I see it... So that might take up a lot of our time but I would make it worth it.. We would only have that much fun as much as you are willing to show it.. This sight makes me want to do so many things to you.. and now it's almost uncontrollable to hold Milo back from marking you." He states to me as he shakes his head and pacing around the room, running his hand through his hair.

He turns away from me for a moment looking more stressed out than before.. He needs to relax before he over thinks things. So I quickly put the shirt he gave me on.. It's so huge that it drapes to almost my knees because of the size difference.

"Is that better? You know.. So you can make eye contact with me? Well without your wolf.. hounding you." I playfully say as he groans out and states to himself, but I still heard it, "I want to do so much more than just eye contact.. holy moon goddess.." I can just hear him letting out another deep breath before adding.

"It's not you I swear.. I just... love all of that.. You look too amazing to ignore, but I am a man of my word and determined to do anything to make sure you're not uncomfortable.. So I promise no matter how much Milo wants to take advantage of this.. I won't let him.. " He explains to me as if he has to.. but the thing is, that I have never felt threatened or pressured by him and that's what scared me more than anything else. I just willingly do whatever because of how great he makes me feel just when he is near.

I have always had my guard up with any being I come into contact with, no matter what it is, because there is good and bad in everyone.. and with me being a light creature I have to be more prepared for trickery.. but with him I instinctively want to bring down that wall and just be with him in any way I can.

Just being in his atmosphere is absolutely intoxicating.. making me crave for as much as he will give me.. I just have no idea what I'm doing or how this is suppose to work for us since I'm so different than what he is use to.

So I sit back down on the bed and leaning over across it to get closer to him since he is still pacing on the other side of the bed now. "You don't have to explain right now, but thank you.. just for your information though, I'm not worried.. I have never felt pressured or threatened at all by either of you.. now come over here and just let me help you try to relax." I say patting the bed next to me as he eagerly sits down without me even asking twice.

I reach over and rubbing over his whole back with the tips of my nails lightly. I notice his eyes rolling back as he just enjoys my touch. I scoot close across the bed because this is the most comfortable surface I have ever sat on so I don't want to get off of it.. why would he ever leave this. I scoot until I'm sitting directly behind him with my legs wrapped around his back, just so I have access to his full back.

I continue to draw pictures across his open back and smooth skin to enjoy just touching him as much as I can. He is one magnificent being that I don't mind being near or touching one bit. I don't know how I got so lucky to obtain something so mystifying but I can tell you this much, I'm the lucky one out of us.

"Are you feeling more relaxed?" I ask him softly from behind since we're in such close proximity now.. causing him to nod before groaning out sounding almost like a moan. "This is amazing and somehow just what I needed to calm down.. You're amazing for knowing what I want, especially when I don't even know that.. The only issue is I'm getting tired now since you're relaxing me so much."

"Well of course, I'm your mate.. I'm saying that as if it really helps but I don't know if it does.. Honestly.. But you can stay here with me as long as you want to.. How would you ever want to get off of this featherly cloud-like bed when relaxing anyways.. Just lay down with me and I'll continue to rub your back.. It's been a long couple days for us both, so just let this serene moment take hold and carry you away." I instruct him as I move back and out of the way so he can lay down.

He turns around looking back at me with a big smirk gracing his features. "You like this bed that much?" He asks me curiously.. but I won't lie to him.. "Yes I have never been on anything like this.. I live on the run, so it's not like I'm carrying this around or anything.. but it's not as bad as it sounds.. I'm a real outdoorsy woman so I don't mind it but this is something in it's own category.. So yes this is amazing." I say bouncing on the bed like a little youngling, with so much excitement in my movements.. creating a laugh from him that instantly puts a face-splitting smile on my face.

"Well we can spend as much time as we can in bed if you want.. I don't mind one bit." He says in the sexiest tone I have ever heard sending a chill up my spine.. Which makes me nervously laugh the silliest giggle I have ever created... Why does he make me feel so giddy with everything he says? I get so many butterflies in my stomach just by any idea of doing anything in bed with him even if it's just laying here like this.

"I wouldn't mind that one bit either.. no matter what we are doing." I state to him as we both just seem to lay down on our own as if this moment was synchronized. I can see his features turning nervous so I grab the blanket at our feet of the bed, draping it over the both of our bodies. "Turn around handsome so I can help you get the much needed relaxation and sleep that you deserve." I sweetly suggest to him as he nods and turns so I'm now facing his back.

I start once again caressing over his back letting the comfortable silence consume us. After a little while of this comforting touch I can hear a light snoring coming from him, creating a big smile in knowing I could help him out like this.. but I'm tired as well so it's my turn now to try to relax enough to sleep.

I snuggle up to his muscular back, loving the body heat radiating from him, making me more content than before. I slowly sneak my arm around his body just wanting to hold him to help myself sleep. His scent seems to fill my senses and calming me right as I breath it in.

I close my eyes just relaxing as much as I am able to, in this new place with him.. It's a little nerve racking staying in this new place I have never been before, so hard for me to relax.. but it's comforting knowing we have our own closed off area and with him at my side literally.. I don't feel worried at all after thinking about those details.

I snuggle more into his back just loving his scent more and more, the longer I smell it. Before I even know it I'm consumed by the lulling darkness, covered in his scent and I willingly go, because this is the place I need to be for my sanity.
