Only Their Love

Breakfast and Bodycon

ROWA'S POV

Ebony and I woke late, the sun was up and beaming through the cottage window making a prism rainbow on the opposite wall. We kissed and held each other before her grumbling tummy made me feel guilty and I dragged us out of bed. I had stopped myself looking at her when she got undressed the night before, but I couldn't help admiring her long, tanned, muscular legs when she stretched.

We made our way down the stairs and she opened the curtains. Toto stirred but put his head back down, not ready to get up yet. I used the bathroom, showered quickly and brushed my teeth. Looking in the mirror, I felt I looked a little different. My hair was all over the place and my eyes were a little puffy, but I felt I looked stronger. Perhaps it was that I had stood up to Dave, or perhaps I was full of confidence because of the beauty who was somehow drooling over me every time I caught her looking at me, but either way, I liked it.

I heard a clatter in the kitchen, pulled a clean band-shirt and underwear on and made my way out to find her rooting in the cupboard under the counter. I leaned against the door frame and cleared my throat, watching her amusedly. She lifted her head and banged it on the inside of the cupboard. I giggled and rushed forward, falling on my knees to her.

'Stupid f**king cupboard.' She muttered, rubbing her head. I tried to stop giggling but I couldn't. She pushed me and I fell onto my bum and she started to giggle too. 'Ow!' I exclaimed and she started to laugh too. 'Serves you right for laughing at me when I'm trying to cook you breakfast!'

I smiled and accepted her hand as she pulled me up and kissed me softly. A small moan escaped my lips and my hands reached up to her face. 'You taste like peaches. I don't have any peaches.' I said, wondering how she had acquired the taste. It didn't matter, I loved it and I wanted more but her tummy growled again and I felt the need to feed her.

'I'll make breakfast before you demolish my kitchen! Is bacon, sausage, eggs and toast ok?' I asked. She nodded eagerly and I made myself busy in the kitchen. Ebony moved around my home like she had been here before. She opened the curtains and windows and let Toto out into the woods to relieve himself. She went into the bathroom to shower and freshen up and I turned on the radio.

Twenty minutes later, I was plating up whilst singing and dancing along to Let's Hear it for the Boy. I put the plates on the coffee table to see Ebony at the door of the bathroom, wrapped in a fluffy towel and with a grin on her face. 'How long have you been watching?' I scowled at her and then stuck my tongue out playfully.

'Long enough to see what all of the men in Spicer's last night missed out on. I most definitely wish to see you dance for me one day, Rowa, and perhaps I'll dance for you too.' she smiled and plonked herself down on my sofa. I grabbed the coffee off the counter, handed it to her and plonked myself down in a chair. Her playful mood was contagious.

'Eat!' I encouraged her and reached for my plate. We ate and played 20 questions. Her taste was quite old-fashioned, which I loved. Her favorite movie was The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and her favorite song was I Want To Walk You Home by Fats Domino. Her favorite color was teal, drink was whiskey, food was pad Thai and book was Jane Eyre. Her favorite car was a Rolls Royce Phantom and her favorite place to visit was Paris but I didn't quite believe her when she said that.

We cleaned up the kitchen together and I went up to get dressed whilst she flicked through a magazine Millie had left on the sofa.

EBONY'S POV

Breakfast had been divine, my beauty knew how to cook and make the most simple meal taste like manna from the Gods. Watching her dance had been wonderful, the change in her from last night was incredible. Her confidence had grown and she seemed even more radiant than yesterday.

I know now that her favorite movie was To Wong Foo, she has too many favorite songs, color was purple, drink was a bramble, food was a roast beef dinner and place to visit was somewhere in Ireland from her childhood. She didn't know where about or what it was called, just that she was happy there and that it was green and lush and beautiful.

We must find out what Ebony is. She could taste your scent. It must be magic, or something like it, it's breaking because of your bond. Whatever she is, there is something suppressing her. Something is fighting to get out. We need to take her home.

Aurora was right and I knew it, I just didn't want to admit it.The sooner I took her home, the sooner she would be overwhelmed by what I was, by my brother and his beast. 'Aurora, I don't want to scare her. She's going to think I'm insane if I tell her the truth.'

I know Ebony, but she was created for us by the Moon Goddess and she makes no mistakes. If she couldn't handle it, she wouldn't be ours. Believe in her, she will understand.

I nodded silently and Aurora settled in my mind.

Rowa came down the stairs in light blue jeans, a white vest top with a purple gingham short sleeved shirt over it. She wore white wedge sandals on her feet and I noticed she had purple paint on her toenails. I looked at her in wonder, still not able to believe she was my mate. She was a vision.

'I left some clothes out on the bed that might fit but I don't really think they're your style. They're small on me, I'm quite a bit bigger than you, so they'll probably drown you.' she mumbled and her face flushed red. Rage flashed through me at her putting herself down. I rushed to get off the sofa and my towel fell to the ground, but I didn't care.

Rowa's eyes widened and her mouth opened at the sight of my naked body, but she quickly snapped her eyes shut. I touched her face and told her to open her eyes. They stared into mine and I could see my reflection in them. 'I never want to hear you talk negatively about yourself again, Rowa. You are perfection. Your body is my Eden. I can not wait to adore every curve, every bump, every mark and blemish. You are sublime.'

Her eyes filled with tears and her bottom lip trembled, but she nodded. I kissed it softly and could taste the saltiness of her tears as they fell. I could feel her relax against me and I ached to show her how much I loved her but I needed to wait, to be patient. My brother and I needed to love her together to solidify the bond we have been gifted by the goddess.

I pulled away from her and wiped her tears. 'I'll get dressed and then, perhaps I can take you out for the day?' I asked. She smiled and nodded. Some sadness was still present in her eyes, but I knew that it would take time to let her see how glorious she was in my eyes.

I grabbed my towel and ran upstairs. Rowa was right, none of the clothes were my taste but they smelled of her and I would live in the rose-printed body con sundress I pulled on, every day, for the rest of my life if it meant she would be mine. My shoes even matched the dress I noticed as I gathered my things. 'Come on Aurora, let's show Rowa the best day of her life so far.'

Dressed like that?

'F**k no! Not if I can help it!' I snapped back. 'We'll maybe go shopping first. Despite looking absolutely amazing in everything and probably nothing, Rowa doesn't have many clothes. Most have another's scent on them, so I think they're second hand.'

Aurora huffed and stamped her feet.

Mate deserves the finest of everything.

I nodded in agreement and took one last glance at myself in the mirror and screwed up my face. 'Eugh, I hope we don't meet anyone I know!' I commented to Aurora and she laughed at me as we ran down the stairs to spend the first day of the rest of our lives with our amazing mate.
