Chapter 9
Dominick
I woke up to find the other side of the bed already cold and empty. I pouted, but after our first week at our new home, this had become the norm. I sighed as I slipped out of the bed and headed for the bathroom, scratching my hair as I let out a yawn.
John was busy, and after our short honeymoon, he’d gone back to his usual schedule. He was always up earlier than I could stand, but I was slowly growing used to staying up a little later so we could have dinner together. There were nights we made love, and there were nights where we were both wiped out, so we just fell asleep in each other’s arms.
Life had somewhat fallen into place in the month since I’d left home, and while I missed my old pack, I couldn’t say I was still homesick. This was my home now, and more than just settling for it, I loved it. John was treating me better and better, and while he hadn't said he loved me, I knew he cared for me, and it was enough for now.
After my shower, I left the bathroom with a towel wrapped around me. I picked out a change of clothes as I wiped myself down, pausing a little to look at the marks left on me. I healed fast as long as it was little things, so a lot of evidence from our nightly activities was gone when I woke up in the morning. Last night, though…my face flushed and I tugged on my clothes quickly.
I wasn’t quite sure what came over me, but I had been especially…needy last night. Actually, it wasn’t only last night, and John had indulged me as he always did. Frankly, I was worried he’d just spoil me like my pack did, but it wasn’t the kind of spoiling I hated, so it was fine. It was like my hormones were out of whack, and I had noticed it for a few days now, but I didn’t know who to ask about it. I did have a few ideas…but I wasn’t sure. I would have to wait for my heat, that should be due soon, and we would see then.
John didn’t know about any of my suspicions. He was at the base most of the day for work, and I didn’t want to distract him. From what he’d told me about his job as a combat specialist, he essentially trained new recruits and ran drills with the veterans at the base, and it was a daily thing, unless something happened. He had Sundays free, but not always, and when he was free he used the time to relax.
Once I was dressed, I left the bedroom and headed down the stairs. In the kitchen, there was a covered plate on the dining table with a yellow sticky note stuck on top of it. I pulled off the note, then uncovered the plate. My mouth watered. It was full off eggs and bacon and sausages and chicken strips, basically a lot of meat.
