CHAPTER NINETEEN

Present Day

The sun was beaming into the bedroom, warming the already comfortable space and making Julie feel the urge to check the clock. She didn't open her eyes right away, she wanted to savor the feeling of being in Xander's arms.

For several minutes she lay thinking about how glad she was that she had allowed her feelings for him to show. The attraction to him was undeniable. They appeared to have a bond that she had never experienced before. She grinned at the very idea of it but knew in her heart it was true; he was her mate. Her true fated mate. As Xander continued to sleep, she carefully pulled away from him and turned to check the clock on her bedside table.

"Oh my God is that really the time?" Julie exclaimed in a whisper, moving to sit up. They had stayed up until sunrise talking among other things, until they had finally fallen asleep in each other's arms.

She glanced over at Xander and bit her lip. They had been working together for a while now and had gotten to know one another but the past twenty-four hours had escalated their relationship from a good night kiss to sleeping together. She hoped he would not regret it; she certainly didn't.

Xander rubbed his eyes and turned to face Julie. He smiled warmly.

"Good Morning," he said.

Julie smiled. "Hi. Did you sleep okay?"

Xander laughed lightly and sat up with his back to the headboard. "Yes. Very well."

"Good. Me too. I hope you don't find this awkward...I mean I was feeling a little...out of sorts with all..." Julie began to say.

Xander put up a hand to stop her. "Last night was great...I mean once we got back here. I don't regret anything we did. I invited myself over to make sure you were safe. I didn't expect this but I'm not complaining," he said earnestly.

Julie felt her cheeks burn a little and she tucked her hair behind her ears.

"Good. I didn't want you to think I jump into bed with every vampire that I see."

Xander laughed and moved toward her touching her arm and stroking it tenderly.

"I hope you don't regret last night?" He asked softly while looking at her with his big brown eyes.

Julie shook her head and gave a small smile.

"No regret whatsoever," she murmured.

Julie threw back the blanket and prepared to get up. It was early afternoon and they had slept most of the day. Before she could get out of bed, Xander spoke.

"We don't have to work today, what's the rush?" He asked casually as he continued to stroke her.

Julie grinned back at him. The way he was looking at her left her longing to fall back under the blankets with him. He was so damn hot and sexy.

"I know, but Jake wanted me to call him and I have a few other things I would like to do today. Aren't you the least bit curious how the rest of the interrogations went last night? I want to know if any of the scientists from that facility we raided know where Doctor Green is.
