Chapter 7

Jupiter watched his mate sleep. After their long night outside, hunting for her and then feeding her his kill, he’d carried her home where they made love until dawn. He was tired himself, but he’d only slept a few hours before waking. His cat was anxious for what the night would bring. He’d been surprised by how close he felt to her already. When he was hunting the rabbit, he’d been torn between not wanting to be away from her and continuing the tradition. It might’ve been the fastest he’d ever hunted. Pride had filled him as he used his claws to strip thin pieces of meat from the skewer and then fed her by hand. He was proud of her for not being entirely grossed-out by the process. It certainly wasn’t normal in her world.

His phone buzzed and he grabbed it off the nightstand. A text from his dad told him that the pride wanted to eat lunch together as a group, the start of a new tradition.

He texted Caesar that Celeste was still resting, but they would be ready in two hours for the group lunch. Setting his phone down on the nightstand, he settled back against his mate, curling around her and inhaling her scent.

Although he didn’t fall back asleep, he did spend the time thinking about the future. When Celeste woke up, stretching with a squeak and blinking still-sleepy eyes at him, he smiled and kissed her forehead.

“Hey,” she said, her voice still rough from their pleasurable night.

“Hey yourself,” he said. “We’re supposed to meet the pride for lunch, but you can sleep a little longer if you’d like.”

“I’m good,” she said, yawning as she turned into him and rested her cheek on his bicep. “Please tell me I can take a shower.”

He laughed. “Only if you let me help wash your back.”

“Is that all you want to wash?” she asked, peeking up at him, her lovely blue eyes darkening. He kissed her and then scooped her into his arms, climbing from the bed and carrying her into the bathroom.

“Eager?” she teased as he set her on the floor and pushed the shower curtain back.

“To see you wet and naked? Hell yes.”

After they made love and washed each other thoroughly, he gave her one of his long-sleeved shirts to borrow and she put on her jeans, tying his shirt at her waist and running a brush through her long hair.

“So what happens today?” she asked as she took his hand and they left the house.

“Lunch first, and then we need to harvest some items for tonight. The park is open today, of course, so we’ll be on our own until after it closes, and then there will be a ceremony and the pride will leave us alone topside.”

They walked to his dad’s house, which was slightly larger than all the rest. Jupiter knocked once and opened the front door, leading Celeste to the kitchen where a large table had been set. Platters of roasted meats
