Onward

I woke to the warmth of the morning sun on my face. Stretching, but not opening my eyes, I basked in the heat of the sun and the glow of my own happiness. I turned onto my side and cracked my eyes open. Cade lay next to me, his elbow propped to support his head as he watched me intently. My eyes met his and he grinned. I felt my cheeks flush as the memories of the night before bubbled to the surface.

Cade reached out a hand and brushed my cheek, his silent words blooming across my mind, I love this.

What?

Your blush.

Of course, that only made me blush harder. Guess my great epiphany about an early death had only scared my old self into hiding. Easily embarrassed Meghan was back in full force.

Cade dipped his head and kissed my arm where the faelah had scratched me. I had almost forgotten about it.

How are you this morning? I didn’t hurt you last night, did I?

His words were tinged with the pale orange color of concern.

I smiled. I knew he wasn't talking about my arm. No, you didn’t hurt me and I couldn't be happier.

Cade’s answering smile melted my heart. He pulled me close and pressed his lips to my temple.

Do you know how long I've dreamed about this moment?

No, tell me.

Since the night you were attacked by the Cumorrig, the first time we met, when you sat in the dirt, your nightgown bunched up around your waist, giving me a wonderful view of your long legs.

I gasped and punched him in mock outrage. It was a good thing he liked my tendency to blush because I could feel the heat spreading across my face again. Cade caught my hand and kissed my palm.

You were terrified Meghan, but even then I knew you had spirit; that you were made of something more. That, all the Celtic gods willing, I had finally, finally, found another Faelorehn who could understand me and maybe one day grow to love me.

I bit my cheek as hot tears spilled from my eyes.

I love you Meghan. I love you so very much, he sent to me, his thoughts smothered in bliss.

I sighed contentedly and snuggled up against his chest, reveling in how warm his bare skin felt against my own. Last night had been wonderful, scary and nerve-wracking and absolutely wonderful. When we had first entered Cade's room and he'd set me on his bed, I had sensed that uncharacteristic violence in him once again. As the night progressed, however, that darkness behind his eyes and beneath his skin slowly melted away, our glamour flaring up and mingling together as we let go of everything but each other. The sensation had taken my breath away and I wondered, what with the fact that my self-control had been all but absent last night, how I had managed to keep that other well of magic silent. A miracle. It must have been some sort of miracle.

Taking a deep breath, I decided now was as good a time as any to ask Cade about that strange darkness.
