Chapter Twenty-Three

Selena

Warmth surrounded me as I woke. My head rested on something soft. Cracking an eye, the light coming through the curtains told me it was morning. I was tucked against Xylo’s side, his arm holding me close, our legs tangled, his vines enclosing us in the warmth of the blanket.

I couldn't recall how I’d gotten here.

“Xylo?”

A growl and Xylo jerked awake, jackknifing to an upright position, tossing me to the mattress beside him. His vines spread wide in a protective stance as his eyes wildly scanned the room.

“What’s wrong, Xylo?” I whispered.

He looked down at me lying in bed, surprised. “I thought you were in danger.”

I scrunched my face and eyed him. “Umm... Why would I be?”

He wrapped his vines back around his torso, then laid down beside me, pulling me into his side. “I do not know what that was about. I woke up with a sudden need to protect you.”

Not knowing what to say, I simply cuddled next to him in silence, thinking. Realizing one-on-one time to get to know one another would soon be interrupted by the delivery of my cubs, I decided to spend as much time now as I could getting to Xylo.

“What was last night about?”

Giving me a squeeze, he said, “You tell me.”

I blushed as I tried to hide my face against his chest. “I enjoyed myself. I hope I didn’t get carried away.”

He turned on his side, facing me. Searching my eyes, he said with feeling, “Carried away? It is I who should apologize for getting carried away with you, not you. I could not control myself last night. Not with how you smelled and tasted. Your thoughts of arousal and what you wished for me to do to you combined with your exploring...” He shivered. “When you did not wake, I feared I had done something wrong.”

Placing my hand on his cheek, I smiled at him. “You didn’t. I’ve never done what we did last night, and it felt like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I think I just passed out from the pleasure. It surprised me to wake up this morning entangled with you and realize I’d slept away the night.”

“Are you sure? I still do not know what came over me.”

“I’m sure. Perhaps it has to do with me not you. But it was good. I hope we can always feel free to explore with one another.” My stomach growled. “Perhaps we should get out of bed and get some breakfast before Kaede comes banging on our door.”
