Chapter Twelve – Nadine

He had awoken something inside of her. The creature, her constant if eternally hidden companion, seemed different, closer to her consciousness than ever before. It watched from the corners of her mind, just beyond her reach. Part of her wanted to try to reach inside and touch it, just as she taught her patients to reach inside and touch the other part of themselves. Then Kurt kissed her shoulder and the creature backed away.

"This is not how I expected this evening to end," he said, pulling her closer and kissing her shoulder. "I expected to be at home, with my mom making me a cup of hot cocoa."

She turned in his arms and faced him, stroking his cheek and then kissing his lips. "I'm so happy you moved out of the hospital. How is your family now? I know your mom visited you while you were in hospital, although for a while she wasn’t allowed to see you. But she told me your sister wanted nothing more to do with you."

He sighed. "I didn't blame her. I behaved like a terrible jerk. But she came round. Part of it was because she met her mate and he encouraged her to see me. He's a good man."

"So are you, Kurt. One mistake doesn’t make you bad for the rest of your life."

"You are biased in that department. But I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself." He paused and then added, "I haven't been able to summon my wolf since then. I think I'm too scared it will take control and I'll be stuck again."

"Does it matter to you?" They were the same in that respect, neither of them able to change, and she wondered how it affected him.

"No. And yes. Earlier, when that thug had his hands on you, I wanted to rip his throat out. But I couldn't let myself go. I don't trust myself."

"Will you let me help you? I'm sure between us we can tame your wolf."

"I would like that." He kissed her, awakening her arousal again. She didn't know if she would ever get enough of him. "What about you?" he murmured and she froze in his arms.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"What sort of delicious creature are you? I can sense it within you, and you feel the mating bond between us, so I would love to know what exactly you are, Nadine Dury, other than the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." His mouth stopped teasing her and he pulled back to look at her, his forehead creased into a frown. "I'm sorry, I've upset you. It doesn’t matter, if you don’t want to tell me."

He looked hurt, but he quickly flattened his expression and smiled. She could tell him she didn't want to tell him, she could even tell him that he had it wrong, she was just a normal woman who knew about the other side but wasn't part of that world, or she could just say, "I don't know.
