Chapter Eleven

Courtney woke the following morning to the sound of birds singing outside her open window, and church bells ringing in the far distance. She stretched, feeling safe and secure in the little nest of pillows that she had been carefully placed in. Her body felt rested, relaxed, and a tad sore in certain areas. She blushed, remembering the activities of the previous night.

“Good morning, my darling,” Marcas said, entering her room without knocking and carrying a tray. “Did you sleep well?”

“You wore me out. Again. Too much for one day. It seems I’m destined to pass out on you every time we make love.” Courtney grinned, purring over the cup of hot tea he had poured for her. “Thank you. This is delicious.”

“Let us check your sugars and then you may eat.”

“You know, I am very capable of doing this on my own.” Courtney rolled her eyes as he snatched her finger in his hand. He kissed the tip and tilted his head, handing her the meter. She frowned and rechecked her levels. Without a word, she recalibrated the meter and checked a third time.

“Is this bad?” Marcas asked with concern.

“I think my glucometer is broken. This is like the third day I’ve gotten normal readings. I ate Solphia’s pastry last night and I know we all had wine and cheese before bed. I should be soaring out of control right now.”

“Can you have the machine tested?”

“Do you have a local physician who I can visit to get a blood draw? Good, let’s get me in right away. Also, we can have him check your eyes. Those contacts seem to be working well for you,” she stated, injecting her insulin despite the levels. When he did not answer, she tapped his arm. “Are you having problems with them that you aren’t sharing with me? Out with it.”

“No. The truth is that I have not worn them since our first time together as man and woman.”

Courtney frowned, shaking her head. “How can you go from being so photosensitive to being normal in a couple of days? That makes no sense.”

“It is you. You have lifted that part of the curse. You gave me eyes to see myself as I really am,” he answered quietly.

“Ok, sweetheart, listen up. I’m having enough of a problem dealing with the fact that my lover splits in half when the sun goes down so that he can screw my brains out until I faint. Are you now trying to suggest that having sex with me miraculously healed your eyes?”

“Sebastian says that miracles happen in the tiniest of ways. My finding you, for example.”

“Sebastian is a wonderful man with a great amount of faith, but there has to be a medical explanation.”

“When you discover your answer to my eyes being healed, perhaps you can also give me the scientific explanation for my being ripped in half every night and then coming together every morning,” he stated, his tone bitter as he looked away from her. “Without faith, I am a broken man.
