What do shifters eat for breakfast? I wonder to myself while digging through my fridge. I don’t have much to offer, but I want to make sure Malin gets something in his stomach before he leaves.

My chest gets that tight feeling again at the thought of Malin leaving. Last night was unexpected, to say the least, but also kind of perfect. I was nervous and excited to see him again, but when he looked unwell, something in me snapped.

My heart dropped to my stomach and I knew I needed to take care of him. No, not need. Well, that, too, but I found I wanted to be the one to make him feel better, even if I had no idea what I was doing.

Before I knew it, Malin was curled up on the couch with his head in my lap while I played with his hair. I found myself wanting to feel more of him. My hands wandered a bit, massaging his neck, shoulders, and back.

God, I could feel his muscles flex under the pads of my fingers as I traced over his skin. I swear I felt him shiver a time or two, but it was probably just from being sick and having a fever. I won’t lie, I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to feel more of him, to feel everything.

The longer he stayed on my lap, the more turned on I got. There were a few times I had to discreetly clench my thighs together to try and get rid of the ache in my core. I’m sure Malin could smell my arousal. That should embarrass me, but I think I like him knowing he makes me wet.

I might have let him do something about it, but he was sick. And also, I’m mad at him. Or, well, I’m trying to be mad at him, but I’m running out of steam. Malin was so vulnerable with me when he brought over takeout, telling me about his awful family. And then yesterday, he came to see me even though he wasn’t feeling well.

Each kind word and thoughtful gesture makes me want to forgive him. And, if I’m honest with myself, I already have. The more I thought about his history with humans, and especially his Aunt, who apparently was cruel and manipulative, I could understand him being wary of strangers.

But that doesn’t mean I’m letting him off the hook completely. I think I might need to tease him a bit more before giving into this pull between us, though I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.

We fell asleep on the couch last night, and I woke up this morning all tangled up in Malin. It was a pretty fantastic way to wake up. I was, and still am, a little pissed that we were both fully clothed. I wanted to feel his skin against mine, his lips trailing down my neck, his hands roaming over my curves, lower, lower, lower, until he reached my…

“Morning,” Malin’s scratchy voice breaks into my dirty thoughts.
