Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 63

"Bronx, what are you talking about?" I ask confused, "You didn’t bring me home? You didn’t know I was in here?"

"No, Baby.I didn’t know where you were.No one did.I felt you reach out to me, so I ran back to the packhouse.I was going to let Lady Camille know, but then I smelled your scent and I was able to follow it down here," he explains into my ear, still holding me against him.

He gives me little kisses on the side of my face while he talks, leaving little sparks behind with each one.I close my eyes and smile, grateful to be home and in his arms.

"I’m sorry, Bronx.I didn’t mean to scare you,"

I apologize even though there is nothing I could have done about it, "All I know is I fell into a vision in the dungeon of the Silver Moon packhouse and I woke up here in our meditation room."

I feel him smoothing my hair and nodding, but he doesn’t say anything.

"Bronx, w-what’s going on? What's wrong?" I ask, sensing there is a lot more to his look than just my reappearance.

"Oh, Baby, I don’t even know how to begin explaining it to you," he sighs, sitting on the ground without putting me down.

Once I’m comfortably in his lap, he finally looks toward the door.

Reggie is standing in the doorway, blocking everyone from coming in.He looks expectantly at Bronx, his face is worn out and worried.

"Reggie, give me a couple minutes to speak with Kas alone," he says solemnly, "Can you close the door, please?"

Reggie looks around nervously before he closes the door, blocking everyone out.

"Two days? Bronx, I don’t understand," I shake my head, looking into his eye, "I mean I know I had a vision but two days?"

Bronx smoothes my hair while he admires me, "Kas, there are so many questions about so many things, especially where you’ve been the last two days and so much has happened, but right now, I need to know how you’re feeling.How’s your strength?"

The look in his eye is full of concern, not just for me, though.It’s deeper than that.
