Chapter 38 : I Did It

*Mila*

I opened my eyes and glanced around. The first thing I saw was Payne leaning over me, a concerned look on his face.

We’d made it back from my memory.

My heart thudded in my chest as I sat up. All the pain and emotions from that memory were still fresh, like an open wound in my heart. I clasped my hands over my heart.

April sat beside me, slumped against the nearest wall. She was asleep too, or unconscious. I couldn’t tell but her breathing was even and slow.

Payne dropped to his knees at my side.

“Thank the Goddess you’re awake!” he said happily, relief filling his eyes.

His eyes drifted to my right and I turned to see what he was looking at.

Soren was still asleep beside me, eyes closed, heavy breaths steaming up the dimly lit cavern.

I nodded absently at Payne, but my attention was only on Soren. I thought of how he’d protected me in the dream. Not just from what was around us and the danger of getting trapped in my mind. He protected me from myself and from my own emotions.

Laying there, he looked so soft and peaceful. Nothing like the sarcastic, harsh shifter I was growing attached to. It almost seemed like I could get close to him without fearing he’d shut me down or push me away.

He was open and vulnerable.

I was still shaken from my memories and all I had to hold onto was how his arms felt around me and how he’d kept me grounded when I was ready to lose myself.

Shifting to hands and knees, I crawled to Soren’s side. Slowly, I reached out and tenderly brushed some hair from his face. I cupped his cheek with one hand.

“What are you…”

Payne’s voice trailed off in a surprised gasp when I leaned down and pressed my lips to Soren’s.

“Mila…” he reprimanded.

I ignored him and kept kissing him.

After everything I’d seen and felt, I needed it. I needed to feel like I wasn’t alone and that someone cared about me and what I’d been through.

Soren had seen it, he’d know. He was strong and powerful and I could rely on him to hold me up when I was losing it. That’s what I needed right now.

Suddenly, Soren’s arms came around me.

I squeaked as he rolled me onto my back. He wrapped his arms around me firmly, pinning me against him as he kissed me back.

Soren’s tongue dove between my lips, expertly parting my teeth. He ran his tongue over mine and over the inside of my mouth, tasting me thoroughly.
