Chapter 145

ZADEN'S POV I lifted my upper body so I could slide myself behind my tired mate so she was laying against my chest. My fingers traced lightly back and forth on her stomach as I said, "You are not as breakable as you were before. You don't know how many times you would look at me a certain way and I would want to just throw you down and have you right there on the spot." She was silent as if she was thinking about something. "Oh, buddy do I know the feeling. Something tells me our house guest who didn't appreciate the display though." she teased. s She knew I longed for the day where we could be just alone as much as she did but neither of us was prepared to alienate our friends that way. We all needed each other in one way or another. She smiled at me and whispered, "Don't worry. there's always the honeymoon." I laughed and said, " Let's go and never come back." "Can't wait." She snuggled her body into mine like a kitten. 'My' kitten. I smiled and drifted off to sleep. RIVEN'S POV The
