Chapter 96

Zenovia

My skin and my heart cried at the loss of touch of his lips. It was as if he saw something alarming and stopped abruptly.

Only heavens knew how could he stop to inspect something in the middle of such a passionate make-out session but then there were plenty of things about him that surprised me.

I was lying on the mud, face down when he suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me up, all the way in his lap.

I shivered and waited for his lips to start kissing the mark again but he did not. He just plucked me up from the ground and placed me on his lap, my bare butt almost in his face.

When he did not move or make a sound, I tried to straighten and crane my neck to see what was going on, but there was a light slap on my thigh, asking me to stay the way I was.

So, I went down again, propping my chest up on the ground by placing my elbows’ down for support.

Slowly, Callahan’s thumb reached up and caressed my mark and the touch sent a shiver of delight tingling up my spine.

Yes, it was happening again. I could not wait.

But he continued to brush his finger on the spot and murmured, “It changed”

Huh?

What changed?

The color of my skin? Or was my skin a bit saggy down there?

I wondered for a brief minute but he repeated, “It looks different”

Dread filled my heart. Did the prolonged contact with water make my skin look wrinkled and saggy?

I hope that didn’t turn him off.

“The mark… it has changed”

Oh.

-A wave of relief coursed through me.

“You never told me,” He said in an accusatory tone.

“I…I didn’t really notice” I gave him a white lie. I did notice the change once but then given the hellish training he made me go through, I barely had time to sleep or eat.

Often times I would just run to the shower, and be out of it in two minutes maximum.

The hesitation in my voice did not go unnoticed and I was rewarded with a light slap again.

“Don’t lie to me!” He muttered and I stayed silent because I could not think of anything.
