Hearing how sweetly Edrick spoke to Ella made my heart swell. And to hear him mention me, too, made my heart swell even more. Was my wolf right when she said that Edrick would come around? These past few days, did his attitude toward our relationship begin to shift in the right direction?

I heard Edrick kiss Ella goodnight and approach the door, so I quickly scurried away before he realized that I was eavesdropping. I wasn’t sure whether he actually saw me or not, but if he did, he didn’t say anything about it.

His sweet lips parted gently and his tongue pressed its way into my mouth while his hand traveled down my neck, over my collarbone and my shoulder, down my waist and landed on my hip, where his fingers squeezed gently and dug into my flesh, causing tingling

When he picked me up and all I saw was him looking down at me, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on me. I knew I loved him then, and I loved him now.
