Chapter 52

“I’m exhausted,”

I had finished my first night watch Grayson of course by my side. It took a full week to get him to agree to let me participate in the wall defense.

His compromise was we defend and patrol together or I have both Elizabeth and Matt stationed with me.

There was only one shift in the rotation that I spent without him more patrolling me than the woods. I didn’t expect anything less than that..

This threat that was inching closer had brought us together more than anything else. It had forced us to look past all the personal fears, the duties we coveted, and the wishes we had to each other.

He had somehow along all this way and time become a friend, the person I told everything to. We had skipped getting to know each other and fallen for each other even with fifty feet flames surrounding us.

I know I sound like a medieval romance story, it felt like that sometimes with the weight of it all hanging on us, life

and death adrenaline compressing us together.

“You’re exhausted. I had to deal with Leon’s defense strategies all day and then take the night watch,” he came up behind me pulling my shirt off of me.

We’d become much more comfortable physically since he’d returned from the hunt. Breaking new boundaries every

time we entered the privacy of our room.

“I think you should be kind to me as I have been working tirelessly to get all our food stored for winter,” I cracked my knuckles and pooped my shoulders as I stretched out before bed.

He let out a long breathy sigh as his fingers trailed the back of my n*eck down to the base of my back.

“How tired?”

And then our nightly routine started again his fingers tracing their well known paths along my b*dy. My hands gliding through is hair.

The moments with our mouths patting and coming back together in smokey heat. Wanting sat between us everyday.

“I wish that we could take a vacation. Find some little hut out in the forest that no one can find. Be together without all the stress,” I snuggled my face into his chest.

“I don’t want to leave them, I just want to keep my head above water,” I sighed.
