42 The unspoken heat

Lyla o

I woke up the next morning , blinking groggily at the warm sunlight streaming in through my window .

I stretched , feeling a strange calmness settle over my body .

The overwhelming tension that had gripped me yesterday seemed to have cased , leaving me surprisingly … normal .

I no longer felt that feverish , consuming desire – I was still horny but I felt like I could control it .

As I made my way downstairs , I saw Nanny standing by the stove , staring at the pot on fire but she seemed to be absent – minded .

Her eyes were blank , and her brows were furrowed in a frown .

“ Nan ? ” I called out .

No reply .

“ Nanny ? ” I called out the second time , this time louder than the first one .

She snapped back to reality , flashing me a smile not before I saw worry flash in her eyes .

She wiped her hands on the dish towel on the counter and came towards me .

“ Good morning , dear , ” she greeted softly , her eyes scanning me as though she was assessing my condition .

“ Are you feeling better ? You don’t seem like you’re still going through your heat .

” My body tensed under her scrutiny as I recalled what had happened yesterday with Xander .

True , my pheromones were everywhere in the room but I wasn’t doubling with occasional flashes of desire , or moaning at the slightest move of my body .

Did it have anything to do with .

Xander yesterday ? Quickly , I masked my unease with a faint smile .

“ I’m still going through it ! ” I murmured awkwardly .

“ It must have been the sleep .

I slept quite a lot yesterday .

Her gaze softened , though there was still a hint of worry in her expression .

“ That’s good , but your pheromones are still very active .

Be mindful of it , alright ? This heat seems different from your usual cycles .

Maybe it has something to do with your visit to Blue Ridge ? ” she gave me a suggestive look .
