Levitation

Elena's POV

I woke up sore as hell and moaned in pain. I was wearing Wesley's t-shirt and the event of the previous night filtered into my memory. I quickly dragged the quilt up my chest and looked around the room to see him standing naked by the window, staring straight at me.

"Good morning," I said shyly, avoiding his eyes. There were blood stains on the bed and I tried to cover it from his view.

"Good morning." He answered and strode towards me. It looked like he had been awake for a while. He got on the bed and looked at the blood stains.

"I tried to clean you up as much as I could without hurting you or disturbing your sleep, you looked so peaceful." He said and planted a dry kiss on my cheeks.

"Oh. I'll clean up." I muttered, still avoiding his eyes.

"You are mine now Elena. You won't need to clean up." He said and raised my chin up to meet his gaze. The morning sun casts a golden glow on his perfect body, accentuating his muscles with each stroke of its ray.

"I don't have to be waited on, hands and feet. I can take care of myself." I said and lowered my eyes again, refusing to meet his gaze the second time.

"Well, I am going to take care of you. You are my mate, remember?" He said I knew he was being careful with his words and trying to make me feel special.

"Well, I guess," I said, following the same vein. He smiled warmly at me and kissed me, gently at first then he deepened it. I couldn't move my body or my lips, completely paralyzed by the euphoria of the emotions he was awakening inside me just with the kiss.

"You know, if you are up for it, I could take you on another ride?" He said and winked at me.

"Shut up," I said and tried to get up, but a searing pain shot in between my legs, and up my spine and I fell back weakly.

"See, you need me to take care of you. Allow me to assuage my guilt. I don't like that you are in so much pain." He said and without waiting for me to reply, carried me from the bed and marched straight for the bathroom.

He had hot water and fresh clothing already set out. Helping me into the already-filled tub, there were rose petals scattered on the floor and a bouquet of flowers too.

"I didn't want you to know about it." He said when he saw the shocked expression on my face.

"Did you have it planned out?" I asked him and he shook his head.

"I got all this set up while you were asleep." He answered and proceeded to check the temperature of the water in the bathtub.

"Is this okay for you or do you want it another way?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Thank you, it's enough," I said and he stood there, looking at me.

I kept looking at him, waiting for him to give me some privacy to shower but he didn't budge. He didn't even know what I was trying to tell him but not starting my soak off yet.

The warm water was quite soothing and soon, the numbness in between my legs began to feel better. I felt bad that I had been tipsy and he had seduced me, making me have a hazy memory of how I lost my virginity to him.

"Why haven't you started yet? Is there something else you are waiting for or would like me to bring for you?" He asked me, his voice filled with concern.


"I've never had my bath in front of anyone else before," I said and lowered my eyes. It was becoming increasingly hard to hold his gaze as I feared he would see right through me.

"I am your husband. Your body is mine. I told you that last night. You are mine and marked." He said and brought out his toothbrush. He meant it and I realized sadly, that this was just the beginning.

"Wesley, please. Just for today." I begged, knowing he wouldn't budge if I didn't.

"Fine." He agreed grumpily.

"But, there won't be a next time. You can join me in the bathroom anytime you want." He said and stomped out.

"Damn!" I heaved as soon as the door closed.

I winced in pain and tried to sit up, my body was struggling to relax as moving was hard even though the warm water helped.

I swallowed hard before stepping out of the shower a few minutes later fully dressed and holding the bouquet that he had left for me.

"Where's this place?" I asked him, seeing that we were not in our room and the whole terrain was unfamiliar.

He had also showered and was dressed up in a white shirt and blue pants. A few buttons were left open and the sprinkle of hair on his chest trailed down the hem of his shirt, he had also rolled up his cuffs and looked like a Greek god.

"Do you want to know where we are or do you want me to strip so you can eat me up with your eyes better?" He asked me and I looked up to see that he had caught me staring at him.

I blushed furiously and tried to quickly escape from his presence but I didn't know my way out of the room we were in.

"We are in my private bedroom in my study." He answered and without saying anything else, began walking towards the exit to the room.

"Mother asked of you. I told her you were sleeping in." He informed me as we went through a secret door behind his wine bar back to his study.

"I will go and look at her now. She has also been on my mind too." I said and tried to leave the room, just as I got to the door, his voice stopped me in my tracks.

"Come back soon, we are not done." He said and I bolted out of the room in embarrassment.
