*Meadow*I yawned as I stretched my arms then suddenly I hit something. My eyes opened wide, and I looked to my left where I saw Caleb smiling. "Morning, my princess," He whispered, leaning down to kiss my lips softly. Was I still dreaming? I rubbed my eyes a little too hard and then looked again. No, he wasn't a dream, his lips felt real. "Yes, it's me," He said and I jumped to him."You are back!" I almost screamed, and he wrapped his arms around me chuckling. All this while I tried to digest the fact he called me his princess."Would you like some breakfast? I brought you some juice and a few salty things, but if you prefer sweets I can arrange that," He said as he nuzzled my neck and took a deep breath from my hair.I felt goosebumps all around and squeezed him tightly. "Juice is fine, thank you."After we finally released each other, I sat on the bed, and he rested his head on my lap, sighing and closing his eyes. I felt that, since we spoke on the phone yesterday, something
*Meadow*Caleb was a perfect gentleman, as always. I keep telling myself he was just a dream come true. He shook Mr. McLane's hand and smartly flattered his business and investments. They both joked and got along fine, making me smile as I watched their interactions. Towards the end of the conversation, Caleb finally addressed Gideon's subject. "I've heard you fired the man. I am glad you did. We put charges against him and will let the police handle it.""Ah yes, I wanted to choke the life out of him when I showed him the tape, and he just shrugged! He put my daughter's life at risk, and also Meadow's. No sane person would do something like that."Caleb nodded. "Police procedure is slow, but we are following it by the book. If we all could handle things as we wanted to, well... the world would become more primitive than it already is."McLane chuckled and nodded. "I will give you that, Rowen.""Caleb, you can call me Caleb," He smiled at him, another ace under his sleeve.McLane
*Meadow*I managed to make myself look decent enough; I was wearing a below the knee silver dress with dark brown flowers manually sewed in it, it was loose and so comfortable. Together with a simple pair of brown pumps with a similar shade of brown purse that made the perfect combination. I ruffled my hair into soft waves and allowed it to fall from the sides, my final touch was a simple eyeliner, no more than that. I loved to be simple, even though something told me Caleb had more elegant plans.When I walked out of the room, He was resting on the couch, talking with Alex. I had his back at me while Alex stopped talking as his eyes laid on mine, he bowed his head and became silent, while Caleb tilted his head slightly."There you are, ready to go out?" He said calmly. I felt the situation to be odd. Alex looked different, gloomier.I walked to Caleb, and he smiled as he looked up from the chair, he took my hand and pulled me gently to sit on his lap. "Hi, Alex," I managed to say.
*Meadow*He opened the door for me and then guided me into a quiet and elegant restaurant. It was different from the other ones, and I felt much more comfortable in it. It had several private booths in a very sober design; wood panels decorated the walls, and two vintage sofas faced one to the other, a table of the same style in between. He allowed me to slide in and get comfortable, turning around to pull a cord that made a pair of curtains drop. He looked at me with a smile, and I saw some uncertainty in his eyes, he didn't know where he would seat. I lifted my hand to him invitingly, so he sat next to me and took my hand squeezing it. "What would you like to have as an appetizer?" His voice smooth as silk echoed in my ear.I half closed my eyes and heard the blues in the background moving me closer to him, I took his hand in mine and rested it on my knee. "I want many things, but I will be fine with a drink and anything you advise," I replied half teasingly.He ordered fried garl
*Meadow*The mixed sensations of the delicious food added to our favorite wine paled in comparison to the feelings my own body felt as we ate slowly in silence. The music seemed to conspire against me, revealing my thoughts. "You get the fever... you get the itch... and you forget about the mess you were in..." sang Keb Mo while I tried to convince myself it wasn't a mistake; and that was all it took for me to get cold and uncomfortable.He spread his legs a little wider, and I felt lower in between them. I could feel his intentions hard against me, and I couldn't concentrate on anything but the basics. Breath and eat. I ate slowly and finally, once full, I kept quiet as I drank the last content inside the wine bottle, only to look at its emptiness disappointed.He chuckled and leaned against me enough to feel his breath on my neck. "Would you like me to order more?"I half closed my eyes and felt intoxicated. "I think I have had enough..." I whispered. Why was I suddenly so nervou
*Meadow*I slowly rubbed my eyes after feeling a slight heat against them. I didn't know what it was, I just knew it was waking me up. When I finally opened my eyes half way I could see the thick curtains left a small line uncovered where each side met in the center, and through that little space, the sunlight peeked in and was stealing my sleep.I was still trapped in between worlds; half asleep and half awake, when I felt something around me move. My eyes shot wide open, and I found myself caught in Caleb's arms. I blushed profoundly, feeling his left arm tighten around my stomach; I smiled as I remembered the night before.I remembered he held me tightly in his arms until I finally stopped feeling like I didn't deserve him, we kissed with passion and laid on the couch of my dreams, the same one I was waking up in. I was ready for more that night, but he stopped me; he said I needed to rest and recharge energies since I had a long and emotional day. We laid together cuddling, and
*Meadow*I woke up to the sound of whimpers and shudders. I looked ahead, and I saw Caleb sweating and fighting something invisible, all while sinking his fingers on the couch. I ran to him and kneeled at his side, trying to wake him up, shaking him softly. His hand released the sofa but clasped on my wrist and I gasped at the pain.I shook him gently again while whispering his name. "Caleb? wake up... is just a nightmare..." I tried to move my arm away but he tightened his grip on me harder. "Caleb!" I cried and his eyes opened wide. I instantly reached his face with my free hand and caressed his sweat away trying to soothe him. "It was only a nightmare... relax... I am here...""Meadow..." he whispered my name and pulled me to him as he breathed heavy and fast. "I thought I had lost you..." He breathed in my neck and I caressed his back trying to help him calm down."I am not lost, and I am right here with you," I whispered while kissing the top of his head and he took a deep bre
*Meadow*He slid his fingers under my dress and over my skin, and I moaned softly, I felt him tug my clothing up and out; so I lifted my arms, and as soon as he removed it, I felt my skin burn in contact with his. Oh, this was far from over.I felt as if I was on drugs; him being mine as I grinded on his skin and licked his chest. He growled seductively and pressed his fingers on my back, pulling me harder against him, then he licked my neck and I quivered, my body arched more and he pushed himself between my thighs, his leg now damp with my arousal."Caleb..." I whisper faintly, and he pushed me down on the couch, his body atop of me. My hands slid on his hips, and I locked my eyes on him as I pushed his pants down slowly, the dark pools of his eyes seemed to burn me from within."Things will change for you if we take this further... we will be bound more fully and forever... Are you sure you want to take that step?" He said almost without breath.I thought about it briefly, but
