All Chapters of The comeback of the wolf: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Reese’s P.O.V. The warm Florida evening had cast a golden flow over the small town I had grown to love already, as I watched Caleb pull up in front of my apartment building in his rusty old truck. My heart fluttered with excitement as I saw him getting out of the car, a mischievous grin playing on his lips as he walked into the building. I couldn’t help but smile back, feeling an inexplicable connection with him. And as soon as my doorbell rang, I couldn’t help but skip towards my front door, opening it and being rewarded by the sight of him standing there.“Hey, Gorgeous.” Caleb greeted, his voice laced with anticipation.“Ready for a night of surprises?” He asked me, tilting his head as his eyes never left mine. I stepped out of my apartment, the soft fabric of my dress swaying gently with every step I took. I decided on wearing a crème colored silk dress, knowing it would be OK to wear to most things my mind had come up with as an option for a date. I had my jeans jacket on my arm

Caleb’s P.O.V.I opened the door to Reese’s apartment after a quiet ride. We were both probably still lost in our thoughts about an amazing evening spent together. And now that we walked into her home, I noticed her biting the inside of her cheek, which I had learned she did whenever she was nervous. Reese walked through the door but stopped at her kitchen table as if somehow she didn’t want to go any further, nerves probably having the best of her, since she was no fool and we both knew where this night was heading in the first place. I walked over to her and went to stand behind her, her back pressed to my chest as I reached up to caress her cheek, my thumb brushing away a strand of hair that was resting in front of her gorgeous eyes.“Thank you,” I told her, seeing how she seemed to be surprised at my words.“For what?” She asked me, to which I couldn’t help but smile.“For believing in me. For seeing something in me that I couldn’t even see myself. You’ve been my biggest cheerlead

Reese’s P.O.V.The following days passed all too quickly, and Caleb and I found ourselves immersed in a bittersweet mix of joy and sadness. Our time together was drawing to a close, and Caleb’s obligations as a star hockey player called him back to his team. We were determined to make every moment count, cherishing the precious time that we had left together.We made the most of our final days, filling them with unforgettable experiences and creating memories to carry us through the upcoming separation. Sure, I didn’t like the fact that Caleb was leaving, but I also knew that I couldn’t force him to stay either, and that I did not want to be the woman who would keep him away from his dreams, from his job. I didn’t want him to resent me in the future, blaming me that I was the one who had made him quit the thing that had been the center of his life for such a long time. If Caleb did want to stop, it would have to be his own choice and on his own terms. And until he would make that choi

Reese’s P.O.V.My classroom was quiet, empty of the usual laughter and chatter that filled its walls during the school day. I sat alone at my desk, staring blankly at the blackboard after I had cleaned my classroom and set everything ready for the next day. The clock on the wall ticked away, each passing second serving as a painful reminder of Caleb not being here with me anymore. Not in the same city, not even in the same state.With a heavy sigh, I packed my belonging into my bag. The prospect of going back to my apartment, once a place of comfort and warmth, now seemed daunting. Everywhere I looked, I saw fragments of memories, traces of Caleb that only intensified the ache in my heart. And right now, it seemed as if every inch of this town had some memory of Caleb. Even my own Goddamn classroom since this was where I had first met him.I couldn’t escape the lingering scent of his cologne on our shared pillows, the empty space next to me in bed every morning when I would wake up no

Reese’s P.O.V. His lips captured mine as if he was below water and I was his only way to be able to breathe. “I’ve been counting down the days.” He mumbled while his lips were still on my skin, his hand turning my head so he could have full access to my skin there. The action on his part was both dominating and sexy as hell. Lifting my sweater, since I was now a full Florida girl and every other state would give me the chills, Caleb dropped it on the floor next to him.“We still need to christen my bed.” He grinned at me as he tossed me on his king size bed, my body bouncing on a soft mattress. Caleb stripped off his tshirt and unbuttoned his pants as if he just couldn’t do it nice and slow this time. Hell… who was I trying to fool here? I wouldn’t be able to do nice and slow either this time, which was probably why I was already pulling my pants down in record time. We had both been waiting long enough, and now, we were both done waiting, ready to explode. *** Caleb’s P.O.V. Fuc
