Chapter 11

Cole

After getting Marley cleaned up and back in bed, she fell asleep quickly. I stayed awake for a while, watching her take her slow breaths. I gazed at her as she fell into her dreams, her eyes moving under her eyelids, her brows faintly twitching.

I wondered what she was dreaming about. I didn’t sense any distress from her, or any discomfort. I did keep an eye on her to make sure she wasn’t slipping into nightmares so I could wake her if the narrative in her head took a turn for the worse.

I couldn’t decide whether I felt embarrassed for how fully I’d lost myself in my desire to make a baby with her. My mouth had a way of running away with me when I was in the thick of my arousal, especially when it came to Marley. More than once, I’d felt a little embarrassed for the things I’d said when I was lusting after her, though she’d never teased me or made me feel bad about it the way Olivia used to.

Olivia was a woman who loved to dominate. It hadn’t necessarily been a bad thing. In fact, I’d quite enjoyed the power play between us in the bedroom when we’d been together. But the enjoyment of that had stopped when it started to leak into our dynamic outside of the bedroom. It wasn’t that I was frightened of powerful women—I felt Marley was remarkably powerful. It was the fact that Olivia had always made me feel small and insignificant.

She did it while we were together, she did it during the breakup, and she made one final hurrah at it when she leveraged my son for money. It was hard to let go of those things when I was dealing with Marley in some ways. It was hard not to worry about how things might change once we had a child together. But I wanted to try. I wanted to do everything I could to have a happy life with her.

I brushed her hair away from her face and tugged her close to me. She draped her arm over my waist as she settled in, even as she slept. I kissed her forehead, and she made an adorable, slack-faced kiss of the air in her sleep. I smoothed my hand over the delicate planes of her back and tucked her head under my chin.

I looked out of the window at the moon and made a silent plea to it. I prayed that she’d watch over us, that she’d protect my mate and my son. That this war and the gene therapy Marley was about to start wouldn’t take her away from me. Not when I’d only just finally found happiness. Not when she’d already been through so much.

The moon was silent as ever, but I felt like she was reaching out to me as I was reaching out to her. I could only hope that feeling was real, not just wishful thinking.

I fell asleep as I brainstormed ideas for our child’s name.
