After The War

Chapter 35 Cassian

Cassians's pov

After almost two weeks in the steps, Nesta had made exceptional eaps with her training and with the other females of the camp more and more came each day to train with her even if she still wasn't exactly freandly with them.

We hadn't gone past sleeping in the same bed and even the kissing had stopped, more just her holding on to me tighter than I thought possible through the night.

Not that I was complaining.

I was on my way back to our house after coming back from the River House kinda excited to tell Nest it was her first time to get out of here.

I found said person stirring something that looked like stew on a fook in the fire place, she looked up at me not smiling but a please t enough nod in my direction, "How was it?"

Her voice sounded strained like she had something to say, "It was good, we've been invited to a family dinner in a couple of days?"

She nodded, "Do they really want me there?"

I cringed, "They wouldn't have asked if they didn't, we've been trying to work through this, once they see that you are trying it'll be easier for you to feel welcome in the group and not like an outsider."

She nodded looking back to the stew, "Can you get this and dish I'm not ready..."

I nodded and walked over after putting down my weapons and jacket.

This was something that had become our usual, she would make the dinner and I would dish, after she found out about what it ment giving me food she made sure I knew it would be when she was ready and not by accident.

But I went I a rush either, I wanted to make sure that she and I were both ready and as much as the bond pulled me to her, I didn't want to get myself hurt by binding myself to a female that's not jsyt healed and happy with herself yet.

I took the pot out of the fire and to the kitchen bench where the bowls had been put out for filling, after witch Nesta grabbed her bowl and went to sit, almost gulping the hot stew down.

I almost laughed, after her first week she started to eat almost as much as I did and her figure had filled out nicely, her ribs no longer viable nor her hip bones.

On one of the first nights here she had said how she didn't want muscle but rather the be curvy like the females of Velaris with hips and thighs to fill out her dresses, but she also wanted to be able to defend herself.

Both of which I agreed with, I'd always had a soft spot for softer females to fit against my hard body.

I sat down next to Nesta on the couch devouring my stew appreciating the warmth it gave.

Both finished Nesta took our bowls to the ketchen before coming back and straddling mhmy legs, hands on my shoulders.

"What's this about?" I asked leaning in to kiss her neck above the cover of leathers.

She losses a breath, "I've missed having you close like this even if it was only for a little bit, I need you, I need something. Please."

She sounded desperate, wanting.

I kissed her again and whispered in her ear, "We can go too far, I won't be able to top even if I wanted to."

"You want to stop?"

I pulled back, "Nesta we said we would wait till everything was sorted out with you and our family, when we're back home?"

She nodded, "I know sorry I just got a bit hot and bothered and thought-"

I kissed her, and her arms went around my neck pulling me closer, my hands finding her ass, squeezing.

She opened her mouth, her tongue fighting with mine till she gave up to me, letting me have her, taste her.

We pulled away gasping, "Didn't realise you were so into me yet, felf rather like you were dying to get in my pants."

She slapped me almost jumping of my lap, "God's what's your problem you have to go and ruin things like the pig you are!"

I grinned at her standing also, "If I'm such a pig why did you come onto Me?"

"I was just feeling an itch but obviously you can't reach it."

"Oh really then why are you going to enjoy what I'm going to do next so much?"

She stepped back, "Of you lay one of your slimy fingers on my I swear-"

I cut her of grabbing her waist and felt my heart fill when her arms reached my shoulders to help pull her into my arms as I moved us to the wall closest, her legs wrapping around my waist and our mouths clashing.

Hey  sorry for the abrupt ending but want the rest in Nesta's pov so will get that up as quick as I can but thought you might all want a bit more😂❤️
