Born in Fire

Chapter Three

Kalama*

When I woke, the sun was shining in through the windows. I moaned, rolling over, finding that I was alone. I looked around, but Caspian wasn't there. Some clothes were folded on the table next to the window, a note with it. I got up, my legs were like jelly, put were still able to support me. I went over to the table, picking up the note.

My Love,

I had some business to take care of. I had an omega bring some clothes that I thought would fit. Feel free to shower and change. I should be back by the time breakfast comes up.

Caspian

I smiled at the note, before placing it back on the table and picking up the clothes. A door was to my right, I guessed it to be the bathroom. I went over to the door, opening it, relieved that I was right. The room was huge. His and her sinks accompanied the dark marbling of the countertop. A large mirror hung behind the sinks. I laid my clothes next to the sink, looking at the mirror. I ignored my dirty reflection. Like the living area, the mirror was made of dark oak. Little wolves were engraved into the wood. I placed a hand one of the engravings, admiring the work the crafter no doubt, put a lot into. "It was my grandfather's." I jumped at the voice, spinning around. Caspian stood at the door, a smile on his handsome face. "Caspian? You scared me." He chuckled, walking over to me and wrapped his arms around me. Sparks ignited between us and my body shivered with longing.

"I'm sorry, Love." He dropped a kiss on my lips. "Did you sleep well?"

"Okay. You?" He smiled.

"Always, with you by my side." I smiled, burying my face into his chest, inhaling his fresh rain fall sent. I couldn't help the growl that escaped my lips. Caspian laugh was a rumble in my ears. He pulled away from me. "As much as I would love to take you right here. I'm not sure it would do you any good." I let out a frustrated breath, knowing he was right. After what happened last night, I didn't want to disappoint him again. As though reading my mind, Caspian lifted my head with his hand. "Don't do that to yourself. It'll happen." I nodded. "Now, get your little, round ass, in the shower. I'm going down to see if your breakfast is ready. I'm sure you're starving." Just then, my stomach growled in reply. He laughed, gave me a kiss on the forehead, and left, closing the door behind him. I let out another breath and walked over to the shower. It was big enough for ten people. I turned the water on, letting it run as I let the robe fall from my shoulders and onto the floor, and stepped under the spray. I relaxed under the hot water, letting it work out the tightness in my sore muscles.

After a few minutes I grabbed the bottle of shampoo and began to lather my hair. I couldn't remember the last time I'd had a real shower, so there was no way I was going to waste it. I rinsed the shampoo, starting again with conditioner. Rinsing that out, I grabbed the bar of soap and started cleaning the dirt and grim from my body. Finally clean, I turned the water off and stepped out, wrapping a towel around me. I walked back to the sink, drying off and looked at the clothes that had been laid out for me. I pulled on the black, lacey panties and matching black bra. I slipped into the dark blue jeans, they would fit well, once I gained back a little weight, hugging my curves. The black shirt also would hug my curves nicely. A knock sounded at the door; it was Caspian. "You almost done, Love?"

"Be right out." I answered. I looked through the drawers, looking for a hairbrush and toothbrush. I sighed, finding none, I grabbed the towel, drying my hair as much as possible, before throwing it in the hamper and heading back into the main room. Caspian sat on the large, overstuffed couch. The smell of chocolate chip waffles filled my senses, making my mouth water. I walked over to him, my eyes falling on the mini buffet that lay on the coffee table. Chocolate chip waffles were piled on a plate. Next to it, was a stack of bacon and sausages. Plates of ham and eggs, toast with grape jam, along with a pitcher of orange juice. My mouth began to water, my stomach growling. "Why so much?" Caspian smiled.
