Awakening

Chapter 26

A little too close

As Caliope was slowly waking up, Amra was holding her and slowly caressing her arms. They were both naked and barely covered in sheets. She smiled and turned her head to find his lips and kiss him "Good morning love..." his voice was raspy and sexy, she felt herself shiver and she ventured to kiss his body making him lay on the bed and close his eyes. It was magic on its own, each inch where her lips rested brought a sigh or a moan out of his mouth.

Later, both walked to the Hotel's restaurant holding each other's hands, Pronab was waiting for them already at a table, and both looked as Elaine in the distance was talking to a manager. After they joined Pronab and ordered something light for breakfast, Caliope was tugging herself in the coat Elaine borrowed her when Pronab pointed out the weather outside "It is going to be very cold here the next couple of days, you should get some more suitable clothes, we are staying here at least three more days."

Amra looked at him "We can go shopping before the meeting."

"They are already waiting for us but I do not see why you would care much, am I right?"

Amra smirked and nodded just as Elaine joined them, smiling and putting her phone on the table "Good morning my dear ones, how did you both sleep? Did you sleep?"

Caliope blushed "At some point we did..."

Elaine and Pronab chuckled then ordered something to take on the way. Amra put an arm around Caliope and she turned to look at him with a smile. He on the other hand was a bit more serious, but his eyes met hers and his face softened some more 'He is here, Rawer. He makes me want to do bad things to him.' he admitted. Caliope responded 'No. please don't. I noticed finally yesterday, I am truly safe. I have nothing to fear anymore... my initial reaction was only because I was caught by surprise, but I am safe! I do not fear him anymore, I have you.'

Amra smiled more and this time leaned to kiss her. At the distance, Rawer took a single table and frowned as he watched the scene.

"Would you like to go shopping today sweetie? You will need warmer clothes. I could go with you and we let the boys do the first meeting."

Pronab shook his head appalled "Me? And those cold noses? I take the shopping instead, unless you are there, I could hit the face of Falshore just as a greeting."

Elaine sighed and Amra perked a brow looking at Pronab; there were not many people who brought out that side of him, especially in public.

"Cold noses?" Caliope asked with intended curiosity.

Elaine Clark smiled at her "They are a bit... special..."

Pronab shook his head "Cold noses, they believe they are the elite."

Amra chuckled and turned to Caliope holding her tight, while Elaine raised her hands giving up "Ok, you can go shopping with Caliope..."

"Caly... you all can call me Caly..." she added with a smile.

Elaine smiled back, unable to hold herself "Caly, adorable... well, you both can go shopping and then we meet for lunch, is that ok?"

"I am not fine with leaving her but I guess we have to do some sacrifices."

"There are only two other people in the earth, besides you, with whom I would feel safe enough and one of them is going shopping with me, so I will be fine!" she tried to assure him.

Amra looked in her eyes and gave her a smile "Ok, you convinced me..." Then he looked back at Elaine "But after lunch we are not taking separate routes again, I hope." Elaine shook her head "No, there should not be any change of plans either."
