He looked out at the City shrouded by a faint morning mist and realised he was happy, because best of all he had Vella in his bed every night. Caspian turned to look at her and all of her except her left calf and foot was hidden under the blankets.
He realised he loved that calf and foot with all the fervour that he gave to loving her breasts and her wonderful genitals, that linked with his to give so much pleasure. Sara had given him a bit of wise advice on not falling too hard for his first serious lover, but he wasn't stupid. For a start he realised that his position, money and the comforts of the Dome probably had an effect on Vella's feelings for him.
He did love her of course! He wanted her with him constantly, ached when she wasn't there, would give his life to protect her. But with a wisdom sadly granted to very few he knew the feelings were a part of now. He loved her now, couldn't live without her now.
Caspian knew that he wouldn't always feel the way he currently did about the wonderful creature he shared his bed with and that one day he'd feel the same way about other lovers.
