After The War

Chapter 25 Cassian

Cassians's pov

We ended up going straight to the cabin at Windhaven camp, instead of checking in with Devlon because it was already past 10pm and both Nesta and I were tired.

I showed her, to one of the two rooms in the small cabin that Rhys, Az and I had grown up in. Sharing the same room with them had been a struggle, and each of us had spent many nights on the couch in the small sitting area.

Nesta nodded her thanks and closed the door, and a few minutes later I heard the sounds of her washing in the small tub in the connected wash room.

I went down to my room and sat on the bed.

I couldn't stick to what I had said to her, I didn't want to wait if she was ready to do things with me.

I wanted so badly to kiss and hold her.

And I think that's all she needed.

I ended up washing and going straight to bed even though I knew I could have done the little paper work that Rhys wanted me to do.

It was around 2.30 when I woke up to the sound of Nesta thrashing in her bed.

I ran to her room and found her scratching at her throat.

I grabbed her hands and gently shook her body trying to wake her.

"Nesta? You need to wake up, it's just a bream."

When I said her name I felt a tug in my chest.

"Nesta? Please wake up."

I felt it again,and she opened her eyes.

"Cassian?"

I nodded, "Yeah it's me, you had a bad dream."

She tugged on that bond and I couldn't take it anymore.

"Nesta stop, do you know what your doing."

She stared at me, "I didn't realise you would feel it. But I do know what it is."

She didn't look upset, in fact she looked like she was glad I had felt it and knew that she knew.

I sat on the edge of the bed.

"It doesn't mean we have to do anything if you don't want me, you don't have to have me just because of the bond."

"And what if I want you?"

I leened in and smiled.

"Well we might have to do something about it then? Won't we?"

She nodded quickly, "Yes we should."

I almost wanted to walk away, and let her feel how I did after the war and she ignored me.

But I didn't have that restraint, and I knew she was trying.

I came closer to her, an inch from her lips, and stopped.

Just in case she changed her mind, but she hadn't.

She crossed that inch and kissed me.

Her arms went around my neck and she pulled me over her onto the bed.

With her on her side, my hand went to her ass, she gasped and my tongue went in her mouth.

The way we moved turned me on like nothing else I've ever experienced.

But when she started bucking her hips into mine I pulled back.

She groaned, "Why did you stop?"

I let out a huffed laugh, "If we kept going I wouldn't be able to stop, and I don't want to do that right now. I want you to get better first."

She nodded, "Okay, but from now on you will sleep in my bed and we can kiss?"

I kissed her in answer.

Hey thanks for reading! I hope your all doing well at home with everything that's been going on❤️.

And hopefully I'll have the next chapter out soon👍.
