Lust

SIXTEEN

She didnt know what to feel when she woke up. She was in a strange room sleeping in the same bed as her sister. Where was she and why was her sister here with her?

Her first thought is that she was kidnapped again and this time Blaine had Charity kidnapped as well. But then the memories from last night come back.

She remembers how she told the truth about Blaine. How she was kidnapped. How she was tortured. How she thought Blaine was after their money. She remembers that she cried and her sister learning the truth. She remembers that she agreed to come home with Passion.

Passion is her mate. It still amazes her that he was her mate. How she hadn't known that he was her mate. How it surprised her to learn the truth.

Memories of hearing that she needed wolf blood to survive came to her mind. She was told she had Passions blood and it helped her. She didnt know how she would feed in the future but she hoped she didnt hurt anyone.

A cry reaches her ears. Without thinking, she gets out of bed and makes her way toward the sound. At the end of the hall, she finds the nursery and inside is Passion as he is doing something with one of the babies.

Her heart picks up at the sight of him. While watching him, she walks into the room and picks up the crying baby. She instantly calms down. Causing Passion to look over his shoulder at her.

He smiles this handsome perfectly white smile. The smile melts her heart and sends heat straight to her core. Almost instantly Passion stiffens and takes a deep inhale. She blushes and turn away from him and cuddles the baby in her arms.

"How did you sleep?" He asks her. His voice sounds husky and a bit breathy.

"Good. Thanks." She says.

"I'm glad." He says. "I have to go with Rage on pack business today. I was wondering if you could stay with the babies? Maybe Charity could stay with you."

She looks over to him in shock. She hadn't expected him to want to leave her with the babies. After all he now knows that she needs wolf blood to survive. Isnt he worried about her hurting them?

"Oh... um... Are you sure?" She asks him.

"I'm positive I want it to be you. The react to you. Although I'm learning, you calm them down quicker than I have even managed yet." He says. "Cree, there, calmed down as soon as you picked her up. Of course I trust you."

"Alright. I can stay with them." She says.

She isnt going to tell him shes nervous. It had been years since she worked with children. Although she knows it comes naturally, but she still felt nervous. She didnt want to hurt them. She didnt want to hurt them.

Passion puts the other baby, she assumes is Crew, down in his crib. He comes to her and takes Cree from her. He places her beside her brother before walking back over to her.

She looks away from him. She doesnt want him to see her doubt herself. She never used to care, but years of people doubting her have scarred her.

A finger hooks under her chin, lifting her eyes to his brilliant blue ones. He looks at her with something she never expected to see. Want, care, and protection. Just seeing that made her feel a little better. Warmth spreading through her all over again.

Before she knows what's happening, his lips are on hers and electric shocks are spreading from.their connected lips to various parts of her body. She clings to him, not wanting the sensation to stop.

Reluctantly, he pulls back and looks down at her.

"I trust you. They trust you." He whispers. "You will be fine."

She could only nod. She couldnt think. It was like her brain stopped functioning.

He doesnt say anything as he grabs Cree out of the crib and changes her diaper. When hes finished, she grabs Crew and follows Passion out into the kitchen where there are bottles waiting for hungry babies.

Together they sit, side by side, on the couch and feed the babies. The scene feels natural. Like it was meant to happen. Just sitting next to her mate, feeding babies, like a family felt right.

"Morning." Charity says, breaking their silence.

Chastity looks over at her sister and instantly regrets what she did last night. She wished she had never told her sister about what happen. She wanted Charity back to her beight happy self. Not this dull sad person watching as she sits next to her mate.

"Morning." Chastity says. "Want to spend the day with me and these cuties? Passion has to go out on pack duties today."

Charity's eyes grow big for a moment before she nods with a small smile. Chastity heaves a silent sigh of relief. She thought her sister didnt want go spend time with her.

She was sure Charity had questions. Questions she would answer even if she didnt want to. Her sister deserved answers.

After a while, Passion lays both babies in their swings. He turns to Chastity and pulls her so shes standing. He lays a gentle kiss on her lips.

When he pulls back, "I'll be back. I promise."
