*Sasha*
“Sasha, is that really you?” Lucas threw the covers off and ran to me, pulling me into his arms.
My body, and the mate bond, flared to life. I gasped and hugged him back.
“I’m here. I told you I’d make it back.” I tightened my arms around him.
Lucas’s breaths were heavy. His whole body trembled.
No thoughts or words came to me as we clung to each other. I felt like I hadn’t been in his arms in years, and I was finally coming home.
“I missed you so much. I love you, Sasha.”
“I….”
His lips crashed down on mine, his hands gripping my hips tightly. I immediately got swept up in the passion.
There was so much I needed to talk to Lucas about. I pulled away, breathing heavily.
Lucas’s eyes widened in the darkness. He kept his arms around me.
“What is it, what’s wrong?”
“Since I left… so much has happened.” I sighed and leaned against Lucas’s shoulder. As much as I wanted to tell him everything, I couldn’t come up with any words.
