Lorelei POV
It's so warm here is my first thought. Like the perfect temperature, and everything in her home gives off nature and calm. Mostly white colors, or cool tones, and wood. Speaking of wood, the floors have a very light grey wood color. One side of the room has a glass see-through wall. This room is very pretty, but it's not anywhere of importance, at least to Xan. As she leads me in through another door, but just before I step in, she takes off my jacket for me. I thought that was nice until she threw it in the garbage. It's been a long day, and I didn't think much before calling her on her bullshit, which was basically ignored. Instead she says, "Take off your shoes… just take off everything.", if I was offended before, now I was livid. Xan waited a few seconds for my reply, and we just stared at each other, why would she say that? Is she in a hurry? What does that look she's giving me mean?...
My thoughts spun out of control. Impatient it seems, she starts to do that on her own, and my mind stills for a second before it starts to race with anticipation and dread, but nothing happens. Xan didn't even pause as she took off my clothes and transported us. This is the second time I've been transported, and I made a mental note of asking about transport lessons later, but for now I dizzily looked around. It was a beautiful bathroom that can only be described as white, clean, grey, and wood. The central theme of the rest of the house, it seems. I see the huge tub, Xan starts filling up, and I would have cried if I wasn't fresh out of tears. The rest of the night is perfect, even the feeding part which was kind of weird at first.
THE NEXT MORNING
I wake up to realize I'm being smoldered by Xan. Somewhere along the line, we must have gone from me being in Xan's arms, to her laying on top of me. My goodness she has to weigh three times more than me, at least. I kind of like it, I brush my hand through her tiny braids, and realize it's all just her natural hair. It's so soft. I lay like that for a while…
Until later when I realize she's completely awake, and sporting a huge toothy grin. Out of shock, I pulled away. How did I not notice she woke up? "now now, I'm not complaining, love". She pats the bed, and I sit awkwardly on the edge, and utter a quick, "Good morning". "It's not morning anymore, but glad to see you look better", Xan says, before teleporting my entire body to lay on top of her. I let out a little squeal. Then ask what time it is. "It is almost six pm", she says. I don't know what to say next, as all I can focus on is her beneath me. "can she feel my…", I think, as my face turns bright red.
Xan's smile turns into a smirk, as she replies to my thoughts in my mind, "I can, but I have a feeling you are not in the mood.". "Get out of my head", I yell in panic, and force myself to keep a distance again. "She must have powerful magic, since we're not pack or blood related or anything", I think. " I would be able to hear your thoughts regardless of that, but I can't seem to turn it off, might have something to do with being mates.", she replies. "Stop that!" I yell out loud, and start making my way out of the room. I didn't want Xan hearing my thoughts.
"Wait, I can help you mask your thoughts from everyone, maybe even teach you how to do it on your own later, but you can trust me. I want you to know you can trust me", she says, and I stop. I feel a little bad, she has been nothing but kind to me so far. She probably just wants a happy life with her mate not… Wait, she can still hear me. "Okay, do it", I say. She steps forward, and kisses my forehead, "there, shielded". I look at her skeptically, then yell, "you were sculpted by the gods... I have a fat ass... let's do this thing!", in my head. She has no reaction, good. I smile a little, but then the memory of the events of the past week floods in.
Seeming to know what caused the change, she asks if I want to talk about it. I tell her everything I know without any more tears, and she listens patiently. Xan doesn't seem to have a reaction though. In fact, when I'm done, she makes me another bath and suggests we go out to eat after.
