I gleamed at her taking another sip of my drink. So maybe I shouldn't have joked with her about that. But at the same time, it was helping me to determine if maybe she was going into heat. Her mood swings were quick to change from sad, happy, playfully, irritable, and mad.
If that's the case, her jealous behavior may not only be the bond connection but it could be her heat cycle. If my assumptions are correct it would mean the moon phase is nearing. Before the moon phase comes the females' hormones get unstable to prep the body to conceive an unborn. All the breeding women and some marrying-age teenage girls will be going into heat during the Moon Phase. Since conception is highest during the moon phase compared to any other day.
Already I've noticed coming back home a lot of the women are being irritable with their husbands. Even some of the slaves and servants are acting moody. Normally the ladies don't act this way. Since their all behaving like this, it likely means their going into heat. Once the moon phase raises in full. It will increase a higher body temperature and the woman can act strange. However, the women with a bond connection will go into excruciating pain from their body temperature spiking higher to mate.
So this has me concerned for Sally since she and I can't mate. Her heat cycle will be very painful for her. I'll need to figure out how I can help her get through it since we can't mate out of wedlock. I'd break my promise to her and it would shame her as my future wife.
"Is something wrong?" Sally randomly asked pulling me out of my worried thoughts.
"I was just thinking Maria should be home tomorrow." I lied.
Sally fall for the lie and looked at me happier. "I hope so it was boring without her today." She admitted.
"I'm sorry you were kinda on your own today." I sincerely said. "Before I leave tomorrow I'll make sure Maria is here."
Sally looked at me puzzled. "I thought you'll be at training before sunrise?"
"I won't be training tomorrow," I informed. "I'll be meeting my one ally from a different Kingdom. He and I have some business to discuss."
"Oh, will you be gone long?" She asked.
"I shouldn't be," I told her finding myself beaming to notice it seemed like she did need me.
"Who's the ally your meeting?" She asked only wondering.
"Primary King Deacon, he's a good friend of mine." I shared with her and then asked to get her off this topic. "So tell me what are some of your favorite colors?"
"Why do you ask?" She cutely giggles.
"Because I want to know what you like," I said. "Plus I wanna get you a phone soon. So I wanna be sure I pick the right colors."
"I don't know how to use a phone," Sally said. "I've never had one."
"No, worries. I'll make the setup very basic. Aaron and I can work with you by each step." I explained and asked. "Anyways, do you like pink?"
Sally laughed and asked sarcastically. "Does it look like I wear anything pink?"
I chuckled and said. "No, I have mostly been seeing you wear black and blue colors. Which I thought you looked very beautiful in those colors."
"Well, thank you," She gleamed. "It shows your paying attention."
"Of course, I am. How could I not pay attention to your beauty?" She blushed big when I told her that. Again she even put a piece of hair behind her ear and did her best to try hiding her pretty smile. But she couldn't fool me.
"Well, I like black, blue, pearl blue, purple, and red. My top choice would be black, blue, or even a greenish aqua blue. But pearl blue is my most favorite." She answered sweetly.
I took a moment to look deeply into her innocent eyes and said. "Alright, that gives me something to work with. I'll have Cora remove all the pink out of your wardrobe."
"It doesn't bug me if it's in there," she said with a blushing smile toward me."
"No, I'll have it removed this way it will give you more space to get things you like whenever you go shopping." I insisted adamantly. "I just had Cora give you a variety of colors and styles."
Sally slightly nods and yawns sweetly then smiles at me. "Well, I think I'm heading off to bed it's getting late." She said, "I'm feeling tired."
She stood up with her glass in her hand and asked "Where do you want the glass?"
For a second my eyes were in a daze by how beautiful she looked when getting sleepy. I stood up and put my glass on the coffee table and took her glass gently from her hand to set it down next to mine. Very fondly to show she meant more to me than anything else within our worlds. I brought her into my arms from around her waist and smiled full-heartedly in my passion for her. What made this better is she gleamed passionately at me too. I didn't even have to make another move. Her upper body met mine and she cuddled up underneath my neck. I knew she was listening to my heartbeat. Her forearms and palms rested up against my torso. Using my palms, I drew cycles on her back giving her a meaningful massaging hug. I took a moment to enjoy the feeling of her lightweight bodyweight pressing against me. So I kissed her hair tenderly and sweet three times around the top of her head.
Sally lifted her head upward at me. The tension was heated between us. And the way she batts her eyelashes was making me wanna kiss her porcelain fair lips. Even a faint smile formed on her partly spaced lips. We stare into each other's eyes dazzled by this enchantment captivating us. I couldn't resist any longer and slowly drove my face down toward her. As she even tilted her facial posture giving me a promising sign. Our eyes stayed on each other when I titled my face and went in to snatch her lips. But just as I did, she pushed up against my pecs. Her face backed away from mine. I didn't have a choice but to release her from my hands. Slowly she slid out of my arms as my heart pined to kiss her. But her face was still smiling pleasantly, so it helped me to feel a bit better. After all, I don't wanna rush anything too soon for her, I reminded myself.
