Author's note: This is from Luca's point of view
- - -
A big burden fell off my chest when Zoe didn't freak out because I lied to her for nearly a decade.
I was aware that this was not full forgiveness. Zoe will come back to this, whenever our past gets brought up, she will remember and give me a round of scolding, but she didn't cut me off completely, and I was ready to roll with it. I will take Zoe's anger versus Zoe's rejection anytime.
She accepted to take the DNA test, and I knew that will help to erase the last bits of reluctance from her mind related to us being mates.
I can contain my madness until the results of the DNA tests come out. It shouldn't be more than a few days, at most.
I was confident that I can wait but then she kissed me, and I realized that holding back will be more difficult than I imagined. Zoe was sweet and inviting, and every part of her was welcoming, made for me. Did she feel the same about me?
