as he touched me bright blue sparks flew between us. Actual sparks. I was affected by the connection between us from the tips of my toes, to the top of my head. It resembled liquid lightening surging through my body except, with no actual pain. My sex clenched and instantly I was aroused. We both stopped and looked into each others eyes as I heard Talos sigh loudly. And so it begins he sent You have finally found each other and the prophecy will be fulfilled. At this point we both looked toward Talos as he exited the lair without further ado. We watched him fly up and out above the canyon and Patros told me that Talos had gone to hunt for food. Then asked me if I was hungry. I instantly realised how hungry I was, famished in fact and a little light headed after all I had been through. Grateful to be able to sit down near the fire that now roared. Patros handed me a goblet, with what looked and smelled like red wine. I sniffed at it noticing that Patros had a goblet filled with the same liquid. After I had seen him take a sip or two I felt confidant enough to try a taste. It tasted like a rich and full bodied red wine, delicious. Happy now I was settled he disappeared. A short while later as I listened to the rattling of pots and pans. I detected the aroma of roasting meat begin to waft in from around the corner. Patros approached and once again held my hand. This time making my whole body hum as he led me around said corner. There, a little wooden table stood with a bench adjacent. Cutlery and dishes were set out. Sitting together on the bench we ate from a platter of roasted meat and vegetables. Some of which I thought I recognised, or hoped I did. Some I didn't. The food was really tasty but by then I was so hungry that almost anything would have tasted good to me. We had finished our meal when Patros asked if I needed the bathroom to wash up before bed. I continued to stare at him as I thought How on earth would there be a bathroom in a cave? But, upon inspection I observed a door in the alcove that he pointed to close by where we had just ate. I walked toward it, opened the door and was shocked to find a proper working bathroom. It had running water, shower, bath and toilet. Large white fluffy towels stood stacked neatly on a small table set into the corner. I wasted no time in having a wash and noted that this time there would be no escape through a window as this room had none. Once back inside the cave, Patros showed me the sleeping circle I had noted upon entering. He enquired if I was tired and at this point I couldn't stop myself as I tried to stifle a yawn. I had had an unbelievable long day. “ Where will you sleep?” I said although I thought I already knew the answer to that question. At this point Talos chose to return and began to settle in his own sleeping area adjacent. Talos looked in my eyes and said in my head Patros will sleep with you, of course. You are destined to be his mate He said this as if it was a given. He continued The werewolf pack who captured you are searching already. They have your scent therefore it won’t take them long to track you. Once you and Patros are mated your scent will change. This will make it more difficult for them. Also when mating is completed we will all be connected. Patros will be able to talk to you telepathically and visa versa. At this Talos closed his eyes and soon snored softly. I lay on my back inspecting the large ceiling of the cave as I listened to Patros in the bathroom having what sounded like a shower. I fully intended to address the “big pink elephant in the room” when he returned. Before long my eyes began to close as I drifted off into my first dreamless sleep in a good while. I woke up in a total panic with no clue where I was. I thought I had dreamt what had happened, or, who I was with. Someone's legs tangled in mine, their arms around my waist, snuggled as tight as could be. My whole body vibrating as if
