The Broken Warrior's Daughter

“Lily! Oh my goddess! What was that tonight?”

As soon as the guys left my room, Cali jumped on me.

“What? I’ve kissed Clint a few times. He’s a really good kisser.”

“Lily, do you realize that you would kiss from through like four songs?” Okay, no, | didn’t realize that.

“What happened to not giving in to them?” She asks me.

“I'm not giving in to him. I’ve been very clear that | won’t have sex with him, and he doesn’t push it. He’s actually been rather sweet about it. He doesn’t push me to do more than I’m comfortable with.” | tell her.

“Did you kiss Anders tonight?” | ask her.

Her blush is answer enough, but | want to hear her say it.

“Yes.” She turns away from me, grabbing her nightgown. “But nothing like what you and Clint did.” “Was he a good kisser?” | ask her, ignoring her comment about me and Clint.

She turns and looks at me. “Yeah, he was.” She says with a smile.

“When is your date?”

“Tomorrow. He wants to take me out, then dinner, then a surprise.”

“Are you going to let him kiss you again?”

“Do you think he wants to?”

“Definitely.” | tell her.

“It's nice, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it is. Now, I’m going to shower then I’m going to meet Clint on the roof. You can sleep in my bed, I'll be gone all night.” “Lily, | thought you said you were only kissing him and not giving in to him.”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“And that’s all we do, Cali, things with my family have been awful and | was scared, and he’s been there for me. | sleep better beside him.”

“You're falling for him, aren’t you?”

I shrug. | am, but saying it out loud makes it more real.

She gives me a knowing look. “Oh yeah, you are totally falling for him. Wait! Do you think he’s your mate?”

I sit on the bed beside her. “I don’t know Cali, but | have to say, after hearing him talk about his mate, | don’t think it would be a bad thing if | was.”

“What do you mean?”

“When we were at breakfast we talked about all sorts of things. He told me that his mate would be his everything, that he would love her more than anything else in the world.”

Cali's eyes go wide, and | can tell appreciates the sentiment as much as | do. ” Whoa, he said that?”

“Yeah, and Cali? | could tell he meant it. He was so serious, like finding his mate was the most important thing for him.”

“So, wait, if you’re his mate, then he’s talking about you. But if you're not...” She trails off.

“Yeah, | need to be careful that | don’t fall for him. But it’s so hard. He’s different than | expected. When we train, he’s hardcore, pushing me to my limits but never letting me fall and never pushing me too hard. When we're in class or studying, he pushes me

mentally. He’s really smart and you know that’s a total turn on for me. And then when it’s just the two of us, he’s so sweet. And his kisses. Cali, the things that man can do with his tongue.”

She and | break down into giggles, falling back onto the bed. “Well then, go shower and go sleep with your man.”

I sit up, looking down at her. “He’s not my man.”

“Sure sounds like he is.” She says, giving me her knowing smile.

“I'm starting to really hope that | am his mate. | think he’d make a great mate.” | say smiling, before | get up and head to the shower.

When I'm done, | put on my shorts and nightshirt and head to the window. “No one should come by, but if they do...”

“You're in the bathroom and | think maybe you ate something that didn’t agree with you. No telling how long you'll be in there.” She finishes smiling at me.
