The Sweetest Honey

No Apologies needed

(Goliath’s point of view)

The girls step out onto the balcony, and I immediately look to Jack.

“Here take this and put it in your pocket!” I hand him the envelope I have been holding on to. He puts it in his pocket right away.

“What is it?”

“It’s..” I stop talking as the girls come back in. I look to see if she heard or suspected something, but she just looks confused or deep in thought. I think she doesn’t know.

“How did we get here in such a short amount of time. This looks nothing like Nevada.” Before I can even speak, Wendy starts to tell her about our trip here.

“CLARA , I can’t believe I didn’t tell you! We went through a portal. Magic is real, and I thought Goliath was a nut job who was going to kill us driving down a cliff.” “(No offense)” she looks to me real quick. “ But we arrived back here safely, and it was so amazing.” Out of breath, she sits back down on the bed.

“ Wow ok Should we go see Wendy’s room now?”

“Don’t you want to see your closet or bathroom first?” She looks around and then back to me.

“Where are they?”

“Oh, sorry, I forgot the doors don’t stick out so much.” I walk over to one side of the bed and grab the indent in the wall and slides open a door, then I walk over to the other side and do the same thing. Clara walks over to the bathroom first.

“Wendy you have to see this! It is our dream bathroom.” Both the girls walk in and start chatting about everything they see. I walk in with Jack behind me.

“Wendy your bathroom and closet is just like Clara’s so I hope you will like them too.”

“The closet!” Wendy runs past us and out to the closet. She ran so fast that I thought my head was going to spin. I look over at Clara.

“She is kind of a clothes addict.” She says, shrugging her shoulders. We just leave to go see what trouble she could be causing.

I just stand there watching them have fun looking around. Clara seems to like everything, I hope. I want everything to be perfect for her. I still haven’t explained about her being a Luna if she accepts me. To be honest, I am still terrified of rejection. I see her looking closely at the clothes and decide to explain myself.

“I asked Clara’s mother about both your clothing sizes so you would have a few extra things to wear. I hope that’s ok.” Clara glances around the room for another moment before saying anything.

“Everything is wonderful, Goliath. I just hope you didn’t spend too much.” I give her a stern look because I want her to just let me provide for her. It is important to me and my wolf that we give her more than enough. I see her squirm under my gaze as she stands there speechless. I can smell a slight bit of arousal coming from her. I think I may have discovered a kink. I must proceed with caution since she still hasn’t opened up about what happened at the restaurant. Wendy breaks the tension between us.

“Can I see my room now?”

“Sure but now that you are mates with Jack, I am not so positive it can compete with being in his room.”

I look at Jack, and I have never seen him happier. I am sure they will move in together in no time. I look back at Clara, and I can sense something is wrong. I know a few nice things isn’t going to change the fact that her life has turned around overnight. I still have so much to talk to her about, but I just want to give her a taste of the good side of living this life before I have to introduce her to all the hard parts. I better check on her so she knows she isn’t alone in this.

“Go ahead, you two, Clara and I will meet up with you in a moment.” They take off without a word.

“What’s wrong, Clara? You look sad. Is something wrong with the room because I will have them take everything out and start over again.” She jumps into my arms, surprising me. She looks up at me with big sad eyes. “I am sorry.”

I look down at her, completely caught off guard. I can’t imagine what she could have thought she did.

“What on earth for?” She takes a couple of deep breaths, steadying herself.

“I am sorry that I have been a bad mate so far.” I can’t understand how she could think that. Even after everything, she has decided to stay and not run away.

“Clara why would you even think that?” I hug her, hoping my scent will calm her down. I can hear her breathing me in, and her body stops shaking completely.

“Goliath you have been so perfect to me. You have been patient and loving and … and I have done nothing but throw fits and push my anger onto you when none of this is your fault. I would have eventually found out the truth about me and my father, but at least now that I have you, I am not going to be alone in this.” I am glad she got all that out, but I can’t have thinking she is less than the best thing in my life.

“Sweetheart, you have nothing at all to be sorry for. Your feelings are valid and true. You have every right to have emotions just like everyone else does. As for me, I have never felt luckier in my life. You are the best thing to ever happen to me, and it’s a gift to help see you through this. You are so strong and are taking this unbelievably well, whether you know that or not.”

We look into each other’s eyes. I consider asking her to officially accept me as her mate now, but I almost feel like I can’t move or speak. She grabs my face and plants a strong, hot kiss on my lips. I almost feel dizzy from the tangling sensation. Our mate bond is growing stronger by the minute. She let’s go abruptly and leaves me standing there frozen. She giggles and runs out the door. I stand there and smile like a fool. I love the way she teases me. I love teasing her even more.
