Mirror Lake 2 The Journey to Save the Magic

We’d made it to a hotel on the outskirts of Arizona. While it is beautiful here, there is nothing around for miles, and we needed to rest.

More importantly, I needed a shower!

I looked over at Ethan, who was laying on his bed and just pulling out his phone to call his girl and nodded to him. I’d leave him to have his privacy.

I trudged into the bathroom and chucked off my clothes.

I turned on the water and waited until it was steaming hot and dragged myself under the scorching water.

It relaxed my muscles and I got out the body wash and started washing myself down.

I closed my eyes as I pictured my beautiful Melissa.

I would love to have her join me in my shower. I could use my hands on her wet, soapy skin. She would smell like lavender soap.

I want to slide my hands all over her soft body, massaging her muscles from a long day. I would make her feel so good.

I can almost feel her hands trailing down my hard body.

I pictured kissing every inch of her skin and nuzzling her belly with my face. I wanted to touch every dip and curve of her body. Trace her collarbone with my lips.

A groan broke through my lips.

My heartbeat picked up and my chest started heaving up and down.

I wanted to feel that transfer of magic that sizzled in our skin. I wanted to feel us become one…

I didn’t know I had been stroking myself until my body convulsed with need and I spread my seed all over the shower wall.

I’ve never done that before!

I’m so embarrassed… I was so glad Ethan couldn’t hear me in here.

Even though my body got the release it needed, I still needed the touch of my mate. I needed to hold her in my arms. I ached for her. I ached for our bond. I ached for her touch.

My whole body yearns for Melissa. My brain can’t process any information other than she isn’t here with me, and I need her! Everything I think about is her! I can’t think of anything that doesn’t have to do with my woman… I’m starting to go crazy.

I really don’t want to worry Ethan, but my mind has been spiraling the last two hours. I don’t know if it’s me, or her, or the distance between us…. I just don't know!

I’ve become more obsessed with her than before, and I don’t even know how that was possible! There is this sickness in my mind pulling me back to her. I want to take Ethan up on the private jet idea and fly home to my butterfly!

Does she feel this? Can she feel my ache for her? Does she ache for me? Does she miss me even half as much as I need her?

All I know is if I can’t even take this pain, I have no idea how Mel is handling this!

There is this impending doom plaguing my heart. This premonition that something bad will happen if I’m not there, and I need to fix it!

My brow started to sweat, and not from the shower!

I quickly turned off the water and grabbed my towel and threw it around me.

My hands start to shake, and I’m starting to see spots. My breathing sped up, and my heart was banging in my chest.

I think I’m gonna have a panic attack. I need to see her before I implode.

I’m so lonely! I can’t stand not being with her.

I love Ethan like a brother, but he is not the sibling I need at the moment!

I felll to my knees and doubled over trying to catch my breath.

Suddenly Ethan is at the doorway.

He took one look at me and handed me his phone, while slinging his arm over my shoulder, trying to support me.

“Nate!” Mel’s voice floats on my ears like a symphony.

“I miss you,” I whispered.

“I know, baby! I know… I can feel you panicking! Don't worry! The baby and I are just fine!” she assured me.

And it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, but before I can stand on my own two feet, my world goes black and the last thing I hear is my name screamed through the small receiver of the phone.
