Following his lead, but mostly for the benefit of someone else, I keep mine low too. “Audrey’s asleep upstairs and Anita needed a walk.”

“Long night, eh?” Bodin asks, reading between the lines.

I don’t deny the inference. “Very long, verynicenight.”

Bodin claps me on the back while keeping one arm around the babies. “I’m happy for you. And happy to see you out in the sunshine. Glad you’re finally making use of that sunscreen.”

Lifting my face upward, I bask a little more in the warmth as I admit, “I fear I’ve been living in the dark too long. The season is ripe for change.”

“Whatever you need, I’m here,” Bodin says, punctuating the word with a squeeze to my shoulder.

I nod my thanks. “Same to you.”

When Bodin wanders back to his cottage, I stay out there for a while longer, appreciating the sights and sounds of the island.

Eventually, I call Anita inside and head straight for the kitchen. While the pup drinks water from her bowl, I get a fresh bag of blood and feed ravenously, needing the sustenance after all of mine and Audrey’s vigorous activities.

Earlier this morning, the temptation to bite Audrey was fairly strong. Luckily I was able to manage it well with all the precautions I took. After this bag is drained, I might just sneak upstairs again and wake her up with my cock.

Never could I have imagined Audrey’s sexual appetite would match so well with mine. It’s an honor to be granted free use of her body, an honor I’ll never squander, one I’ll reward her for most handsomely.

I stare down at Anita as she wrestles with a toy, and wonder what I should do next.

Would it be better to start cleaning the kitchen now before Audrey wakes, or maybe head into town and get something for her to eat? Or perhaps I should wake her up in case she needs insulin? It’s been quite some time since her last injection.

Finally, I settle on asking Audrey directly, not wanting to assume too much or seem like I’m trying to take over her care when she’s only just shared everything with me.

I check that Anita is secure and that all the outside doors are closed so she won’t wander off anywhere, then dash up the stairs and to my room. To Audrey.

Opening the curtain on her side, I sit on the edge of the bed and give myself a moment to take her in.

Audrey really is beautiful, fine boned and delicate. Until she wakes and you realize she’s larger-than-life, the creature others gravitate toward, a natural leader, and someone who’ll always keep you on your toes.

“Good afternoon, darling,” I say gently, brushing a lock of hair off her forehead.

Audrey groggily struggles to open her eyes. “It can’t be afternoon,” she mumbles. “Impossible.”

I pull the blanket down to her waist and watch her nipples pebble at the sensation of the soft fabric grazing over them.

“Need some motivation to wake up?” I ask, leaning down and sucking one nipple into my mouth.

“Yes,” Audrey mumbles again, but sounding a tad less sleepy this time. Without fully opening her eyes, she finds my hand and guides it straight to her core.

“Your wish is my command,” I whisper as I proceed to rub slow circles around her clit.

Audrey grabs onto my arm, her hips undulating underneath me as she positions me exactly where she wants. I push a single finger inside her and crook it against her front wall, keeping up my steady rhythm until her climax rolls through her in a quiet, lazy, wave.

“Can I get one of those again tomorrow morning?” Audrey asks with a drowsy smile perched on her lips.

“Whenever you want,” I say, then press a kiss to her forehead. Sitting up again, I fidget with the hem of my kilt. “I was wondering what to do next and didn’t want to assume anything so I thought it better to ask you. How long can you go between insulin injections? Or is it better to eat first when you wake up? If you need a specific meal I can run into town and get you something, anything you like. Or if you want the snacks in your—”

Audrey presses a finger to my mouth and pulls me down, kissing me hard. “Thank you for not assuming. I need a finger-prick test first to check my levels, then I can think of the next step. Water is usually what I want most when I wake up, then food and meds follow after.”

I memorize the list, filing it somewhere in the back of my mind for any future references. “Got it. Can I bring your tests here? Or if you prefer I can carry you to your room?”

Audrey cups my jaw and glides her thumb across my cheek. “You’re a bit of a worrier, aren’t you?”

I fold my fingers over hers. “Not with everyone. But you, Audrey, you’re special.”
