Selena was happy when she saw the look in his eyes that spoke his answer for him. He kissed her hand and gently touvhed the side of her face before walking around to the otherside and getting under the covers. She needed to have him with her in order to sleep; she just knew that she did. Before she was able to turn and face him though his strong warm arms wrapped around her and pulled her close to his chest. There were no blankets seperated his naked body from her own but she did not care at all. His head lightly rested on her shoulder and with him so close she could feel his heart beat. She would not be alone tonight for the first time in her life because she had Cody here with her. It did not take long before she fell sound asleep surronded by his arms, heart, and masculine scent....<br/><br/>THe next day Selena woke, not because of the sun, but because of Cody's sudden rappid heart beat and breathing. She shifted a little in his arms as she tried to wake herself further but when he quickly took his hands off of her she became worried. She opened her eyes but had to squint from the brightness of the riing sun. Cody had gotten up and closed the blinds which was a nice reprieve to her stinging eyes.She sat up a little in bed and watched him as he got dressed with only a soft blush to her cheeks. She was trying to get used to the nudity that seemed to be the norm for the other pack members, but she couldn't change her outlook on it in a single day.<br/><br/>She was also a little confused now on where she stood next to Cody now. He had made it pretty obvious that she was his when he had kissed her in front of te entire pack but she wondered if he had done it to comfort himself. He had just lost a friend and so maybe he was using her to fill that void but.... yesterday when she had been stuck in that aweful flashback she could have sworn she might have heard 'love you' from Cody's lips. She was really confused and almost didn't see Cody until he had leaned down to kiss her cheek,<span style="font-style: italic">"I hope you slept well."</span>She looked at him and saw his soft smile and felt 0the gentleness of his hand running through her hair. She was once more reminded of how kind he was to her when she caused nothing but problems and was a burden to him.<br/><br/>Still... she was feeling selfish and so she leaned into his hand slightly. She nodded lightly and smiled, "Yes I did..." In fact she had not even dreamed for the first time in her life. She always dreamed of those red eyes and the womans screams but this time, with Cody so close to her, she had slept blissfully unaware of anything around her. She closed her eyes for a moment and absentmindedly made sure that the covers were still over her breasts as she just breathed in his scent. Finally she looked back up at him and spoke, "Do you mind if I take a shower?" She blushed lightly as she once more thought of her state of undress, "And some new cloths?" She had almost forgotten that her cloths from yesterday had been ruined when she had shifted into a wolf.<br/><br/>That also reminded her of something. Her hand gently reached out to his side with concern in her eyes she asked, "I remember that you had marks on your back. Are you okay? I mean they looked new..."
