Just One Drop

Decebel felt a smile spread across his face not really a happy one, more like a I just got away with sneaking a cookie from the cookie jar smile. Six months ago, he wouldn't even have considered texting, but since Fane and some of the other young wolves had started to, he had sort of been forced to, and learn the lingo on top of that.
Turned out, Decebel preferred texting to talking any day. Except with his mate. But it will have to do for now, he thought.
"I'll return in a moment. I will have to get Jen's number."
"Hurry," Decebel growled, but added, "please."
Decebel paced and paced as he waited for his lifeline to be brought to him. If he'd any doubts about Jennifer being his mate, they had been abolished while he felt his rage grow at being apart from her.
Eventually Vasile walked in, holding out his phone. Decebel forced himself to retract his claws so he would be able to text unencumbered.
He didn't acknowledge Vasile as he left.
Decebel found her name in his contacts list and pressed the text button. A blank screen came up with a key board below it.
Decebel txt: Jennifer
He waited, growling when she didn't respond immediately. His phone finally vibrated as her text appeared.
Jennifer txt: Fur ball
Decebel growled, but grinned at her smart mouth. His phone vibrated again before he could respond.
Jennifer txt: r u ok?
She cared. His heart was in his throat as he read the simple text.
Decebel txt: slightly grumpy
Jennifer txt: so ur ok then
Decebel laughed, feeling his wolf settle, if only a little. It was enough to keep him sane.

Jennifer txt: LET? really
Decebel knew the only way he was going to get her to go to sleep would be reverse psychology. As much as he wanted to sit and text her all night, she needed her rest.

Decebel scrolled through their texts, smiling at her playfulness. It wasn't enough, but it would get him through the night.
Jennifer curled into a ball in the bed that she'd told Decebel was too big to be in by herself. All day she had kept herself busy. Now here, in the dark, she could feel the hole that was widening with every moment away from Decebel.
She had been thrilled when Vasile had told her she could text him. She smiled to herself, remembering his texts. Decebel had a sweet, romantic side. And bloody hell if it wasn't the sexiest thing ever. She closed her eyes and thought of him. His handsome face, dark hair, amber eyes.... She fell asleep to the memories of her mate's deep, soothing voice and strong body holding her.
