Blaze POV

I want him so bad. I want to have him completely. But I don't know if I am ready for that. Will he be mad at me?

I stand up. "Eric I am so sorry. I want to be with you in that way but I don't think I am ready for that. Especially after today. Can we please slow down?"

I feel him pull me back into his lap. "Babe we will take this as slow or fast as you want. I just want you to be comfortable and happy."

"Why dont you go get ready for bed?" I guess he saw the look on my face. "Dont worry I will sleep on the couch."

I hate putting him out but I dont feel safe to sleep in the dorm.

I go in the bathroom to get ready for bed. After brushing my teeth and getting in my pajamas I go back in the living room to see Eric has made the couch up for himself.

Eric takes my hand and leads me to the bedroom. I get in the bed and he tucks the blankets around me. He bends over kisses me on the forehead.

"I am going to leave the door open in case you need me. Good night babe."

"Good night Eric."

It's still hard to believe that the ruthless leader of dauntless can be so warm and loving. Part of me wishes other people could see his true self but then I am selfish and I want to keep his true self to myself.

I toss and turn for thirty minutes. I can't seem to be able to fall asleep. I listen carefully but I don't hear Eric snoring so he is probably awake.

"Eric?" I say lightly in case he is sleeping.

"You okay? You need anything?" I can tell from his voice he hadn't been asleep.

"I can't go to sleep."

I can see his shadow get up and walk over to the bookcase and then he walks in the bedroom with a book in his hand.

"This is a book of fairy tales. I use to read them to my little sister when she couldn't sleep. You want me to read one to you?"

"Yes please. I didn't know you had a younger sister." Eric use to read stories to his little sister. The thought makes me smile.

"May I get under the blankets with you?" he asked me nervously. His gentless towards me is so sweet.

I hold up the blanket so he can slide into the bed. He takes a couple of pillows to prop behind him so he can half lay half sit up. I slide over to him and lay my head on his bare chest. He wraps an arm around me and opens the book with the other.

Last thing I remember is the feel of Eric's naked chest under my head and his voice as he read me a story about a girl named Cinderella.

I feel someone's arm around me. I open my eyes to take a peek and I see I am still on Eric's chest. He is sound asleep with the book open in the bed beside him.

I manage to slip out his grip without waking him up.

I go in his kitchen grateful to find some food I can cook for breakfast. I pull out his coffee maker and get the coffee brewing.

I dig around in his fridge and cabinets to see what all I can put together. I end up with mushroom n cheese omlete, bacon, sliced stawberries and bananas with toast.

He is still asleep when everything is ready so I decide to find a tray and serve him breakfast in bed.

I fix him a cup of coffee because he isn't the only one that knows how the other likes their coffee.
