~Emily ~

~January~

Me and Colby hung out at my apartment all the time. We became closer and closer, month by month. He wasn't like the others. It wasn't just about "that" for us. Our one-year anniversary was coming up soon which was super exciting. One weekend night, I was in my bedroom playing on my guitar, working on my new song, "blue eyes", when I heard an unexpected knock at my front door. I knew that it wasn't Owen because he was staying the night at Riley's house for the weekend. I looked up confused. Colby was supposed to be hanging out with his friends so I knew that it shouldn't be him. I got up from my bed and set my guitar down on the stand that was by my bed. I went to the door the answer it when all the sudden, I saw Colby in my doorway. His eyes glowed amber and stared straight into my soul. "Colby"?

~Colby~

I was casually sitting in my bedroom one night when I got the urge to go see Emily. I have no idea why, but I felt like I needed to go see her. Her scent, her touch, I needed HER.

She gasped. "Colby, your eyes"! She said concerned. "I know baby." I said as i bent down and grabbed her by her back legs and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I pinned her against the door, never breaking the kiss. We made out intensely before I gently placed her on the ground as we walked to the bedroom. We rapidly undressed each other as I pulled her shirt off as she smiled. I picked her up and moved her to the bed gingerly, I moved my head into her neck and inhaled deeply, and smirked.

~Emily~

I looked up at Colby, who was panting from exhaustion. He had a few beads of sweat dripping down his face and chest. "You ok...you're trembling"? I spoke. Colby nodded completely exhausted. "Yea, I'm fine...you up for round three"? Colby kissed my forehead as I laid my bare body on his. I looked up at him. "Wasn't two enough...you wore me out. I'm exhausted." I said flopping my head on his bare chest. "You're so cute, you know that." He said sweetly rubbing my bare back. I giggled. "That tickles." I spoke. Colby chuckled softly then looked at my neck and gasped. "Shit." He mumbled. I looked up at him confused. "What's wrong"? "You might wanna go look at your neck baby." He said looking at me hesitantly with puppy dog eyes. "Did you give me a hickey"? "Yeah, I'm sorry baby." I chuckled. "Are you embarrassed? It's fine Colby." I said as I kissed his head assuring him that everything was ok. All our friends new that we were together, I didn't bother me. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, I put on a robe on my way in. I looked over to see Colby putting on his briefs as I smiled at him. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be with someone like Colby. He truly was my everything. I made my focus back to my vanity. As I sat down to wash my face, I looked up in the mirror and looked at my neck. I saw two identical puncture marks. I covered my mouth in disbelief. It hit me like a boulder flying straight into my chest. He marked me. I'm his mate. "Did you mark me"? I asked as he walked over to me grabbing my waist never breaking eye contact. "You're my mate Emily." He said seriously. Tears started to weld in my eyes, "Colby"? I said cupping my face and sobbing into my hands. "Emily, the moment that I met you...I couldn't keep myself away from you, I never knew why...." I smiled and kissed him passionately. We both started laughing softly as we started to make out again. we flopped down on the bed as he started to kiss my neck. I giggled from him hitting a particularly ticklish spot. But then reality started to set in. He looked at me as my whole demeanor changed. "What's the matter"? I sighed nervously as I sat up on the edge of the bed. "This is gonna raise a lot of eyebrows though Colby, what are we-." Colby sighed and moved a piece of my hair from my face gently. "All you gotta say is that you got bit by something, that's not entirely wrong." He said as he smirked at me. "Colby, this is serious, this is illegal in most if not all cases"! "On the bright side...it looks really good on you...." I flipped him off. "Fuck you." I said getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom. I made my way to the shower and let my robe fall to my feet, leaving me completely naked. "And what do you think you're doing pretty eyes"? he said getting out of bed. "I'm getting in the shower. What does it look like I'm doing"? I said sarcastic, peeking my head out from the shower door. "Can I join you"? "Why? So, you can give me another mark? One is already noticeable enough Colby." I said turning on the shower. I ran my hands threw my hair as the hot water streamed out of the faucet onto my bare body. Colby came into the shower with me after undressing completely. I turned around and rolled my eyes. "I thought I told you not to follow me"! I said looking Colby up and down. I blushed slightly at his nude body. The water droplets fell onto his toned body, making his sculpted abs look even more sexy. "Enjoying the view"? I rolled my eyes and turned around. "You're annoying." I spoke as I pumped my shampoo onto my hands and lathered it, making the bubbles more prone. "Yeah, but you love it." Colby smacked my bare ass. "Colby." I said sternly as I shampooed my blonde hair. "Alright-alright I'll stop." He said as he kissed my shoulder. I giggled as I rinsed my hair out after lathering it for a minute or two. "you're goofy." I said looking at him. He chuckled. "You wanna cuddle with me after we're done, we can watch "the Blair witch project" if you want." Colby asked. I turned around and smiled. I got to chin level with him and cupped his face as I looked into his eyes pleadingly. "That sounds perfect." I said as I kissed him. I giggled. Colby made his hands down my back and legs and scooped me up off the ground and pinned my back to the shower wall. The wet, steamy tiles sent shivers down my back. My fingers ran through his wet brown, black hair as I wrapped my legs around his waist. I sighed nervously as I looked into his piercing deep blue eyes. "Baby..." he said looking at me with certainty. I sighed nervously. "Do you trust me?" Colby asked as he chuckled inches away from my face. I sighed nervously and nodded. "yes"? "it's all gonna be fine, I smirked devilishly and kissed him sweetly. "You are so tiny you know that"? I rolled my eyes. "Blame my mom, not me, she's barely taller by an inch or two." "How tall even are you Em'"? I looked away embarrassed. "Awe, c'mon Emily, I'm just teasing." He said kissing my forehead. He put me back down on the shower floor gently. "You're a giant." "Well, you're like 3'o so everyone's a giant to you." "I'm 5'5 thank you very much and you're like 7 feet tall, so everyone is a midget to you." He chuckled. "I'm 6'3 thank you very much." He said mocking me. "You were just mocking me weren't you"? I said looking him up and down. "Yes...yes I was..." "bloke." I said as I rolled my eyes and turned around to finish washing off my body with my vanilla body. "Need help"? I nodded. "Yes please." I said looking over my shoulder and smiling at him as he grabbed my luffa and started to rub it all over my body. he started n v massaging my upper back with my luffa. I moaned in comfort as he looked at the bite mark on my neck. "Do you want me to clean up the mark, it's bleeding a little." I nodded. "But be gentle." "I will... for real this time...." He grabbed a rag and gently tapped my neck to stop the bleeding. "Ouch baby." I said still in a little bit of pain. He grimaced slightly. "Sorry sweetheart, it'll be a little sore tomorrow. But it'll go away." He said as he kissed my neck softly. I giggled. "There we go...all good baby doll" "Ok, thank you." I got on the tips of my toes and kissed him again romantically.
