Jade pauses for a moment, thinking. "I like to draw, I guess." She says, shrugging her shoulders. I chuckle. "No no no. Tell me something juicier." I say, lightly pinching her cheek, trying to get her mind off things. She sighs. "Ummm. Oh, this one is embarrassing. I've only slept with one guy before. It was never any good though, he never managed to make me finish." She says as her face grows red. I laugh to myself, knowing that she probably wouldn't have told me that if she wasn't drunk. She nudges my shoulder.

"Your turn." She says smiling. I look at her, furrowing my brows. "No way." I say. She frowns at me and crosses her arms. "Come on! I just told you an embarrassing secret, now you have to tell me one." She whines, slurring her words. I think for a moment. "Okay fine." I say sighing. She sits up eagerly. I take a deep breath as I prepare to reveal my secret. "A few years ago, I got a vasectomy." I utter.

 She cocks her head to the side. "How come?" she asks, pressing for more details. I raise an eyebrow at her. "Nope, not telling." I tell her. She pouts her bottom lip and gives me puppy eyes. "Pleaseeeee." she begs, batting her long eyelashes. I look down at my hands and sigh, trying to find the words. "Because...I have a breeding kink." I say shyly. I look back up to Jade, her face has turned bright red. I blush, becoming rather embarrassed. "I think that may be enough secrets for tonight." I say, half laughing. She nods in agreement, still as red as a tomato.

I shimmy under the blankets and pull her close to me. My hands shake slightly as I lift her chin to look at me. "Please don't ever scare me like that again." I say softly, yet sternly. Her eyes glisten as she meets my gaze. "I won't. I promise." She responds, holding out her pinky finger. "I pinky promise." She says with a small smile. I link mine in hers and smirk. I take a risk and lean forward, gently pressing my lips against hers. I feel her hand snake up my arm up to my neck as she kisses me back deeply. 

My body relaxes and I gently caress her cheek as I continue to kiss her. Her lips feel like velvet and her face grows warm again. Kissing her is getting addictive, as if she's a drug. I want to keep coming back for more. Her lips quiver as she lowers her hands from my neck. I don't want to push her boundaries, so I pull back. I rest my forehead gently on hers and look into her soft hazel eyes, noticing flecks of green scattered through her irises. Her eyes shine as they fill with more tears. "What's the matter love?" I ask softly as I hold her cheek in my hand. The tears fall, staining her shirt slightly. 

"I'm really sorry for worrying you..." She mumbles under her breath. I rest my chin on the top of her head and gently stroke her hair to soothe her. "It's alright, I'm just glad I was in time to stop you. I sped home so fast once I got that message." I coo to her. She sniffles as I hold her. "Can we maybe cuddle tonight? It's okay if you don't want to." she asks shyly. I kiss her forehead. "Of course, my love." I lower myself into the bed and open my arms up for her to crawl in. She pulls the blanket over us as she settles down next to me, pulling her knees to her chest. Her fingers travel up my chest and finds one of my braids resting on my shoulder. She swirls it in her hand as she rests her head on my chest. 

Her body is warm against my skin as she scooches herself closer to me. I never knew how much she likes physical touch. I've never been a very touchy person until I met her. Her touch calls to me, beckoning me in as her hands graze my skin ever so slightly. 

Her eyes struggle to stay open as she slowly drifts to sleep in my arms. In her attempt to stay awake, she leans her head up, and softly kisses my cheek. I feel my face grow warm as she lays her head back down on my chest. I gently run my fingers up and down her spine as her eyes shut and her breaths become more and more shallow. Her body lies still as my mind wanders. How could someone as sweet as she, have such a terrible past. If only I had met her sooner. I would do anything for her. Kill for her. Lie for her. Die for her.
