You Can't Run From Your Destiny

Chapter Twenty Six

We both drop to the bed. Both he and I were tired and sweaty. I turned my back to him and curled up. We were fully mated now with a new mark. 

He sighed, "I am sorry Faith I shouldn't have done that until you were ready. I turned back towards him, put my hand his cheek, and pulled his face to look at me. His eyes held sorrow.

"Do you regret it," I had to know the answer.

"God no Faith I loved it. I thought you were mad at me." I shook my head and kissed him.

"No, I wanted that. I  just don't see why you are sorry though." I turned back around and curled into a ball due to the coldness. I felt the bed shift and heard a sigh and the shutting of a door. My heart was crushed.

Was I bad? Did he not want to do it? What did I do wrong? I was about to close my eye and cry myself to sleep when I heard the door open. In walks Ashton now in boxers. He rubs his hand through his hair and gets into bed. Oh god he did regret it. I felt tears slip out.

God when did I become such a baby? I felt the bed shift some more. Freezing my butt of I was about to pull the cover up, but instead I am wrapped in warmth. Ashton had wrapped his arms around me. The sparks ignited like crazy. He loves me but didn't want to have sex with me. I felt the grip tighten. He turned me over to look at him.

"Faith, I.Do.Not.Regret.It okay? I was worried about you. Stop second guessing this." I looked down.

He growled, "Look at me, please." I ponder whether or not to look into his anger filled eyes, and decide not to.

He pulls my face up, and begins to kiss me. We made love for the second time that night. I fell asleep in his arms. No longer did I think he regret it. He loved me no matter what. After every kiss this time or every thrust he would say, "I love you, Faith."

When I went to bed I turned over, and I tried to go to bed. It was too hard I kept tossing and turning. I couldn't go to sleep. I looked at the clock. It was just now midnight. I sighed, and was going to get out of the bed. I barely got off the bed before I was pulled down. A muscular arm wrapped around my waist, and my head place on his chest.

"Don't think I didn't see you tossing and turning,' he said, " why didn't you come towards me to sleep? You know I am here."

I looked at him, "I thought you would need space, I mean most guys at my old school would sleep with a girl and not want her around him the next day."

He growled and pulled my in closer, "I want you around me. Without you I'd be nothing."

I looked at him. He smiled down at me and kissed my forehead. His grip was tight and his chin was rest on my forehead. I shifted to where my legs wrapped around him, and carefully tried not to hit his man pride. I pulled my arm to my chest and put the other one around him, and fell asleep as easy as that.
