Everything That is Sweet and Beautiful

Chapter 24

Jeremy's P.O.V

To wake up and see your mate's face, first in the morning, is such a pleasant feeling. Yesterday's event still feels like a dream to me, but Ryan cuddling me, in deep sleep with hickeys visible, tells me otherwise. We actually made love yesterday and I couldn't help being overjoyed at the thought. I am falling deeper and deeper in love with him. Ryan doesn't talk much about his feelings but I can see he loves me the same way as I love him. He shows his love through actions, slightest of them, which goes unnoticed by everyone else. But I catch them. Between us, I am the outspoken one and I had never forced Ryan to do anything which is against his ill and never will. My love has suffered so much and I will never let him suffer again. "Good morning" I heard my sleepy mate. He had not completely woken up from his sleep. "Good morning Choco pie" I wished him back. Well that name just came out of my mouth but Ryan seems to not mind, but instead snuggled closer to me. "Sleep some more. We had a long night yesterday. I will wake you up after sometime" I said. I can see Ryan turning red at the mention of last night and he is adorable! Oh God! I am whipped! After settling Ryan, properly on bed, I went to brush my teeth and shower. I hummed a song to myself. I am still in good spirits and my day is going to much more better. After taking a shower, I went to wake Ryan up. "Wake up Choco pie." I whispered in his ears. He opened his eyes groggily and he looked so cute that I couldn't resist kissing him. The good thing is Ryan started to be more open to his feelings and mine also. The simple fact that he responded to my kiss made me more happy, earlier it would be him just blushing away. Not that I am complaining. He still has that shyness but at the same time more liberal with physical touches and.....he is smiling more. Like right now, the first thing he did immediately after waking up is give me his most beautiful smile. "Good morning Jem" A nickname, wow! I am struck by cupid's arrow. Well, it seems like I am becoming more and more like those in movies that I recently watched but who cares. I am in love with this cutie pie over here. "It's time to wake up" I told him again. He nodded and sat up on the bed. But it seems like he doesn't want to wake up anytime soon. Ryan is not that kind of person, so I asked him "Did I tire you out yesterday?" He blushed a little but nodded his head in negative. But then a thought struck me and my insecurities popped up. I know Ryan had fully given his consent to me, otherwise I would not have mated him, but still I wanted to know from his mouth "Ryan, yesterday, how did you feel yesterday, are you happy?" He must have sensed my fear because he scooted close to me and held my face. "I loved every second of it. I am completely happy." He said looking right into my eyes. Well, that washed away all my fears and insecurities. "I would not have consented if I didn't want it. I really wanted it with you and I came to know how much you love me and how much I love you. I love you so so much." He said, hugging me. "Thank you" I whispered. "I should be the one thanking you Jem because never once in my life have I felt what it feels to be loved by your mate until I came to you. You are the best thing that happened in my life and I am never letting you go." I felt like I won a lottery because that's the biggest compliment my Choco pie has given me. I must be smiling like a fool because I saw Ryan chuckling slightly. He gave me a kiss on my cheek and went to take a shower. Breakfast time was over when both of us went down to eat. I don't know whether it is because of yesterday's activities, both of us were hungrier than usual. Thankfully there was food in the kitchen and Ryan can eat in peace, without fearing Amelia's teasings. Breakfast went by with little chitchats and because it is the first time we were having breakfast alone, it was a very pleasurable affair. After breakfast, we went to our office to do our daily tasks. "You know what, Jace would be waiting for us, in the office, with a large bouquet." I told Ryan. "Did you tell him?" Ryan asked, alarmed. I smiled at him mischievously. "Tell me you didn't!!" Ryan looked mortified. I laughed loudly. "Jeremy..." "I did not" I told him "I was just teasing you." I comforted him. Ryan is really shy about these things. With this little banter, we entered our office. Surprisingly Jace was there waiting for us, but not with a bouquet. "What is it Jace?" spotting his serious face.
