*Rachel's POV*

I walked up the stairs and down the hallway. I finally figured out where my room was and all I needed to do to find his room was follow his scent.

I stopped in front of his door. The smell of firewood, old spice, and fruit was really strong, meaning he was in there. I still couldn't quite figure out what kind of fruit he smelled like.

I suddenly became nervous. Why? I have no freakin idea!!! I'm just scared.

I slowly knocked on the door, softly.

No response.

I knocked a second time, but he still didn't reply. Sighing, I slowly opened the door and peaked inside the room. The room was empty. I stepped fully into the room.

I began scanning the room and my eyes landed on the window. It was opened. I walked over to it and peeked out the window.

A smile formed on my face when I saw Zach sitting on the roof, staring up at the moon. I slowly climbed out of the window and crawled next to him. He seemed a little startled at first but then shrugged it off.

We sat in an awkward silence. I looked down at Zach's hand. I brought my hand over to his and laid mine on top of his. He slowly turned his and laced his fingers around mine. He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around me.

"I'm sorry, Rachell." He whispered in my ear. The way my name rolls off his tongue sends butterflies in my stomach. I turned my head to face him.

"Why? It's not your fault you haven't marked me yet." I replied.

He let out a sigh. "I know, but my parents are trying to get us to do something you don't want to do."

"What makes you think I don't want to do it?" I rose my eyebrow.

He just sent me a shrug. I grabbed his face and made him look at me. "I love you." I whispered. I brought his face closer to mine.

Our faces were only centimeters away. "I love you, too." He replied.

He closed the gap between us with his lips. His lips were so much softer this time. His lips sent sparks that traveled throughout my body. His hand lifted up to my face and cupped it. His hand made my cheek burn from his touch.

His lips started moving a little faster, but I was able to meet his pace. The kiss was filled with emotion, passion, need, and lust.

His hand roamed my hair. He grabbed a fist of it.

A cold breeze blew onto my bare arm. I shivered from the cold. I pulled away from Zach, in need of air. We both started breathing hard. "Can....Can we g-go inside? It's f-freezing." I asked.

He nodded and grabbed my hand and lead me inside. When we got back inside his room, he walked over to his closet.

When he came out of the closet, he tossed me something. I barely managed to catch it, but when I did, I looked at it. It was a white t-shirt. I looked back up at him with a questioning look.

"You said you were cold." he said pointing to the tank top I was wearing.

I mouthed "o" and started pulling off my tank top. Luckily, I am wearing a bra. I was about to put on the t-shirt but Zach just appeared in front of me.
