I've been so slow at updating this one and I'm really sorry. I have 5 books going at once, but that's my fault lol. Anyways, here it is, finally :)

Corrine

I found myself in a state of pure bliss when I awoke the next morning. It's hard to imagine that I can be so happy in a time like this. Our lives are in danger, we have no idea what's going to happen. Yet, I can't find it in me to be sad.

It's difficult to move, my whole body aches in a glorious way. There's also a very heavy arm draped over my stomach and the most beautiful face I've ever seen is buried in my neck. Eric's soft breathing tickles my neck and sends shivers down my spine.

He must feel me stir, because he begins to move around, lifting his head slowly and opening his eyes even slower.

"Morning." He says roughly. His hair in complete disarray. He presses his lips to my jaw, causing me to shiver again.

"Morning." I giggle.

"I want to enjoy this...laying here with you like this. Who knows when it will happen again." He says quietly.

"I know." I press my hand to his warm cheek, his stubble scratching the sensitive skin.

"I love you." He rolls onto his back, pulling me over top of him, my elbows holding me up as I look down at his face.

"I love you more." I kiss the tip of his nose.

"Don't be ridiculous." He squeezes my hips and smiles.

I press my lips to his, not being able to stand it any longer. Eric laces his fingers into my hair and pulls me down to kiss him deeper. Our bare bodies melt into each other again .

"Eric..we should go find the others. I'm sure the Candor want us out of here soon." I breathe into his open mouth.

"I refuse." He pecks my lips once more before I press my hands to his chest and stand up from the small bed.

"Get a move on." I tell him teasingly.

"Is that an order, initiate?" He lifts and eyebrow at me.

"It is, sir." I smirk at him, picking up my shirt and holding it in front of my naked body.

He stands from the bed, and my eyes can't help themselves as the scan over his body. He walks over and takes my waist, leaning down to press wet kisses to my neck.

"I'll have to keep reminding you who the leader is around here.." He growls into my ear. It makes my knees buckle at the authority in his voice.

"My apologies, sir." I bite my lip as I look in his eyes. He pushes some hair out of my eyes and quickly captures my lips with his. We stay like for awhile, just brushing lips over and over.

"I love you, Corrine." He says.

"I love you." I tell him with all the confidence in the world. Because if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's him.

We dress quickly, Eric was going to speak with a few Candor before we left. So I headed towards the hall where everyone was eating breakfast. I scanned the area for anyone that I knew, but didn't see anyone yet, so I sat at an empty table alone, picking at some food.

"Corrine?" I hear behind me, recognizing the voice quickly. I don't turn around.

"Not in the mood for talking, Finn." I say lowly.

"Please, you have to let me explain."

"Explain what? That you think this is my fault? You made that quite clear." I push away from the table and walk towards the exit.
