Maeve Gray was done.
Finished with her life.
It was a sob story to end with her dive off a school roof, but when the man of her dreams - literally- comes to her aid, she can't help but break down her walls and fall head over heels.
But he has sec...

MAEVE
"No, please don't change a thing", he pleads, as his arms encase my torso, my own trapped against his chest.
"I'm so sorry about what I said; I didn't mean a word of it. I was just being stupid trying to keep you away from me", he explains, almost begging me. I sniffle and pull back to see his face. It's level with my own because he's kneeling on the ground in front of the couch whereas I have the height advantage sitting on it.
"I... I don't understand", I say, wiping my watery eyes.
"I was trying to stay away from you. I couldn't control myself around you. My beast was having such a hard time..."
"What do you mean?" I ask, still bewildered. He flushes red a bit and takes a moment to answer.
"The mate bond between us is getting stronger. First it's hallucinating; seeing you there when you're not there. Next, I'll feel a burn throughout my entire body only satiated by ... well by sex... with you. And lastly, my beast would take over and complete the bond, willing or not. And I can't allow that to happen so I've been trying to stay away from you but I think I finally got him under control", he explains and I can tell his hesitation at my shocked expression.
"All this has been happening for the past few weeks and you didn't think that maybe telling me could help? Instead of leaving me in the dark to guess the worst?" I ask angrily. His hand rubs the back of his neck, a nervous tick I've seen him do often.
"I thought I could hand it on my own. And not all of it has been happening... just the hallucinations, thankfully. But I know I owe you an explanation for my absence... and again, please don't change who you are. Not for me, or anyone else because you are absolutely perfect the way you are", he says, grasping my face between his hands and moving a loose curl behind my ear. His eyes hold so much conviction and sincerity, leaving me speechless so all I could do was nod.
"I'm so, so sorry babygirl for what I said", he repeats. I know that whatever craziness went through his mind and all the hell he put me through the last two weeks- especially last night- was all with good intentions. I could hang on to it, just like with his "flavor of the month" dropping by; or I could forgive him, because I really did know he was sorry, and move on. I take a deep breath before nodding.
"I forgive you", and quickly peck his lips, enjoying the sparks for only a moment. I pull back when I recalled something he said.
