Lucas's POV

"Riley," I whisper on our bed.

"Yeah, baby?"

"I love you."

Her eyes sparkle at the words, leaving me breathless for a short time. I grab her by the waist and pull her closer.

"I love you too, Lucas."

I smile at her words, making me feel butterflies as I replay them in my head.

"I love you. A lot. I have no idea what I'd do without you. When I lost you..." I cringe at the thought. I have never felt more pain in my life. When Riley was gone, I couldn't eat or sleep. She is my everything. How could I lose her?

"It's okay, Lucas," She says as she puts my face in her hands as she caresses my cheeks. "I missed you a lot, too."

I pull her even closer, and our lips collide, all my feelings pouring out of me like an open faucet into that one kiss. She kisses back as well, pouring her heart out into the kiss. Flames erupted, and the kiss became hungry and passionate. I was kissing her like I was going to lose her again.

When we broke off the kiss, we were both panting, and I could see flames dancing in her eyes.

"I have no idea what you do to me," She whispers.

"I don't know either, but I like the feeling."

"Yeah me too."

At the end of her sentence, we both fall asleep, letting the darkness take us into sweet oblivion.

Riley's POV

I wake up to the smell of Lucas's cologne and his arms wrapped around my waist. The perfect way of waking up in the morning.

I shift and turn to face him, his eyes closed, and his breath was slowly escaping his lips. I gingerly touch his face, and his eyes flutter open at my touch.

"Morning beautiful," Lucas says as he grabs my hand under the sheets and brings it up to kiss it.

"Morning," I groan out as I stretch out on the bed.

"Do we have to leave?" Lucas groans, pulling me closer and making me smile like an idiot.

"Yes," I pout as I kiss him on his temple and try to get up. But Lucas being the lazy dummy he tightens his grip on me.

"10 more minutes."

"No."

"5 more minutes."

"Nope."

"You're staying here for eternity then," He smirks and pins me down to the bed.

"Lucas St-" My voice was cut off, his lips crashing onto mine, hungrily looking for a way in.

His hand went down my back and stopped right above my pajama pants line, and he pulled me closer, making what I thought was going to be a short kiss, a passionate one. A kiss that made me forget whatever happened to him and I and enjoy the moments I was spending with him. His essence was pouring into me like water pours out of an open faucet.

When we break the kiss, his eyes sparkle and flames dance in his eyes.

"Wow," I breathe out.

"I missed that," He smiles as he kisses my temple. "Okay let's get up."

"Haha no," I pull him back onto the bed and wrap my legs around him.

"As if you can hold me do-"

I cut off his voice with my lips and looked into his eyes, pleading for him not to break this moment and let me go.

"Fine," he sighs.

"Don't act like you're not enjoying this," I mumble in a hurt tone.

"I'm sorry, baby."

"Yeah sure."

"Riley, I love you."

The butterflies have returned and are in a crazed frenzy that makes me feel the sensation in my jaw.

"I love you too, Lucas."

Time stood still and everything was perfect.

Sorry for this short chapter but WE HIT 10k OMG!!!! I'm so incredibly thankful for this. In total honesty, I never thought I would get 10k reads. You guys amaze me. By the way, I have updated my other book, Breaking Ava, and I would really appreciate it if I got some feedback on that book as well. Thank you once again. I also will be working on other works. I'm possibly thinking about a werewolf story. Anyways, Ideas are ideas.
