True Love: God Approved

Chapter 3

*Emma's POV*

I woke up to my phone ringing loudly on the bedside table, groaning as I rolled over to check it. Killian groaned when I moved, wrapping his arms around my waist to pull me back against his chest and bury his face in the side of my neck. I smiled a bit, putting one hand on his arms with my phone in the other.

"Hello?" I answered a bit groggily, forgetting to check who it was. "What is it?"

"Emma?" My mom answered, sounding a bit concerned. "Are you alright? You sound strange."

"I just woke up," I said as I stifled a yawn, threading the fingers of my free hand through Killian's. "Why? Is something wrong?"

"Actually," she started and my eyes finally opened in panic. "It appears that Hyde found a way to follow us here and we were all going to get together and do some research on his story before things get out of hand. Did you two want to meet us at the library?"

"Oh, uhm, sure," I agreed though all I wanted was to stay right here with my pirate all day. "I've just got to shower and everything so it might be a bit."

"That's fine," she assured me with that annoying knowing tone in her voice. "Take your time, we'll be here."

"Alright," I said as I rolled my eyes and hung up before turning over to cuddle back into Killian's chest with a sigh. "My mom's stupid sometimes."

"Oh really?" He chuckled lightly, brushing my hair away from my face and lifting my chin to rest his forehead on mine. "And what offense has she committed this morning?"

"She interrupted my first quiet morning with you," I said quietly and his eyes softened. "I wanted at least one normal morning with my boyfriend after all we've been through lately."

"Well, no one is actively trying to kill us, so I'd say that's a step in the right direction," he tried to make me smile but I could feel the tears coming to my eyes and concern soon filled his eyes. "Oh, love, no. Please don't do that. If you cry I'm going to cry, and I'm a terribly awkward crier."

I let out a short laugh, moving my hand to the back of his neck to pull him down to me. Our lips met and I just didn't care anymore, pressing myself into him as his arms tightened around me. His tongue ran along my bottom lip, seeking access I quickly granted as our kiss grew more heated. Soon he tried something he never had, his hand slowly moving down my back to grip my butt firmly. I made a small sound of surprise but quickly melted with his touch, hitching my thigh up on his waist to pull myself impossibly closer.

He moaned softly, taking that as permission to touch me more intimately than he ever had. His hand slid down my thigh and back up under my nightgown but he stopped there, being the gentleman he always was with me and trying not to push me too far. I honestly wanted him more than oxygen at that point, and for once the only thing in his way was his boxers so I could tell exactly how much he wanted me too. I rolled over on top of him and he sat up, clearly trying desperately to control himself as we all but devoured each other right then and there.

"I love you," I breathed between deep kisses, my hands sliding up into his hair. "I love you so much."

"I love you so bloody much," he managed to get out before claiming my lips again. He kissed along my jaw and my breath hitched when his lips touched my neck, making him freeze with concern. "Too much? Did I go too far?"

"Not at all," I assured him with another lingering kiss. "We've just never gone this far so it took me off guard but it's okay. I like it, it feels good."

He smiled a bit, catching my lips again in a kiss that took my breath away. This time when his lips touched my neck I didn't flinch, biting my lip to keep back a moan when he started sucking on my skin. I was absolutely lost in him and I loved it, about to give in and let him have all of me after all this time when someone hit the protection spell I'd put around the house a few days ago.
