~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I woke up in the morning, I had a huge smile on my face. I moved my hand up Drew's naked torso and my smile just grew. "Morning, beautiful." He chuckled.

I opened my eyes and squinted in the sun light looking up at a smiling Drew. "Good morning. Did you sleep good?" I asked moving up to kiss his cheek.

He looked at me wide eyed. Curious, I asked, "What?"

He shook his head before saying, "You've never took the initiative before. I was just surprised."

Blushing, I wrapped my arms around his warm body and laid my head on his chest. "I wish we could stay here all day. I love this." I said closing my eyes.

"Is that what you want?" He asked.

"I don't want to be that lazy." I said mentally rolling my eyes smiling.

"You wouldn't be. I don't mind if that's what you want to do." He rolled to his side taking me with him.

Drew's POV

I looked at the beautiful girl laying beside me, and wondered how I got so lucky to have her as a mate. She was so amazing, and beautiful, even on the inside. My life had been hell before her, so horrible and incomplete.

When I first laid eyes on her that night and her father attempted to kill her, it felt like time had stopped. All I could do was look at her. Her face was twisted in rage, sorrow, and terror. The bastard had broken her spirit, she was a shell of who she should be; of who she could be.

I took her in, hoping one day she would love me as I love her. She was very depressed when I first brought her here. She had night terrors that made her wake up screaming, she was always distant and afraid. No one could ever touch her besides Justin and myself. I wondered what had happened to her that made her that way, but I never wanted to ask knowing it would upset her more, but I knew she grew up being abused.

I did everything I could for her, gave her everything she wanted. After a while, she got better. And everyday, my love for her grew more and more. It had been a year, and I was still unsure if she loved me. I knew she was human, and it was rare to have a human as a mate, but I still cherished her.

"Are you sure you don't mind staying here with me?" I heard her angelic voice say. It was like honey to my ears when she spoke and I found it harder to keep myself under control. Last night could have been bad if I didn't stop. She would be my mate now, my mark would be on her. It wasn't a bad thing, but I didn't want her to know. At least not yet.

I looked at her flawless face and said, "I don't mind, beautiful." If it were up to me, I would stay in bed all day with her.

When I got the call that she had been in a car accident, it felt like my world had shattered. I thought she was going to die. And when the doctor told me she was unable to bear children, it felt like my heart had been hit with a ten ton brick. It hurt so bad I thought I might die on the spot. Jewel seemed unfazed by the outcome of the accident because she was unaware that she had a mate who wanted to have children with her. After the slip up last night, I snapped. I wanted her right then and mark her as mine. I knew it wouldn't be a good idea, that's why I stopped it before it got worse.

I felt her move closer to me, if it was even possible. It was as if she was trying to melt into me, and I loved every minute of it. Her skin was perfection, soft and delicate like a flower.
