(Arabella's P.O.V)
I felt a pair of arms wrap around me tighter as I slowly opened my eyes to meet blue ones. "Hello there sleepy head" he said with a smile across his face. I groaned laying my head on his chest snuggling up against him. "I just wanna lay here forever." I said before sitting up.

"I know. And soon enough that will happen. But you sort of smell like wet dog. So the first thing you need is a shower" he said looking at me with intent eyes. He got up helping me out of bed pulling me towards the bathroom. I watched as he slowly stripped causing me to watch his every movement.

I mentally groaned before stripping myself walking inside the shower turning on the water. He got in behind me shutting the glass door. The warm water padded against my back as I looked down at the floor. Flashbacks of Henry surrounded my head. The only one I couldn't get out my head is when he brought me to my weakest point.

When I thought I would never make it out alive. When I knew there was nothing I could do to protect my baby. I don't know why Henry would want to hurt me. Or the baby. Just for hatred towards Asher? For my love? None of it makes sense. I know there has to be more to the story. I felt a pair of arms spin me around and press my back against them.

"Don't let your thoughts come in the way of your feelings bella. Come back to me" I hear him say as his hands travel down my hips. "I know you miss this feeling" he told me as my goosebumps raised high. I opened my mouth to say something but I couldn't. He was right.

I felt his hands trail to the sides of my hips as he rubbed soap up my body. I turned facing him as his hands continued to run over my body. He concentrated on my body furrowing his eyebrows as I looked deep into his blue eyes. "Hearing your thoughts make me feel relentlessly fearful for you. I hate knowing that I've put you through very dangerous situations so many times Bella. " he said pulling me closer to him looking down into my eyes.

"Asher it isn't your fault so quit blaming yourself. And I would go through hell and back for you. I have made it through and you have brought me back many times. And I am thankful for that" I told him wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

"But I was just thinking. What if one day I'm too late and you get really hurt. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. And I just can't be too careful with that" he furrowed his eyebrows running his fingers through his wet hair. "Understand that no matter what there will always be danger. And we will be ready for it. I will be ready for it." I reassured him.

He looked at me once again this time with a passionate look. He pulled me closer intertwing our hands together. I leaned in kissing him deeply letting his soft minty lips embrace mine as I felt one hand release my fingers and grip my leg lifting me up and wrapping my legs around his waist.

My heart was beating rapidly as I felt him against me like this. I was nervous as well. Being naked and being on top if him like this. But I wanted him very badly. Especially now. "Do you want me Bella?" He growled in my ear sending chills down my spine. "Y-Yes" I whimpered feeling weak as his power over me expanded all over my body.

"I won't let him hurt you anymore Bella. I love you. You're mine only mine."he ripped the ring Henry gave me off my finger throwing it down. "I want to spend the test of eternity with you. Because you make me different. You make me love. And forget. And cherish what is in front of me."he slid what felt like a ring on my catching me off guard.

"Will you marry me?" He asked as I felt my heart beat almost all the way out of my chest. "Yes. Of course!" I exclaimed as his arm gripped me tighter. "I want to make love to you Arabella"
