"He kissed my lips and in that moment he was all I craved."

Amelia's POV

I woke up to a burning. It felt as if I was on fire from the inside. I took a deep breath and sat up so fast I fell from my couch I'd crashed on. I groaned and stood. Damn heat.

It'd been almost three months since I'd last seen my mate and honestly I didn't miss him as much as I thought I would. Maybe it was because I had Noah for company, I don't know. The two of us had become really close in the last few months...

I thought Kaden would've somehow found me by now or something, but no.

I got a place. It was in an apartment building and it was a nice little home.

The night before was an absolute blur. Apparently I'd gotten drunk, but whatever it was had pretty much worn off. All I remember is going to a club and running into Noah. I'd brought him home and I guess I'd passed out on the couch.

"You okay?" A grunt made me look up to see Noah walking into the room shirtless. He smiled softly and walked over pulling me to my feet much to my embarrassed gratitude.

He ran a hand through his messy short hair. He'd finally got it cut and it looked good on him.

"Fine," I groaned. I brushed myself off and sighed, "I'm just burning up inside for some reason." I lied and attempted to fan myself. Noah gave me a look of concern and pressed his hand to my head. He pulled back quickly with a hiss and frowned.

"Goddamn you feel like a fucking oven burner. What the hell?" He said blinking in confusion and pain. I looked down and saw his palm was inflamed. I gasped and gave him a puzzled look.

"Can you please get me some ice?" I asked and he nodded and hurried into the kitchen. He returned moments later with a little bag full of ice and handed it to me. It began to melt in my hands and when I pressed it to my head it hissed and some of the ice cracked, but I felt relief. I sighed and ran the cool bag down my neck and rubbed it along my neck and shoulders. After a bit the heat calmed and I let out a breath and handed the now bag of water to Noah.

He took it from me and left to trash it. He was back in a flash and handed me some water. I drank it up and looked at him gratefully. He gave me a thermometer and I tucked it under my tongue.

In a few moments it began beeping and I took it out and gasped. Nothing was wrong. My temp was normal. I looked at it confused and Noah did the same. He cautiously put his hand back to my head and frowned.

"You're cool... What the hell was that?" He grumbled and I shrugged.

"It was my heat, but... I have no idea that's never happened before..." I sighed and he let out a deep breath and pulled me against him and held me against his muscled frame. My body began to ache to mate.

"As long as you're okay babe." He said softly and I smiled as he combed his fingers through my slightly damp from sweat hair.

"Happy birthday baby." He said placing a kiss to my forehead. I smiled. Hell I almost forgot. Suddenly my eyes widened and I stood up. Noah grunted as he stood as well.

"My mate's gonna kill you. You slept at my house, you-" I began and Noah laid his hands on my shoulders to steady me.

"Babe you're overreacting. Calm down. Your mate doesn't know, remember?" He said softly looking worried and it suddenly came flooding back and I sighed, "Oh yeah... Sorry."
