       My fingers run over her soft smooth skin, hitting every little bump and curve she has. I trace her body like it's a road map. Every slight little breath she took showed just how safe she felt. The best part was watching the sunrise, letting in the small rays of light that danced over her beautiful body as she lay sleeping.

        Nothing could ruin this moment, then the sound of knocking echoed through my apartment. Damn it, I grabbed boxers from my drawer and marched to the door. "Peter come on we have to go" shouts Ned. "Shh! Dude there are people sleeping" I say while looking away. I hear Sage stir in her sleep and I mentally panic. She has absolutely no clothes on and is barley covered by the blanket.

       "Ned wait" I whisper shout. It was too late, he was already staring at her. "Dude what the hell" is all I manage to say. I stay silent as I step in front of him, protecting her from his gaze. "Stop starring at her like that, it's really creepy." "Why do you care Peter?! She isn't even your girlfriend! What the hell were you thinking?!"

     He is right, what was I thinking? Oh right I wasn't. I was thinking with the wrong head. Would I take any of it back though? No, I wouldn't take a single moment back. It was an amazing night. We didn't just have sex, we were slow, gentle, caring and tender. It wasn't just sex it was making love. She cares about me, hell she admitted it.

     Unfortunately Ned made me think of a valid point. Honestly I don't know what hurts more, loving her or knowing this can never be or will be again. I was thinking of myself, she is going to hate me forever when I tell her. This is what I get for falling in love.

      "Umm what's going on?" Her voice rang through the silent apartment. My eyes grow wide after realizing she has pulled the sheets and blanket up fully, covering herself from Ned's gaze. "Dude" I shout as I elbow him. He doesn't say anything, he just looks at his feet. "Sorry Sage we will leave so you can change."

     After a few minutes she pops out fully clothed. Her clothes are no longer wet and muddy. She looks refreshed, almost like she is glowing. Wish I could say the same about myself. I just grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt. "Would you like to walk with us to school" I ask scratching the back of my head. 

       I don't get it, I'm still so nervous around her. How am I still nervous? We just had sex! God I don't get any of this. "Yeah, sounds fun" she says with a smile. "Great, lets go" says Ned in a agitated tone.

     Sage remains relatively silent the whole time we walk. I think she senses that Ned is annoyed.  Oh well he will just have to get over it. My attention turns towards the ground considering no one is speaking. Suddenly I feel a hard tug on my arm.

     When I look over I see Sage trying to regain her balance. "Sorry Peter, someone ran into me. She wasn't even paying attention to where she was going or even bother to apologize after." "You are perfectly fine" I say as I help her. Eventually we make it to her class and say our goodbyes.

      Before Ned and I could leave Sage grabs my hand and pulls me close, sealing the gap with a deep, passionate kiss. Making me lose myself all over again.

~Time skip~

     Music blast through my headphones whilst I spin my keys in my hands as I walk towards my apartment building. There is this insanely nice car parked in front, I would recognize that car anywhere. "Mr.Parker how are you today" ask Mr.Stark. "I'm good." "Good, we have business to attend too." "In my apartment?" He just slides his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose and looks at me. "Okay" I say more like a sigh.

     There is only shared silence between us upon entering my apartment. My spidey-senses are telling me something is wrong. I unlock the door, turns out they were right. God just once can they ever be wrong. My place is covered in shattered glass, pillow feathers, trash along with couch and bed foam. My eyes dart around landing on an open window.

      "Wow Peter you are a slob. Ever hear of this thing called a broom, it works wonders" says Tony. "This wasn't my doing Mr.Stark" I say looking at him. "No shit Sherlock." Something inside me drops. My home has been destroyed. I look at my feet trying to remain calm and not break down. "Send me a cleaning drone. Cheer up kid" he says placing a hand on my shoulder.

     After a few minutes the cleaning drone shows up and starts doing its job. "Let's talk in here, it's the least reached place in here" says Mr.Stark as we walk into my room. I wait patiently while he looks for what he wants to say. "We picked up on this wolf pack."

     "Yeah what about them?" "Wait you have known about them?!" I just shrug my shoulders and he continues.

      "You need to be careful kid, the ring leader is an old employee of Vultures's. They are these werewolf things, that's how they turn into wolves. Well except for one." He pulls out a vanilla folder and hands it to me. "Her name is Sage Adams, she is a hybrid of sort. Her parents were two different kinds of wolf, she can look like a normal wolf or one from that teen werewolf show."

    My heart shatters, Sage is one of them? "I-I know her" I say trying my damnedest not to sound hurt. "She is a music major at my school." "Yeah well that isn't the only thing she is good at. She has been ranked as one of the most accurate shooters in our data base. Graduated too of her mixed martial arts class as well." A lump grows in my throat. I slept basically with a trained assassin. Oh god...I fell in love with a criminal.

      Suddenly the cleaning drone flies over to us. "Excuse me Mr. Stark I have found a note for Mr. Parker." I take it and read it, I must look concerned because Mr. Stark speaks again. "Peter?" "I got to go" I yell as I run to grab my suit. "What?! Why?!" Because I gotta save her."
