"I'm your what?!?" I asked.
This was a little weird...
Ok, it was more than a little weird; it was abso-freaking-loutely CRAZY!
"You're my mate." Jack said.
"That is crazy!" I was practically yelling as I jumped up off the bed.
He was messing with me; he could not be serious!
"Look, I know that this is a lot to take in princess - I wasn't going to tell you until later," He started as he got off the bed and walked towards me slowly, like I was frightened animal, and any sudden movement would scare me away. "If you want, I can give you some space. You can have a couple of days break and --"
"No!" I interrupted.
While this was scaring the hell out of me, I didn't want to be away from him.
What the hell was wrong with me? This guy was a freaking animal, and yet I couldn't stand the thought of being away from him.
"Don't do that, please. “I whispered. "Don't take a break, don't do anything."
I took a deep breath and walked towards Jack.
"Just give me some answers."
Jack reached out and gently took my hand and let me to the bed.
"What exactly does it mean if I'm your mate?" I asked.
"It means that you are completely, 120%, the reason for my existence. My life revolves around you. If you tell me to jump, I won't just do it, I would ask 'how high?’ I can't deny you anything. You are my everything. I know that this is fast, but as soon as I saw you, I knew that you were my mate, and I loved you. If you were with me, you would never have to worry about me cheating on you or leaving you." he explained, looking right into my eyes.
"I'm scared." I confessed, breaking his gaze and looking down.
"Shh, I know." He whispered as he put his arms around me and pulled me closer.
I leant into him, wrapped my arms around him and breathed in his scent, enjoying the shivers I got from his touch.
He smelt like chocolate, raspberries, the forest and, as weird as this was, home.
"I promise, you won't every have to be scared of me, I will never intentionally hurt you." Jack said as he rested his head against mine.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because it would physically hurt me too. I could never hurt you; it goes against everything inside me."
"If I agree, what does that mean? What will happen? What will I have to do?"
"Baby, for now, you won't have to do anything but be here." Jack kissed the top of my head.
"That's now, but what about later? What about in a year, or 6 months? I asked.
I knew that there was absolutely no way that the only thing I had to do to be Jack's mate was be there.
"Eventually, yeah, we will have to mate." Jack said. "But not until you're ready. I will wait for you to be ready."
"Ok." I said, as I looked up and kissed his cheek.
"So we can just take it slow, get to know each other, before we go any further if you want." Jack suggested. "And we can start with that dinner and movie I owe you if you want."
