Vanessa "Nessa" Mitchell never intended for her entire life to go up in flames. Literally. One night. One chance of forgiveness. One chance to set her name straight. At least that is until Kaiden Arthur Greenspan comes in. He's arrogant, cocky, and...
"Someone's stalking me," I admit and I feel every muscle in Archer's body tighten.
"You're staying with me" Archer demands.
"But..."
"V, do not argue with me. Officer, my father is lead on her case tell him that she's with me." He says and the officer leaves us alone.
"Can we watch a movie?" I ask and he looks at me with twinkly eyes.
"Sure, come on" he smiles and takes my hand, leading us inside.
"Can I borrow some clothes?" I ask sheepishly. His laugh fills the room and he takes me to his bedroom.
"Take your pick," he ushers to the closet and I run in, slamming the door in his face. "V! What are you doing?" He questions laughing. I giggle and rummage through his clothes.
I pick a muscle shirt that is black and blue. Putting it on it lays on my knees, so I leave my bra and underwear on. Then I take my hair out of my pony and open the door. He's currently laying on his bed with an arm over his face. He hasn't noticed I'm here yet so I sneak over and jump on him. Almost reflexively his hands grab my bare waist and my knees go around his hips.

"Ah!" I screech and his thumbs rub my hips.
"V," he warns and flips us over. His shirt rises up on my stomach and his hands run over it leaving shivers in my bones.
"Archer, I don't want to hurt you," I whisper and his hand stills.
"Let us have this moment. No one is going to hurt us. Let us be for just a couple of minutes." He pleads and I nod. Slowly his lips touch every mark on my skin. When he reaches my hands he removes my gloves and kisses my scars whispering, "beautiful".
"Archer," I whimper, "kiss me." He looks over my face and places his softly on mine. Fireworks.
"Vanessa," he whispers, "I love you." I stop everything and remember what he said.
"What I'm about to say never happened, okay?" He nods. I take a deep breath and whisper back, "I love you too." He leans down and continues to kiss me whilst saying the same thing over and over.
