"I gave into the temptation and ultimately opened the door to my heart."

Amelia's POV

I stretched and a soft moan escaped me as the sheets slid against my skin.

Kaden laid beside me his arm was wrapped around my waist. My body was pressed against his and I growled a bit at the soreness between my legs. I tugged myself away from the man beside me.

I glanced over at him and gasped at his appearance. He was only partially covered by the sheets; his upper body exposed to me. His hair was ruffled and hickeys covered his neck and chest. Scratch marks lined his body, starting at his shoulders and going down to this abs. I could only imagine his back was worse. Oh Goddess... wonder when that'll heal? Wait shouldn't it have already healed?

No, marks from your mate take longer to go away. Rain chirped in sounding cheerful.

My eyes stared at the black tattoo on his chest and I looked away.

I blushed as I thought about what had happened....

"You love me?" Kaden finally broke the silence and I continued to look at the window.

Suddenly he pulled me down and pinned me underneath him. His eyes bore into mine and I was lost in the golden depths.

"Kaden--" I began and he stared at me as if he couldn't believe I was there.

"Do you love me?" He asked and I looked away. He growled and leaned down and kissed my neck softly. I groaned as he licked my skin.

"Yes." I confessed and his hands trailed my body.

"Yes what? I want to hear you say it Amelia." He grunted and I gasped as he kissed my mark.

My body arched against his and my wolf howled in need.

He grasped my hips and tugged me against him.

"I need to hear you say it... please." Kaden groaned and his lips dragged along the skin of my neck.

I gasped as he pulled his lips away and looked at me with lust filled eyes. He had a serious look to his face.

"Say it Amelia; or I'm going to show your sweet virgin body what happens when you tempt me." He growled and a dangerous gleam flickered in his eyes.

Don't say anything! My wolf howled in mischievousness.

Excitement and a hint of fear gripped me. I looked at him challengingly and a deep growl rumbled from him.

"Fine." He growled and pinned my arms next to my head. I gasped as he pressed against me and growled. He let me go and sat up.

He tugged off his shirt and I marveled at his body. My hands ran along his muscles and Kaden growled in approval. I paused as I noticed the black marking over right side of his chest and I stared at it. My fingers ran over the name with a curled line underneath it and tears pricked my eyes.

"Kaden... when did you get this?" I asked softly and he sighed.

"The day after your birthday..." he said and I bit my lip softly.

I looked at the tattoo and kissed my name that was now inked into his skin. Kaden groaned and pushed me down against the mattress. I stared at him as he hovered over me and kissed me savagely before pulling back with a devilish grin.

"Time for your punishment." He grunted into my ear and nipped my earlobe.

I smirked as he leaned closer....

****

I sighed and stared up at the ceiling.

Last night had been glorious but rough.... It was one way to get out frustrations though; everything I'd expected and more.

Yet it shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have given myself up to him like that. I loved him, but I couldn't forgive him so easily. Maybe I was being stubborn, I'm not sure, but I didn't care. Right?

Goddess, maybe I should just say "screw it" and forget it all. I loved him so much, I could look past it all.

But even if I did look past it.... I'm not sure something felt weird.

I laid there for a bit before sighing and running a hand down my face.

You should be happy, ya know? I scolded myself as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

I rolled out of bed and picked my clothes up from the floor. I picked his up as well and folded them before placing them in a chair by the window.

I glanced over at his sleeping figure before sighing and going into the bathroom.

I started a warm shower and closed my eyes as I bathed.

I love you Amelia. His voice echoed in my head and I groaned softly. The water ran over my face and I sputtered softly as it got in my mouth and somehow my nose.

My wolf happily pranced around my mind. Her sex-crazed self finally feeling satisfied.

We must do that again sometime. She raved and I chuckled softly.

Rain you almost sound like Amy. I teased.

Don't compare me to that whore. I'm nothing like Felen. That little pup can go to Hell. My wolf spat about Amy's. I smiled softly.

You're right with that, Rain. I agreed.

When am I wrong Amelia? She retorted and I shrugged thinking about many times she'd been false in her ways and went back to bathing.

After I was done bathing I dried myself and wrapped the towel firmly around my body.

I walked out and opened my closet softly.

I slipped on some clothes and exited the room. My feet led me to my kitchen and I opened the fridge and grabbed the gallon of milk.

I took out a glass and filled it up before guzzling the drink down. I looked at the cup and frowned before washing it and putting it away.

I closed the cabinet and sighed before sitting at the table. I wasn't sure why I was just sitting there, yet I was.

My fingers drummed against the table wood and I bit my bottom lip softly. I ran a hand through my hair and let out a long sigh.

I made it back to my room after a bit and looked at the bed. After a while Kaden groaned and moved around.

I watched as he woke up and stretched. His golden eyes opened and found me and he smiled gently. I had to look away from him. I softly bit my lip and sighed.

My hands ran through my hair and I crossed my arms over my chest. I pointed a finger at his clothes still sitting in the chair.

"It's morning." I said and his smile faded. He looked to the window and stared out at the sunlight. He glanced back to me.

"So...?" He said and a challenge glittered in his eyes. I frowned and scoffed.

"You have to leave."
