He pecked my lips once before slowly parting his lips, I tried to match his rhythm with mine but it only turned out sloppy. He chuckled before he pulled his head back. In which I responded with a disappointed moan. "You can't avoid this topic love. Tell me. Why did you have this list?'" He held it out to me in the palm of his hand. "No tears please beautiful, I'm not planning on deserting you any time soon if that's what you're thinking."

He chuckled as he wiped away the stray tears that slipped past my eyelids with his thumb. The more he wiped them away the more the tears came flowing. I couldn't help it, I was being such a woman right now.

"That was my escape plan." I mumbled to him hoarsely as I sniffed, while trying to pathetically wipe away my tears with my left arm. "I can see that angel, you planned it very well...too bad you got caught up in the act." He chuckled before scooping me up into his arms and kissing me on my forehead. "How did you find them?" I whispered suddenly tired, as the tears drained my energy.

"We have security cameras installed in the house love. Some of the pack members who watch behind those cameras noticed what you were up to and notified me. I only waited for the right time for me to tell you about it. Seeing as you weren't planning to do that anytime soon, i'm proud to say that my mate is very clever and rather sneaky." He smirked as he made his way to tickle my underarms.

"I warned my pack members to be wary of you, your nick name around here is the silent killer." I giggled. "Silent killer? Why?" I blinked with an arched eyebrow.

"You strike when we least expect you to." He smirked, and I smirked back at him before he sent me into a laughing fit which had as both tumbling down to the ground with him on top of me.

He had his arms placed on either side of my head as he tried to lift his weight off of me so that he wouldn't crush me and send me to an early grave. I was trying to catch my breath again before it got caught in my throat when we gazed into each others eyes. His was smiling with his eyes.

I've never seen that look on anyone's face before when they're looking at me.

Never thought that anyone would say those three words to me.

Never thought I'd ever have a chance to be... happy.

It was a breathless moment that left me utterly speechless. His eyes said it all. His eyes spoke of love. It was a strange feeling. But it was a feeling that I wasn't willing to let go of any time soon.

He means everything to me now, as I mean everything to him. Maybe...maybe I was ready. I was about to open my mouth and tell him but he stood up and brushed his pants off and helped me back up. I just stared at his hand blankly with my mouth opening and closing shocked beyond belief.

It didn't occur to me, that he was waiting for me to grab his hand, but I did after a while... before shaking my head in my hazy stupor and grabbing it. He pulled me back up, and slammed me against his chest with his arm hanging loosely around my waist just keeping me in place.

He pressed his lips to mine. "Why do you look dejected? Did you expect something to happen?" He teasingly smirked before smacking my ass; making me jump up in surprise. I scoffed at him before smacking his chest and huffing out..."n-no. I just...nevermind." I whispered before looking away from him.

He creased his eyebrows at that before he cupped my chin, and forced me to look up at him with a gleam in his eyes. "Did you expect us to do the deed? You're so cute, all full of wishful thinking, just like a girl. But its okay you can be my girl if you want, and I can be your prince...how about that princess should we give it a try?"

I glared at him coldly before smacking his chest again, now just struggling to get out of his arms, mostly out of embarrassment. "What did I tell you about hiding from me beautiful?" He whispered as he held my wrists against his chest.
