Reborn

Chapter Twenty Three - I Accept You

Jasmine

My heart rate increased and so did my breathing as I stared at him. He had sat down in the chair right next to the bed, looking at me with an intense stare. The room was silent and the tension was so thick it could be cut with a knife.

"I didn't mean for you to find out this way" I finally said, breaking the silence. His intense stare hardened as he looked away. I could tell he was angry, by the rapped sound of his heavy breathing.

"What way? The way you died in front of me, the way I thought you where actually dead, the way I almost lost you or the way your brother told me about you?" I could see the anger in his eyes, feel the hurt in his voice and worst of all i could imagine the fear he felt. This was something I had to tell him myself, but I was never ready.

"I'm sorry, but you have to understand that I had my reasons" I said softly, maybe he would understand and forgive me. Or maybe he wouldn't and reject me. There was nothing holding this bond of us together. No matter how strong it was, Logan hadn't marked me, we haven't mated so there was no use for him to keep me here.

He could reject me so easily and that thought made tears roll down my cheeks. I hadn't realized it until I felt his fingers graze them away.

"Don't cry Love" He said so gently that it actually made my heart squeeze.

But that was all it took, one small gesture of gentleness and love was all it took for me to break down and cry. Cry over everything. Over me dying again, over lying to Logan, over the rejection I saw in his eyes, over the worry I felt for him and Blake along with everyone else in this house. I just couldn't anymore.

He was next to me in a breath of wind, holding onto me tightly. All I managed to say was sorry, that was really all I could say. I didn't explain why I did what I did because the truth was i didn't know how to say it.  But what shocked me was that he didn't push me away or walk out the room. All he did was say 'It's okay'

He pulled away and held my face in his two hands. Staring me in my swollen eyes, I felt like a hot mess. But what scared me was how easily I could break down in front of him.

"Please" I choked out, would I really be able to say the rest of that sentence? If I said it, it might turn into reality. Words have power.

"Please, what My love?" He whispered back, I looked into his eyes to see confusion. My lips couldn't move to say the rest. "Speak." He said gently.

"Pl-Please don't reject me" When those words left my lips softly Logan had pushed himself away from me and stood next to the bed. Anger flashed over his face, and I couldn't help but think...

Was that anger for me? For what I did.

"Don't say that again, I will never reject you." He growled. My eyes had widen not because of the harshness in his tone, but because of the shock I felt.

"Don't ever doubt my feelings for you. Because as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow, so too will my heart beat only for you. I love you. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply without problems or pride. I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you. Only us. I love you means that I accept you for the person you are and that I don't wish to change you into someone else. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love enough to not let go"

Speechless, there was no other word to describe what I felt after what he said. I felt everything. Joy, happiness, love, pride, relief. All of the above and more even. 

Hearing him say that, that he loves me for the first time made my heart jump with joy. I had felt it before but hearing the words leave his mouth was like being reborn in an all new way, a better way. 

he confirmed the thoughts I had of him loving someone like me. And that made me feel so happy.  

No matter how tired I was, I still got up from his bed. Standing in front of him I was still speechless. I had no words to give him, because no words was better then the ones he had given to me.

"You have no idea how much that meant to me. I was so scared of rejection because that's all I've gotten my whole life. But acceptance from you is better then acceptance from everyone who has rejected me before. Because your the only one I love, the only one for me. And if this life ends I will love you even more in the next." I had put the rest of my words in the kiss I shared with him straight after. There was more emotion in the way we kissed, more emotion in the way we touched. It was like we finally saw each other better then before. 

Soon the heart melting kiss had deepened and turned into something of more lust and want. He quickly but carefully removed my shirt, looking me in my eyes for a few seconds before he crashed his lips back down on mine. 

All the doubts of us and our bond  being able to break stopped instantly as we sealed the bonding completely. 

That night we had claimed each other, over and over each time more passionate and amazing then that of before. Not stopping until the next crack of dawn which sent us falling asleep in each others arms
