Us and Them

She nodded. "Well I..." She began but then shook her head before snuggling closer to him.

"Well you, what?"

"I just..." She started again a deep blush rising to her cheeks as she turned her face into his shoulded . "I wanted to um...well I wanted to be with you first..."

Hunter raised an eyebrow, not entirely catching on first.

Jaylin didn't say a word keeping her face hidden in his shouoder.

"Jaylin, explain it to me."

"I can't..." She whispered curling up in his arms instead.

"Why can't you?"

"I won't go against what you want..."

"Jaylin tell me what you meant, I can't tell you if its what I want or not if I don't know what you're on about."

"You said you wanted to take things slowly...this wouldn't be doing that."

"Jaylin tell me anyway."

She shuddered slightly. "I'd rather not...I'm sure I'm already making more then a fool of myself."

"You're not, so tell me."

"Hunter..." She whispered lifting her head slowly to peer up at him, a hand slipping beneath his shirt as her fingers skimmed lightly over his stomach.

He looked at her, raising an eyebrow., he wanted here I say it out loud because to him that meant something, but he wasn't about to tell her that.

She continued the light motion of her fingers against his stomach as she looked at him trying to work out how to say what she wanted. "I love you Hunter and I want us to make love to each other...just once before have you turn me so we can spend our lives together..." She spoke so quietly he might not have heard her voice shaking a little it being clear how hard it was for her to tell him this.

Hunter looked at her and he gently ran a hand through her hair. "Jaylin I love you, but I want to know that this is what you want for sure, because no matter how much I want to make love to you too and turn you to spend forever with you, you can't ask to be turned back."

She closed her eyes leaning her head into his hand for a few moments before she opened them to look at him. "I've never not once had anyone that cared about me or protected me let alone told me they loved me and wanted to be with me...You've never hurt me in anyway and both you and your sister and her family helped me so much already. I want to be with you Hunter...more then anything...please..." By the time she whispeed the last word there were tears slipping down her cheeks.

Hunter gently wiped away her tears. "No more tears Jaylin." He told her in a faint whisper, before he put both hands on either side of her face and pulled her int him, kissing her lips deeply.

She muffled a sniffle from her tears as she fell into him returning the kiss exactly.

He pulled her closer, before he used this to lay her back onto the bed.

She let him move her but she kept her arms around him keeping the kiss.

He kept the kiss, gently moving a hand under her shirt.

She moved towards his hand a little.
