Chapter Five

Oakley

Waking up with her in my arms is the most perfect feeling that I could have ever felt, seeing how she is cuddled up against me and making me feel perfect. I couldn’t be sure what I was going to do, a feeling that I have never felt before.

All I could think about is how much I wanted her and everything that I’m going to do to her the minute that I fully made her mine. When I saw how she was looking at me, this heat in her gaze that sent a shiver down my spine, I couldn’t be sure what was going to happen.

But I did know that she is just too perfect and I’m never going to be able to stop the way that I’m feeling. Something tells me that she must be feeling the same way about me because there is no way that she doesn’t.

Lightly brushing my lips against her forehead, I keep her close to me, pulling her further in. She stirs a little bit but doesn’t wake up, a low groan passing through her lips as she watches me. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen when she woke up and realized that I was holding her.

But I love it and I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to stop it. If it happened, I feel like I would regret more and I didn’t want to regret being with her.

I just wanted to care about her and make sure that she was content and happy. If I lost her, I was almost certain that it would ruin everything else and I couldn’t let that happen.

But if they were to find me in bed with her, I’m certain that they would have flipped out or done something worse. Maybe there is a reason that I’m here with her but I couldn’t be sure how well it would go.

I already know that the King is not interested in me being mates with Rowena. I’m certain that he doesn’t think that I’m good enough for her but I can promise him that I really don’t care. When it comes to fated mates, it doesn’t matter.

Once you are there, you are never going to be able to let them go. I just wish that he would have already realized this before it was too late. Now he is going to have to learn that I’m not interested in playing these dumb games with him.

When it comes to Rowena’s safety, I already know that I don’t care.I’m more content with making sure that nobody is going to hurt her and if they try, then they will be dealt with accordingly. I don’t think that he has figured this out yet.

Sighing softly, I turn away and let her go, hoping that she doesn’t realize that I have a boner. If she did realize that, then I would have honestly been a little embarrassed and I’m not even sure it would have been alright.

But just as I’m going to get out of bed, I’m suddenly grabbed, making me look down and I realize that Rowena is watching me with a heated look in her eyes. I’m certain that she can see what she has done to me but I also know that I’m not going to say anything else about it.

If I do, I’m certain that it would end up being a gigantic mess that I don’t know if I am prepared for.

“Where are you going?” She asks me softly, her voice a little husky, like she is trying to think about what she is going to do.

“I have to go and get ready to make sure that I’m going to be able to properly ask your dad for me to court you.” I explain to her, trying to make sure that everything will be okay, “because I know that I’m going to have to have his approval before anything else.”

The realization appears in her eyes and she nods her head, “You’re right. I want to make sure that we’re going to be one. I don’t want him anywhere near you though. Just promise me that you will make those girls leave you alone.”

Her jealousy is cute, making me smile as I look down at her, “of course. There is no way that I would let anyone near me like that. I’m not that kind of person, and I know that I want you more than anything else. I don’t care what comes from it.”

I can’t believe that I’m feeling this way, this intense feeling building within me as I realize that soon enough, she is going to be mine. There’s no way that I’m going to let her go because if I did, I knew that I would regret it.

And regretting it is not something that I’m going to be able to do. Not when I know that she is everything that I need and then some. Something tells me that the minute that we finally get to have one another, we won’t stop.

I know that I can’t stop because I care about her so much.

“I will see you soon.” I promise her, hoping that it is going to be okay, “Just wait for me.”

I don’t know what else is going to happen but I did know that it was going to be alright. I’m more worried about the future, seeing how it could easily blow up in my face if I do this the wrong way.

But I don’t think that I’m going to care too much about it.

Not when I know that I will be able to fully make her mine and not care about anything else.
