Tangled Love

Jake's POV -

Seeing her in that dress with her curves and long soft legs was enough to send me over the edge. All night I was distracted by my thoughts about her. I knew every man's eyes were on her, she literally turned heads as she walked by. I wanted to rip their throats out knowing they were having thoughts about her.

Her dark hair is sprawled across my pillow and her large brown eyes are filled with arousal. She looks so innocent, so pure and I swallow the lump in my throat knowing if I sleep with her, it would cause her pain. I never ever want to hurt her.

My mouth runs dry as I take in the beauty of her body. She looks up at me, brown eyes wide and innocent as she craves my approval.

"You're beautiful, have I told you that?" I whisper and she smiles warmly at me, her eyes twinkling.

"All the time."

Moments of passion filled with kisses and touching pass and things between us began to escalate until before I know it, I'm almost there. I stop and sigh deeply, closing my eyes.

"Jake, it's okay." Emily whispers, cupping my cheek and stroking it gently. I nestle my cheek into her palm and feel physically sick at the pain I'm about to put her through. The fact that she trusts me enough to do this with her makes my heart swell with love for her. I search her eyes, making sure I don't see any doubt in them. She gazes back at me lovingly, letting me know it's okay.

"Look at me," I tell her firmly. She does as I ask.
