Feeling the slight breeze as he pulled the cover back I tensed. He was spending the night in my bed.
"Princess".
"Stop calling me that". I groaned.
"Leah". He sighed.
"I'm tired".
"Relax babe you're all tense, you need to chill out".
I was trying my hardest to relax but it was difficult with him being this close to me. Taking a deep breath I turned around so I could face him. I was glad it was dark.
"I'm not used to anyone else being in here". Never once have I had a guy share my bed, not even Tommy. It was strange and it didn't help that I had all these crazy feelings that I didn't understand.
"I don't bite princess".
"Again with the princess". I huffed. He didn't understand how much he was effecting me. He didn't understand that this was way out of my depth. I didn't know how to deal with what I felt for him. Turning away from him I froze when I felt the coolness of his hand against my back.
"You wanna know why I call you that?".
"No". I couldn't think when he was touching me.
He laughed.
"You mad?".
"No". I sighed. "I just-.." I couldn't say what I wanted to say. I didn't know how to say it. I didn't want to make him angry.
"You don't know how to act around me now". He removed his hand from my back. "It's okay Leah I get it. You finding out-..."
"I think I like you". I blurted out cutting him off. There was no point trying to deny the feelings that were growing for him. What was the point in hiding it or trying to hide from it. "I can't explain how or why and in the short amount of time that we've known each other I shouldn't feel like this but I do. You make me feel safe".
"Babe"...
"I'm so confused". I whispered. I barely knew him and yet it felt like I've known him for years.
"It's the bond".
Now he had thrown me off. What bond? What even is a bond?
"Our mating bond". He sighed placing his hand back against my back. Even when he did that it soothed me. Any worry I had gone and just by one touch.

I feel everything and more so when we're together but you can't just throw all this on me. I need time to think, process, I can't just jump into something I don't fully understand". He may not like that but I had to do this for me. I had to be sure this was
