Once we made it back to the house, Landon carried me all the way upstairs. It made me feel so small but, also safe and protected like he always made me feel. We both noticed right away that his mother wasn't here, who I was really going to miss but, Landon assured me that we would visit. When we reached his room, well I guess our room. He set me down on the bed gently and cupped my cheek before kissing me slowly.

I returned the kiss instantly with a smile until he pulled away, "I really am proud of you." he said, before pecking my lips again making me grin.

I've definitely never felt so happy in my entire life. It was like the ball and chain that was tied to my ankle for all those years. Was gone and it was never going to be seen again. Now it was just Landon, me and our future.

"I've gotta shower, I'll be out right now okay?" he said with a small smile, and I nodded.

As he turned away walking towards the bathroom he grabbed his shirt from the back of his neck and pulled it over. I looked away still not being used to seeing him. But, I noticed he was just standing there before he turned around meeting my confused gaze.

"Shower with me." he stated with a blank stare, my eyes widening.

Mia shouted excitedly.

Landon probably heard it because, he tilted his head downwards with a cheeky smile. I was still focused on the "shower with me" part and was shocked by the fact that he asked. Was I really ready to show him all of me. When I only just worked up enough courage to show him what I did. My face probably looked pretty comical, wide eyes and mouth.

Landon lifted his head to look at me, "It's completely up to you." he gave me a soft smile before turning around, walking further into the bathroom.

I could just feel my face growing red. He wanted me to shower with him, what if he doesn't like what he sees. Yes, he did call me perfect out there in the river but, he didn't see me naked. This time he'd see everything. The water could be heard as he turned it on.

Mia mentioned making me grin at the memory.

Landon did love me, someone actually loves me, no less my mate. I sighed, my heart beat was increasing with every passing moment. Was I really going to do this, it would be such a huge step.

Plus, I'd finally see all of him as well, which made me more than nervous. But, I do love Landon and I trust him. And not to mention I stood in front of my biggest tormentors and forgave them with all my being. If I could do that, I felt like I could do anything. I recited words Landon has praised me with over and over to give myself more motivation.

"You're so beautiful."

"You are stunning."

"I don't think you understand how perfect you are, like truly."

When I wrapped the white towel around my nude body I slowly walked into the bathroom. The glass from the shower already fogged up from the steam. But, I could still make out his tall silhouette running his hands through his hair.

I bit my lip hard, "Landon." I whispered but, that seemed enough for him as he slid the glass door open.

As if he couldn't get anymore handsome, his hair was wet, water trickling down his chest. His gaze was set on the towel before they slowly traveled up to my eyes.

He swallowed harshly, while my heart pounded, "I'm scared." I whispered.

"I know." he replied with a bit of a shakiness in his tone, offering out his hand.

Mia was practically bouncing off the walls in excitement. Thinking we would mate now but, right now I was to nervous to even think about that. I couldn't see his down there yet, because, I was just too scared. Plus all the fog filled the room and I sighed slipping my hand into his. When I stepped through I looked up at him before closing my eyes.

Then I dropped the towel feeling the warm water hit my skin, "Don't close your eyes." he whispered, placing a hand against my face.

"If I don't see your face then I don't have anything to base my feelings off of." I explained, now having an overwhelming feeling of vulnerability.

A gasp escaped my lips when he touched my bare hip, my hand going up to steady myself on his forearm, "Well then base your feelings off of this."

I was brought a step closer to him, feeling him press his lips against mine hard. They moved slowly but, sweetly and I put my other arm to the back of his neck kissing him back. His fingertips dug into my hip the more we kissed, water hitting our faces. A groan left his lips which made me blush. And I felt a sense of calmness especially when we pulled apart and I looked into his soft brown eyes.

"Like I've said, you are so perfect and I love you." he said, stroking his thumb across my cheek.

"I love you." I stated with a shy smile, while his other hand left my hip to cup the other side of my face.

I'm not sure if he knew I was curious or if he wanted me to look but, his next words made me blush in embarrassment.

"You can look you know, love." I smiled shyly rolling my eyes, he grinned.

But, deciding this would be a better time then any I glanced down for a second, Mia spoke in surprise.

I looked back up at him and he chuckled, and I made sounds of embarrassment. My cheeks heated as I put my head on his chest. Yeah, he would definitely hurt me. His hand stroked the back of my wet hair and I felt him kiss the top of my head.

"Can I wash your hair for you, baby?" he asked sweetly, and I smiled, nodding my head.

He grabbed the shampoo next to me and turned me around so my back was to his chest. He put some in my hair running his fingers through my scalp. I felt his lips placing gentle kisses down my neck lingering by my mark. One of his hands dropped to my lower stomach skimming across. A gasp escaped my lips at the knot forming in my stomach at his touch.

My hand gripped his wrist looking down, he was so close. I felt sparks everywhere, electrifying every bone in my body. He rinsed my hair out before he kissed me hard, trailing down my jawline and neck.

Both of his hands slipped to my lower back as he sucked making love bites everywhere he stopped. When he got to my chest he kissed down to my breast's. My breathed hitched after he kissed them.

I gripped on his forearms to keep me standing, "Landon." I whispered, and he lifted his head up to meet my eyes which were hooded over in lust.

I noticed he was shaking a bit and breathing hard through his nostrils. Almost like he was trying to control himself. Then he started to run conditioner through my hair while he gazed at me so intense. Looking at every inch of my face before his eyes dropped down my body for a mere second. He started breathing harder and I realized his wolf and him both wanted more.

"You're shaking." I whispered, while he ran his hands through my hair rinsing it out before placing his hands on my hips.

I touched his arms on both sides, trailing up to cup his face and he closed his eyes. Then I reached up placing my lips against his. They were inviting and warm against my own, leaving an excitement in me. One of his hands slid up my waist, the other touching my stomach, skimming just below my belly button.

An involuntary hum left my lips and I pulled away, "Let me wash your hair." I whispered, and his eyes were almost black before he nodded.

I grabbed the shampoo putting some in his hair and running my fingers through it. His gaze on nothing but, my eyes. I smiled a little shy and he smiled as well leaning down to kiss my lips once again. Then he grabbed some soap and started to roam his hands around my body. It felt like fire and he groaned pushing my hips back disconnecting our lips.

"Layla, I can't." his eyes were closed tightly, "I, can't control myself."

My breath hitched at that and he opened his eyes that swirled with black, and I whispered words that made him growl.

"T-then don't."
