As we sit there and the sun has set we continue to talk about our likes and dislikes. Jace tells me him and Jazzy are also getting to know one another. I tell him that is wonderful and he tells me she is nervous about our first night together that she doesn't know if she is ready to complete the mating process. I grin a little to myself because I had never planned on doing anything until I knew for sure my girl was ready and I knew she was not. To put her mind at ease I tell her. "I figure we we can take things slow and go at your pace when it comes to completing the mating process. I would love nothing better than to do so and mark you as my own and have you mark me but I know I am nervous about it so I can only imagine how you feel." She raises her head and looks at me and says. " How did you know I was nervous?" My smile just gets bigger and I tell her " Our wolves are getting to know each other just like we are so Jace let's me know what Jazzy is telling him so she just confirmed what I already figured." She says "Thank you for wanting to wait until I am ready it means the world to me and Jazzy has confirmed that you are nervous and told me about her and Jace talking." "I would wait a lifetime for you sweetheart." I tell her as I kiss her forehead. She then let's out the cutiest yawn and does a little stretch.
"I think someone is tired and ready for bed." I say. "Why don't I show you to our room and we both can get ready for bed and get some rest." She smiles at me and nod's her head and then gets up off my lap. We grab our glasses and go back to the kitchen to put them in the sink. In the kitchen she gets a bottle of water out of the fridge and then turns to me and asks. "Do you want me to get you one? I wake up sometimes and need a drink so I always try to plan ahead." I smile and shake my head yes. " Thank you for thinking of me. Already you are making for sure I take care of myself." She blushes bright red and looks away. I can't believe how cute she is when she gets all embarrassed and I can't wait to see just how far that blush goes down her beautiful body. We leave the kitchen and say goodnight to Nathan and Emmy who are watching a movie all cuddled up on the couch together. I am so happy for my friend because he deserves it. We then head up the stairs and she heads straight for the master bedroom and I follow her and ask " How did you know this was my room?" She looks at me and smiles and says "I am the one who cleaned the guest house and got it ready for you guys after Maxwell threw a party for himself, so I made for sure your room was good enough for a Alpha."

He looks at me with surprise and then with awe. "I am glad you are the one who got my room ready but then again they never should have had my girl cleaning up after that pompous spoiled brat." He then walks over to me and gives me a kiss on my forehead, the tip of my nose, and then on my lips. After he releases me I sit a bottle on each night stand and ask him. "Which side of the bed do you normally sleep on?" He grins really big and says." I normally just sleep on either side so it doesn't matter to me. What about you?" I like the left side so you can have the right side" "Emmy put all your stuff in the closet and dresser with my stuff." He tells me. We then started to get out our pajamas and he tells me I can use our shower he is going to use the one downstairs so we can be ready for bed at the same time.
As he goes out the door he closes it behind him. I head into the bathroom with my stuff and a towel and turn on the water on and fix the temperature. I undress and step under the spray and can't believe how good it feels. I am so nervous to be sleeping in the same bed with him. I hope I don't drool or snore because that would be so embarrassing. "Stop worrying about it because you will be fine and he is just as nervous. Just like you have never slept in the same bed with a man he has never slept in the same bed with a woman. So this is a first for you both." Jazzy tells me. I take deep breath and let it out and realize she is right. So I wash my hair and body then get out and dry my hair as best I can since I am still sore so I decide to wrap it in a dry towel and wait for it to dry. I get dressed and put my dirty clothes in the hamper and hang up the wet towels I used to dry and head back into the bedroom. As I enter the room he walks through the door. His hair is damp from his shower and he is wearing pajama pants low on his hips and a white tank top. He looks so sexy and I can't help but watch as he walks towards me to put his dirty clothes in the hamper in the bathroom. As he walks by I take a deep breath and breath in his scent I can't help it he just smells so good.

After my shower and Jace telling me to not overreact regarding sharing a bed with my mate I head upstairs. As I enter the bedroom she is existing the bathroom and she has her hair wrapped in a towel and she is wearing a oversized shirt and a pair of boxers with jalapeños on them. I can't help but smile and take her in from head to toe. She is beautiful and I still can't believe she is all mine. As I walk by her to take my clothes to the hamper in the bathroom she breaths me in and I do the same. My grin gets wider because I guess she likes the way I smell as much as I do her. After I put my clothes in the hamper I start to brush my teeth and she walks in the bathroom with her toothbrush. "May I join you?" She asks me. I wave her on over as I continue to brush my teeth. I watch her as she puts toothpaste on her toothbrush then wets it a little then starts to brush her teeth. As I spit in the sink my hip bumps hers and she bumps me back and as I raise my head up and I continue to brush my teeth our eyes meet in the mirror. She then spits in the sink then continues to brush her teeth. I spit again then rinse off my toothbrush then put some water in the cup on the sink and rinse out my mouth she does the same and uses the same cup to rinse her mouth out. We then place our toothbrushes in the cup and I put the toothpaste away.
As we walk out of the bathroom she takes the towel down that is wrapped around her hair and starts to rub it through her hair to finish driying it. For such a mundane task I can't help but be fascinated by it. I love watching her. So I go sit on my side of the bed and prop myself up against the headboard with my pillow behind my back and just stare at my beautiful mate. The way her head is tilted I get to see the beautiful curve of her neck and all the little freckles on her arms, neck, and the little bit of her back I can see. I started to slowly run my eyes down her body I stop at the words on her shirt. " I don't do mornings until after I have had my coffee" I chuckled a little and then continued to move my eyes downward. I grinned bigger at the boxers she wore. They were white with red jalapeños on them and it made me wonder if she wore panties under them. I had to stop thinking things like that or I was going to scare her and embarrass myself. Jace started to laugh in my head. "Not funny man" I tell him. "No it's hilarious." I flip him off and continue my journey down my mates legs and stop at the rose tattoo I see on her left ankle. It is just one single red rose with a banner going up the stem. As I am about to ask her about it she flips her hair over her head and starts to dry the underside and my mouth goes dry because her beautiful butt is in view and I can't help but think about touching that wonderful backside.

After I dry my hair I get the brush out of the bag Emmy brought to the hospital and began to attack the tangled mess that is my hair. While I do so I sneak glances at Jackson and notice that he is watching me. "He likes your butt a whole lot" Jazzy tells me and I can't help but grin. I think to myself that I will be able to use that in the future. After I brush my hair I clean out the brush and place it on the dresser. I then get my dirty clothes out of the bag from the hospital and throw away the bloody clothes but go and put the dirty clothes in the hamper and hang up the wet towel. I close the door to use the bathroom before I lay down. I finish my business and flush the toliet and wash my hands. After I head out of the bathroom I get my lotion and hair bows out of the bag Emmy had packed and put the bag in the closet. I then braid my hair and put a hair tie at the end. I then start to put lotion on my arms and then my legs. As I do this he watches my every move. He picks up the lotion off the bed and looks at it and then sets it back down. "I love the way you smell. You smell so good I could just eat you up." He tells me with a mischievous look on his face and a snirk. I blush and clear my throat and then put the lotion on the nightstand.
He gets up from the bed and the asks. "Do you mind if I take off my shirt I don't normally sleep in one." I tell him I don't mind. He then removes his shirt and as he places it on the chair in the corner I can see all the muscles in his back and when he turns around I see the defined muscles in his arms and the hair on his chest and his six pack and happy trail going to the waistband of his pajama bottoms. My mouth goes dry because I can picture myself running my hands and tongue all over his chest. With that thought I know my face is red so I turn and take a drink from the bottle of water and hope it helps with how dry my mouth is now. I then pull the blanket and sheet down and climb in the bed as he does the same. "Rose I know this is all new for us both but I would hate myself if I do not ask. Can I hug up to you or hold you in my arms." I smile and tell him. "I normally sleep on my right side so you can hug up to me if you want." I turn and face the bathroom and get comfortable and I the feel him slowly hug up to me and put his arm around me. As I drifted off to sleep I smiled to myself because I was so happy to finally be safe in my mates arms and right where I needed to be.
