Epilogue

Wes' POV

I woke up from the best night of my life. I made love slowly all night long with my sweet Jamie. Over and over again I took her body, making her forget her trauma. Once I started, I couldn't seem to stop. I needed this almost as much as Jamie did. *I needed to heal from watching that bastard put his naked body on her... If I think about it too much I still think I'm gonna be sick.*

I was so scared. I could've lost my girl last night and I don't know if I would've ever found her if that had happened. I was reluctant to let her out of my sight. I know the doctor had to check her out last night and ask her questions that were confidential, but that didn't make me any less needy. *I had to have her hand in mine or I would panic that she would disappear on me. I can't lose her! I love her!*

I didn't know if giving in to her request last night would be a good thing or a bad thing... *What if she regretted giving herself to me after what had happened? Was is just a knee jerk reaction and she would hate me afterwards?*

I guess it didn't matter one way or the other. *She wanted me and I wanted her.* I was willing to give her anything to make her feel whole once again. I'd just have to deal with the consequences later... Much later... *Like maybe when I'd finally convinced myself that Jamie was safe and never going to leave me ever again.*

I caressed every inch of her body with my hands and mouth as I worshipped her. Each touch sending a spark running through me. I have no idea how I kept it slow and gentle instead of giving into my own needs and taking her hard and fast, all I know is I lost myself in the most beautiful woman I've ever known. And I have every intention of losing myself in Jamie on a regular basis.

*Never have I ever felt so connected to a woman when I was deep inside her body.* Honestly, I have never felt this all consuming need to be a part of someone before. This was not like banging some chick up against the wall to get your rocks off... *No, this was... powerful. The only feeling I could connect this powerful emotion to was love.*

*I love Jamie*. I have known for a while now that I've been falling for this girl, but suddenly it's like she is all I care about. I want to make this woman my whole world... And if she would let me, I want to spend the rest of my life with her by my side.

*Yes, she would be the most perfect wife!* I'm not asking her now... She's only 19... *I can wait a few years before I put a rock on her hand... I think...*

After waking up from the best sex of my entire life, I took her in the shower... I really couldn't help myself. I just can't seem to keep my hands to myself anymore... Not now that I know what if feels like to be connected to this woman in a way that defies anything I've ever known.

And probably the best thing about it was, Jamie didn't seem to regret any of it... Even when I realized I probably should've been using a condom... We'll see what happens later. There is no rule saying she can't be pregnant while at school...

Actually if it turns out she is, I'll probably find us a nice apartment in town and ask her to marry me sooner than I'd planned. The thought makes me smile... If we are sharing an apartment, that means I don't have to deal with Gwen or Ryan... *And then I could wake up with her by my side every single morning for the rest of our lives... Now that I'm thinking about it, I really want it!*

I'm actually planning on bringing her home to meet my family next weekend, if she will let me. I need them to know I've met the only woman who can send my heart into overdrive with just a look and a smile... Not to mention I'm completely addicted to her accent.

I made us a breakfast of French toast and bacon. While we were eating, we had a surprise visitor. Not that I minded this one..*. It could've been worse! It could've been Gwen!*

Officer Young stopped by to let us know that they had found the bodies of 8 young women, all about the same age as Jamie. The most recent was Ashlyn, and that hurt. I didn't know the other victims, but I did know Ash. She was a good girl and would've been an awesome friend for Jamie... Much better than her current roommate.

I held Jamie in my arms as she cried over her friend she'd only known for about 4 hours.

Jamie would've been Rick's 9th victim. *That bastard better pray for death, because if I ever see him again, that is exactly what he is getting... the slow way.*

As I was calming down my sweet Jamie from the new revelation Officer Young brought to us, Ryan, Axel, Crew and Neo all stopped by.

Apparently they had heard what had happened and came over to see how she was doing. They told us that most of the student body had heard what had happened to Jamie and surprisingly, everyone was very ashamed of the way they treated my girlfriend... Even Gwen.

So as far as I know, no one will be harassing Jamie ever again.

When everyone finally left, it was just me and Jamie sitting on the couch. It's finally peaceful and quiet. *No one else but us, just the way I like it.*

"It's all over, princess. No one will ever hurt you again," I promised. And this time I am sure I can keep it, because if even one person tries to harass my girl again, I will beat the hell outta them, whether they are a boy or not!

That smile she flashes me sends heat running through my body.

"Yes. It's all over... Now we can work on a happy ending," she winks at me sending me a sultry look.

*And that does it! I take her mouth once more as I gather her in my arms, rushing toward my bed. I really want to work on our happy ending too...*

The end.
