Chapter 1

NPOV

Angel? Patch whispered into my thoughts. My eyes fluttered open and I feel the iciness of the window against my forehead. I sit up strait, making my back crack and pop into place. I looked around and found that it was totally dark around us, and I could tell we had stopped for the night. Are you still tired? Patch murmurs into my thoughts. I shake my head as I stretch, a slight moan escaping my lips as I stretch.

"Where are we?" I mutter, not knowing myself. Patch and I had decided to take a road trip across the country over the summer, and every where we went, Patch would tell me something or another about what he had done in the specific area. Vee thought that sooner or later, Patch was going to try to seduce me, but he had promised to be good at the beginning of the trip, and I tried my best to trust him.

"Colorado" he murmured sweetly "Where I won a record total of 96 skiing races. In a week"

"Hmm…" I say, opening the side door to Patch's Jeep, as he opened his. The cool summer mountain air hits my face, and as I jumped down, my feet landed in a foot of snow. What the… It's summer!My head began to swim from lack of oxygen and I had to gasp just to fill my lungs. Patch was at my side immediately, taking my hand in his, before he lifted me up completely, carrying me bridal style. He carried me into the hotel, and the guy at the front desk tossed Patch the key to our room with no hesitation.

We moved quickly through the halls, and he set me down only to open the door. Once we were inside, I immediately collapsed onto the bed, crawling my way under the covers, still feeling icy and light headed from the cool air, or lack there of. I continued to gasp for air, still feeling light headed, and Patch sat down next to me in bed, smiling at me with a smug kind of look.

"I know a way to make the covers warmer, heat things up a little bit" he says slyly.

"H-how, d-d-do it p-p-please. I'm f-f-freezing cold!" I say, my teeth chattering loudly.

He was under the covers in a minute and then his lips captured mine as he wrapped his strong, dressed in black arms around me tightly, locking me against the smooth hard muscle of his torso. Your lips taste good, what have you been eating, angel? Patch murmurs as he deepens the kiss. Mmm… yummy, it's sweet. I can't help but feel dumb; I should have known this was his way of warming the bed. I pulled away and told him in a stern voice, "No kissing me while I'm in bed, Patch!"

Scared angel? Patch asks sweetly into my mind.

"No!" I say, realizing too late that I sound defensive.

Liar he replies, leaning in and pressing another slow, hot kiss to my lips. I pull away, sitting up quickly and throwing the blankets off me. I make my way to my backpack and withdraw my toiletries bag, heading to the bathroom in a huff. I shower, feeling the hot water run over my body, and after I am finished with my shower, I dress quickly and head to bed. Patch is lying there, resting, but not sleeping. I crawl under the covers with him and curl into a little ball, feeling consciousness slowly leaving me.

Good night, angel. I love you. Patch tells me right as I drift to sleep.

PPOV

Watching Nora sleep just made me want her more. Vee had warned her that I was going to try to seduce me, but I promised her before we began, that I would be the perfect gentleman. I was starting to regret that. I closed my eyes, and all I could see was Nora. I added myself to the picture, kissing her, only this Nora didn't push me away. She pulled me against her, kissing me with a deep passion, taking matters into her own hands, pushing me down onto the soft down of the comforters. I liked this Nora, she was bold and incredibly sexy, not that my Nora wasn't.

Nora stirred next to me, and then, as I imagined her fumbling for my belt, she sprang up, breathing heavily. I opened one eye to see her cheeks flushed. Oops I thought to myself, I must have accidentally pushed the images to her mind. She shot a glare my way.

"You did that, didn't you?" she says, her voice practically a snarl.

Do what angle? I say to her mind, going for innocence, you seem flustered, is everything all right?

"Yeah, just, bad dream" she says, though her voice is still unconvinced. She settles back in for bed and I feel myself smirk, knowing that for once, I finally got away with it.

NPOV

When I woke again, a beam of sunlight was shinning right on my face, and Patch lay next to me, eyes closed, mouth slightly open. I smiled at him, admiring him secretly in his rest. He was mine, and though he was now my rogue, made only for me, I was okay with fighting for him, and trying hard to keep the Archangels and the Nephilims for fighting to the death. I propped myself up on one elbow and watched as the light danced on him, loving the look of the yellow light of the sun on his dark, dark hair. I leaned down, not able to resist myself, and press my lips to his with a feather light touch.

He groans, and sits up as I pull away my lips, and I smile as I see his smile at my good-morning kiss. He leans over and presses my lips to his again. I smile against his and pull away, making little tsk sounds. "A- but but! You know the rules! No kissing in bed. Now be a good boy and take a shower, you are starting to reek" I say, trying hard not to smell him deeply, knowing the smell of mint and spice is dominant on his skin. He groans, but complies and goes to take a shower.

Angel, could you bring me a shirt? I totally forgot it. Patch says I stand and go to grab him a shirt. I walk to the door, and when I try the door, its locked. In one swift motion, Patch opens the door, grabs my hand, and presses the door shut with me, crushing his lips to mine. The shirt falls from my hand in surprise, not knowing what's going on. Finally, I begin to kiss him back.

You never said anything about bathrooms. Patch says, the same amount of humor that is always in his voice ringing into my head. I pulled my head back slightly, and nipped his earlobe before saying, matching his tone, "What is up with you and making out in girls bathrooms?"
