I want to kiss and make up, but she won't let me.

I roll over and sigh, release myself from her.

She's still angry from our earlier fight, body stiff and unwanting.

It turns me on, makes me want her even more.

I can't control my desire as I grab her arms and pin her to the bed.

I don't want to hurt her, but I know that I am.

She moans.

Oh God.

I don't want to stop and it terrifies me.

I jump off the bed and dart out of the room.

I know she will come.

In the kitchen I sit in, head in my hands, shame…and fear consuming me.

She enters and rubs my back, her touch soothing.

I don't deserve it.

"Sam, it's ok, we're…ok," she whispers.

I look into her eyes and see such love, such understanding.

How did I get so lucky?

She takes my hand and leads me back…

Back where I belong.
