Chapter 4

"You will tell her about your past Ben. If you really want to be her mate she has a right to know." Said Adam

"I know she does. She already knows about the rapes I was accused you are right she needs to know about all of it. I'll tell her when we are together tonight." said Ben

"Hey what are we doing tonight?" I asked

"I thought we could just talk. I have something I need to tell you about my past." Said Ben looking out the window in my bedroom

"We better go so we don't get caught in my bedroom." I said pulling on his arm

We went to our favorite place by the river and sat on the grass

" Okay what did you think i needed to know?" i asked him

"Well as you know I don't like alot of women. Well that's because of my mother." he paused for a minute and looked at me

"What did she do?" I encouraged him

"She abused me when I was young. It's hard for me to talk about it. I've never talked to anyone but Adam about it and that was right after Mercy was raped. My mother is the reason I don't like to be touched by many people exspeacilly women." He stopped talking to look at me and I realized there were tears in his eyes.

"Ben it's okay. She can't hurt you anymore." I said hugging him

"I know she can't. And I also realize that not all women are like my mother. I just thought you should know that if I ever cringe away from your touch I'm sorry." He said

"I love you Ben." I said nuzzling his neck

"I love you too. But if you keep doing that we're not going to make it to your birthday and your dad will kill us both." said Ben smiling at the pout I had on my face

"What do you want for your birthday?" he asked me trying to destract me

"You" is all I said

He smiled at that and asked what I was going to do during the meeting tomarrow.

"Probably go for a walk. Why?"

"Don't go to far away. We still don't know if the rogue that shot me is still around."

"Okay I won't" I said nuzzling his neck again

Just then his phone rang he sighed and took it out of his pocket
