LEAH'S POV

"Leah.." He muttered. I came to and felt his arms around me..

"Sam." I frowned.. My memory was coming back, slightly as I woke up.... "Oh my God." I shrieked.

"Hey." He smiled.

"Hi." I answered. He frowned at my tone of voice.

"I guess your better.. But you seen angry." He guessed.

"The image is gone. But I feel bad." I answered.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't take your agony. I want you to be happy.. Not upset.." He said. I still hadn't found him.. Where was he? I turned in the bed and felt the sheets rub against my bear skin. Huh.. That feels weird.. . But then I found him.. He was frowning and looking up at the ceiling.. He was under the sheet, but I could see his bare chest and I lost my train of thought.

"Sam."

He didn't look up, so pulled myself on top of him and looked at him.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked.

"No." He answered, looking me in the eye for the first time. "Never. I love you, Leah. I just don't want you to be mad at me.. I feel like I raped you." He looked away from me.

"Sam. It's not that." I touched his chest gently, running my fingers down his chest. "I don't in any way regret or wish I hadn't made love to you.. I just feel like we should have waited...." I kissed his neck and then looked up at him. "Sam.. Look at me." I begged. He looked at me and smiled.

"So. You aren't mad at me?" He asked.

"No. Not at all." I lay my head down on his chest and he put his arms around me. "I love you, Sam."

SAM'S POV

Wow. The effect of Leah's pain on my had been amazing.. Heartbreaking.. I felt her pain times ten.. All I had wanted to do was make it go away..

And then when I thought I had found a way.. I just couldn't help myself from trying.. Anything. I would have done anything.. . Anything to stop her pain.

Now I lay her with her in my arms and she loved me and she wanted me and she wasn't mad at me.. This is the best moment in my life.... Best. Happiest. Greatest.

We were in love. She loved me and I loved her. It would all be okay.. I would take care of her and we would be together forever.. Or however long our forever is.. I hope it's long and blissful and we can stay together and be happy.. I would make that my goal. To take care of Leah. To make Leah happy. As long as the world allowed me to have her. To have my life, my all...

"Sam?" She asked. "What..?"

"Oh. Sorry.. Just thinking.." I said, smiling at her.

"Don't think... Just kiss me, Sam." She begged.

"I can't argue with that." I laughed.

"Well, then do it." She begged. "Kiss me, Sam."

Anything. I laughed quietly to myself.

"What's funny?" She asked.

"Nothing." I answered. Before she could reply, I pulled her in and kissed her gently. Quickly the kiss turned more passionate and I remembered the fact that there was nothing but a sheet between our two naked bodies..

She must have noticed this at the same time, because she broke the kiss and smiled at me. "We really should get dressed.." She laughed. "But. Hold that thought." I laughed with her and silently thanked her parents for taking Seth and going to see family in Seattle.... I sat up and she reached for her clothes. I stood to get mine, which had fallen onto the floor... I slowly grabbed my boxers and put them on.. Then I sat down on the edge of the bed and watched her put her clothes on.. She was blushing slightly, so I turned away and pulled my pants off the floor. I slipped them on and then reached for my shirt.. But I felt her hand gently touch my back.. I turned and saw that she was wearing nothing but her bra and panties and that she was smiling at me.

"Sam... Leave the shirt off.. You look sexy." She laughed at the way it sounded..

"Yes, ma'am."

"Now.." She muttered, pulling me down on top of her.. "Where were we?"
