Thankful that Charles had gotten a large amount of food for the next few months encase we were snowed in. I finished putting all the food away where it would fit and stretched out on the couch. With a bottle of pop and a bowl of chips relaxed and watched a movie with the light off. About half way through the movie Bran came home and decided to join me getting his own pop and chips. I nodded my thanks as he refilled my bowl before sitting on the other end of the couch stealing some of my blanket. We both stayed silent until the movie ended and we sat in complete darkness for a long time. Finally I turned to face Bran grateful that I couldn't see his face as I spoke softly, not able to look him in the eye.

"Mr. Cornick I apologize for my behavior earlier today. It was unprofessional and it will not happen again... I should have known better."

He was silent for a short time before he asked somewhat amused. "The kiss or the yelling."

I took a deep breath looking away heart broken again. "Both neither are professional in any way. If you wish to have a new nurse then I will make the call in the morning. Otherwise I will call when and if I see fit someone else to care for you."

He stood up off the couch not making a single sound as he came over to me not that I knew it at first. It wasn't until I heard his breathing and it fanned my face that I knew that he was close. I yelped jumping a little scared feeling as if I was being hunted, out of instinct I laid on the couch. I knew it was a vulnerable position and that was my point, I had no idea what he was going to do next. So far he had surprised me in almost every way, I was going to be careful from now on. Without a doubt I knew Bran could over power me if he wanted to and there would be nothing I could do. My heart had already given into Bran, but my head was still fighting this the best it could.

"I could lose my job." I whispered breathing heavily.

"Stay with me. You said I was almost better and then I can go back to work and support us both." he reasoned, his voice a lot closer then I thought.

"We argue too much." It was true.

"Not true we argue enough to keep our hearts pumping." he was joking again.

I thought about what he said for a second and he took a advantage of that instantly. His lips crushed mine roughly as if demanding all of my attention which I gave to him rather happily. When I kissed him back the kiss began more gentle and meaningful, almost pleasure able. My breath caught when Bran nipped at my lip with a playful smirk, but there was something in his eyes. My whole body squirmed when he began kissing my jaw and worked his way down to my throat. I whimpered digging my nails into the couch as he licked, nipped and kissed my throat continuously. My mind snapped out of the haze when he lowered himself onto me straddling my legs.

"Don't say it." he growled as if he read my mind. "I'm fine."

the only thing that I could do was lick my lips as I closed my eyes and relaxed into him. By now I had heard the stories of the werewolves that lived in town and was pretty was that Bran was one of them. I also knew about mating and part of me wondered and wished if we would mate tonight. There was a rumbling in Bran's chest as he kissed the valley between my breast causing me to whimper again. Bran would be able to smell the arousal rolling off me if he was really a werewolf and that excited me for some reason. With each whimper and moan I had Bran seemed to react more and more, almost more than I was. By that point my body was screaming for Bran to touch me, to love me passionately.

"Wait, wait." my mind was trying to push away the haze again for a second to think.

Bran groaned painfully. "Woman it's not nice to do that to a man."

I giggled a little embarrassed. "I'm not saying no, I'm saying not here."

His eyes lit up in understanding and before I could yelp we were already at the stairs. Bran was making it obvious now that he was a werewolf whether he meant to or not. His eyes were lighter again, but not enough for me to worry that he was losing control of his wolf. I couldn't place when or where I had lost my clothes, but I realized it when he laid me down on the bed. I was completely naked in his bed as he began to retrace his steps with his lips teasingly as he removed his own clothes. When his tongue flicked over my more sensitive area my back arced and nails bug into the bed in pleasure.

My moans came out softly at first, but then grew louder the more he brought me closer to my ecstasy. I wiggled in pleasure, my body screaming for more each passing second and Bran loved it. My fingers entwined in his hair causing him to moan with each passing second that passed. When I thought I couldn't take anymore I moved my hips faster and higher hoping for release. Bran realized this a few seconds later and pulled away with a grin watching me intently. My body stopped shaking after a few minutes as the pleasure began to fade, though I still whimpered. I licked my lips squeezing my eyes shut waiting for Bran to make his next move praying that it would be soon breathing rather heavily. When he lowered himself onto me I growled surprising him as well as myself.

"I'm sorry." he purred.

Then he entered me a little roughly causing me to gasp in pleasure and my back arced. His lips found mine which muffled both of our moans as he continued my body reacting. with every touch the pleasure became more intense and our hips soon found a similar rhythm. My nails clawed at his back when the pleasure became almost more then I could handle. He shuttered and growled softly at me finding it as hard as I did by the sweat on his brow. Whimpering his name I tilted my head exposing my neck, his lips were inches away from my neck. When he didn't move I clenched around him earning another shutter and growl from him.

Before I had time to register everything a bolt of pleasure shot through my body intensely. Bran soon kissed me roughly muffling my moans and whimpers again as we found our release. He licked my neck before laying down beside me breathing as heavily as I was now. My body shook as the last of the pleasure wore off wrapped in Bran's safe and protecting arms. The feeling of content and exhaustion filled me next as I rested my head of Bran's chest smiling. I had almost fallen asleep when Bran nudged me to get my attention and he tensed underneaths me. When I looked up to meet his eyes he looked as if he had age ten years and his voice was thick with worry.

"Do you want me to explain what just happened?"

I shook my head. "The answers won't be any different in the morning. You, Bran Cornick are exhausting."

His chest shook underneath me losing some of the tense feeling that he just a second ago. Everything about him made me feel safe, loved, and completely at ease; part of me knew it wouldn't be that way in the morning. Though part of me suspected that the good feelings were from the mating or however it would effect me. I drifted into sleep trusting Bran completely to tell me everything I needed to know in the morning. Tomorrow Bran would have to justify his actions to his pack and deal with the consequences. Before terror could set in peace flowed thought me and he whispered into my ear softly.

"Don't worry about the my love I will explain everything in the morning." then ever so quietly he whispered. "Mine."
