.Innocence.

Waking up I see that everything is OK
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

Allie was sore. Extremely sore. Sore in a good way…a very good way. Her head may have been fuzzy from lack of sleep and a close encounter with death, but her mind kept replaying last night over and over and over again; every perfect, blissful, amazing detail.

Being her first time, there was obviously pain, but Jake was there to help her through it; to kiss away her tears and hold her as she adjusted to the new sensation. And once the pain dulled, there was only pleasure…and Jake was definitely there too. It didn't last long: neither of them could hold on for that long, but every moment was brilliant and full of passion, heat, and love.

Allie snuggled into Jake, as she remembered all of it; remembered and knew it was something she would never forget. Lying in the cocoon of his arms with her back to his chest, snuggled under a light sheet, Allie felt Jake shift closer to her and nuzzle her neck.

"Morning, beautiful…" His voice was groggy, but the emotion was still there. That and he was thoroughly content to lie with his girl forever.

She laughed. "Hello, sexy."

His arms tightened around her, and he placed a light kiss on her bare shoulder.

"Right back at ya."

Smiling, Allie rolled over to face her wolf. Or tried to anyways.

Jake's body tensed, as Allie winced and stifled a groan between her lips. Jake kissed her, softly, gently. His warm breathe caressed her face, and she lost herself in him.

"I wish it didn't have to hurt. I should have stopped – "

"And I would have killed you."

"I believe you. But still…"

"Stop." Allie pulled away from him. "It's not your fault. Bruised ribs remember. You didn't do that. You just gave me the best night of my life. So if you want to blame yourself for pleasuring me silly, well fine: you're all to blame."

Jake stared at her: shocked. "I can't believe you just said that…"

Allie scrunched her nose up. "What?"

Jake's eyes filled with mirth. "That I pleasured you."

Allie's blush swept over her and made her body go hot. She buried her face in his chest and groaned causing him to chuckle.

He began serious again and she felt his body tense. "I'm sorry. I just…I was afraid…I didn't want to go too fast and h – "

Allie lifted her lips up to his to silence him. "You were…perfect; beyond wonderful. So shush it. I love you. Get over it."

His lips turned up, "I love you more."

"Prove it."

And he did.

Twice.

This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by

It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

This innocence is brilliance
Please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
