Chapter 10: Commitment?

Piper's POV

I woke up lying on his chest I had a mini freak out when I realized who it was but then I calmed as I thought about what we did that night.

I rested my head on his chest once again and listened to his heart, I felt incredibly small as I lay on him, he was bigger without his clothes on and I somehow felt smaller without mine.

I sighed a happy sigh and lifted my head again when I felt him kiss the top of my head, his unruly light brown hair was even more a mess then it usually is and he had sleepy eyes, he had a soft smile and I knew he was grateful I stayed.

"Hey you stayed" he said speaking what his face had clearly shown.

"Yeah… I didn't want you to think I was just using you" I said but my head was screaming 'I just didn't get up soon enough! I used you last night and I wasn't even caring what it would do to you!!'

"You remember what I am right?" he asked.

"Besides a wizard" I asked.

"Yeah" he nodded.

"A wolf…a werewolf" I asked.

"yes…and well…you see wolfs they mark their mates…to show people that she belongs to him…and I feel very protective of you…I never want you with another man…ever…you have no idea how hard it was for me to control myself last night" he said stroking my hair.

"You mean…you almost…marked me?" I asked chocking on the word.

"Yes…I'm sorry Piper…I mean what I say…I can't help myself…I care about you too much" he said then he put his finger under my chin and lifted my face to his and lightly kissed me.

"I believe you" I said smiling a little.

It had been a long time since someone besides my sisters had said something like that to me.

Not since Leo.

He wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled more into his chest.

We laid there for a while.

"Should we tell everyone?" I asked.

"It's up to you" he answered.

"Is it okay with you if we wait a little while?" I asked I didn't want people to know just yet.

"Anything you want…you know I'll give" he said with a smug smile.

I giggled at the hidden meaning behind his words.

"you stay here…and I'll go get us some breakfast" I said sitting up on him then swinging my legs over and trying to find my clothes but giving up on the hunt and just grabbing his boxers and button up shirt.

"What time is it?" I asked not able to find my watch, and not sure why I had took it off in the first place.

"I think it is about 7oclock in the morning" he said.

"Okay I'll go quickly, make us something and come up before anyone gets up" I said then ran out and down the hall and then the stairs I slowed making sure not to step on the creaky one at the bottom and walked the rest of the way.

I was trying to tame the mess that was my hair as I pushed the door open for the kitchen when I looked up there was many eyes on me.

My eyes went wide and I stood there frozen while they eyed me and my wardrobe.

I turned silently and once the door was once again closed I ran back up the stairs forgetting about the last step and falling right on my face with a thump, I laid there for a while then got back up and ran to his room.

I held the door handle for a while then slowly pushed the door open I turned to him sheepishly I knew my cheeks were crimson red by then.

"Well…we don't have to worry about telling everyone" I said smiling but the fear shown plainly in my eyes.

"What happened" he asked at my side and leading me to the bed.

"Well……everyone is already up…" was all I said then realization hit him.

"And in the kitchen" he finished.

I nodded trying to breath he was holding my hand and his other rested on my back.

I was clutching his hand so hard it probably hurt but he said nothing about it.

"Well…what should we do?" I asked looking over to him. I probably looked like a little frightened girl.

"Maybe we should go down there" he answered looking at me to see my reaction.

"Okay" I said. I didn't want to be in charge in this relationship but it seemed he wanted me to at least approve of everything we do.

I got up off the bed and started to look for my clothes that now just seemed to be lost, while he went to his dresser and got out other clothes for him and another t-shirt and boxers.

"Here just put these on we'll find your clothes later and wash them along with mine" he said pointing at the shirt I wore and his pants on the floor.

"Okay" I hesitated grabbing the fresh clothes.

I stripped slowly because he was just standing there watching me I felt my face flush once again then I put the shirt on and boxers and sat on the bed looking at him waiting.

"You are absolutely beautiful when you're embarrassed you know" he said still just standing there with nothing on.

His words made me blush even more and I hid my face in my hands and giggled.

I felt him before I heard him he grabbed my hands away from my face kneeling down in front of me.

"never hide yourself from me…you have nothing to worry about…no matter what I will always…see you as the most beautiful woman in the world" he said and I knew he wanted to say something else but it just being our first night together he knew it was too soon for me to make that kind of commitment.

I had done that with Leo and it didn't end well, I had made myself swear that I would never do that ever again.
