A/N: As promised I am dedicating this chapter to wonderful-sunset. Thank you so much for leaving my story and to all you visitors, maybe just maybe, you can add some reviews too! :)

I opened up the window and shivered as the cold wind blasted into my room. Jared deftly jumped in and shut it all in one motion. It was so quick that it startled me. He turned around and smiled at me looking me up and down. Gah! I realized what I was wearing and covered myself with my arms.

"It's too late you'll never get that image out of my head now," he said as he laughed. I frowned and tried to make myself not care. I took my arms down and watched as he looked me up and down. My heart accelerated and I was sure he could see it beating through my chest. I'm a little slender but I have a nice amount of curves that were even more emphasized by my skimpy pajamas.

"So this is what you sleep in?" he questioned slowly walking around me. I could feel the heat shooting to my cheeks and I nodded dumbly. "Hmmm shy little Kim is not so shy as everyone thinks."

"I have a silk fetish," I murmured and he laughed again.

"I think now I do too," he said and I gasped as I felt his warm hand on my back.

"W…what are you doing here?" I asked not moving a muscle. I had never been so aware of him as I was now. I wondered if he could feel the tension between us as well. The way he circled around me was like some sort of wild animal stalking its prey. He finally stopped in front of me and I noticed the predatory gleam in his eyes as he smiled at me.

"I missed you," he said shrugging his shoulders as if that was all the explanation needed. And it was. I shivered again as I realized my hair still hadn't fully dried. "You're cold." He said worriedly and came quickly and wrapped his arms around me. He was so incredibly warm. I instantly felt the heat radiating off of him and it warmed my blood.

"Why are you so hot?" I questioned then blushed as I realized how it sounded. He laughed.

"A growth spurt will do that to you," he said as he buried his face in my hair. He growled softly. "You smell delicious. Like lavender and honey."

"It's just my shampoo," I said as I snuggled my face more into his chest. I was perfectly warm now but I was enjoying the closeness so I didn't want him to move just yet. He seemed fine with that and inhaled deeply again. I don't know how long we stood like that but his warmth made me sleepy and I yawned against his chest. He moved back slowly and scooped me up in his arms. I stifled a shriek as I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck. He laughed and carried me to the bed. He moved the covers and lay me down gently. I closed my eyes and sighed as he pulled the covers over me.

"Goodnight my beautiful Kim," he said and kissed my forehead. I sat up quickly when I realized his heat was gone.

"Don't leave me," I said and was embarrassed at how desperate my voice sounded. He looked back at me and walked over. I scooted over and he lay down beside me pulling me onto his chest. I smiled contentedly. "Just stay for a little while longer," I whispered. As I drifted off to sleep I swore I heard him say "Forever."

When I woke up the next morning I realized I was alone but I could still see the imprint of Jared's big body beside me. I buried my face in his spot and inhaled. It still had a faint trace of his woodsy and pine smell. He smelled wonderful. I hopped out of bed excited to see him again. I put my hair in a bun again and threw on a thermal with a pair of jeans and boots. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a granola bar. My mom was already at work so I just ate little bars for breakfast. I ran outside and saw his car sitting there with him leaning against it. I smiled as I took in his appearance. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a pair of jeans. It was a v-neck so I could see a little of his chest. Gosh he's gorgeous. His whole face lit up when he saw me. It's so unfair. I bet he doesn't even know how gaga I am over him. I felt glum thinking about it so I walked slowly over to him.

He looked concerned. "Kim, what's wrong?" he asked. I shook my head not wanting to dwell too much on my unrequited love. Why couldn't I just be happy? I mean he's finally noticing me and now I'm upset because he doesn't love me. Jeeze get a grip Kim. He grabbed my chin and lifted it towards him. I tipped my head back so I could see his face. "You can tell me anything. You know that right?" he asked. I nodded.

"I know," I said. He smiled and surprised me when he briefly kissed me on the lips. I was so taken aback that I couldn't move. After that I couldn't control myself. I pressed myself against him and threw my arms around his neck. He gathered me close and lifted me off the ground so that I could be on level with his face. I pressed my lips hard against his and kissed him for all I was worth holding nothing back. He growled when I pushed my tongue against his lips and opened his mouth to let me in. My heart fluttered as our tongues touched. He squeezed me and I almost couldn't breathe. I pushed against his chest and he finally registered that I wanted him to stop he pulled back and I gasped for air.

"Are you okay?" he asked setting me down. I choked and nodded.

"I just couldn't breathe," I said. He smiled sheepishly.

"Jeeze Kim I'm sorry," he said running his hand through his hair. When I finally caught my breath I straightened up.

"Don't be," I said grinning. He smiled that blindingly beautiful smile again.

"Well let's hurry up before we're late," he said. He grabbed my book bag and placed it in the backseat then opened the door for me and I got in.

Tee hee poor Jared, he's just head over heels for Kim.

If you review, I will be good to you and not only add one chapter, I will post two! (I call that ode to the readers).
