"We’ll be alone for hours," she whispered "Did you bring protection?"

He nodded, his eyes going froain Even in all the times he’d been in trouble--all the tih his veins as he readied himself to kick someone’s ass--he’d never felt his heart beat this erratically "Rosie," he whispered, "you’re positively sure about this, right?"

She sh his hair "Positive, Vincent, I love you"

Her soft touch alone followed by her words did things to him he couldn’t explain He’d felt this many times when he was around her She didn’t even know it, but he was already co--she was faultless And now she’d be his co hiether, he took a deep breath before kissing her again softly "You should get a towel" He sed back the immense fear that suddenly inundated hiht bleed, baby"

Her eyes widened "Oh," she nodded as the fear swept across her face, too, "right"

He lifted himself away from her, and she slid off the side of the bed and walked out into the hallway She walked back in, covering her bare chest with a towel, and smiled at him nervously

Since this wasn’t so spontaneous anymore, Vince stood and helped move her teddy bears aside It made him smile to see out of all the bears on her bed, the pink one--the he’d won for her--was front and center He stopped to kiss her again then lifted the bedspread This was only his second ti it in a coirl he knew had called hi out while she babysat He’d gone over and hung out then he left im for him

All the other times had been in backseats, front seats, on the roof of his apart; he’d even made use of public bathrooiven any thought to the outcome--the consequences The only consequence he’d ever worried about was the possibility of getting one of the he’d enjoy and never think twice about This--this had hinant with his baby was alht It didn’t scare him half as much as what Sal would do to hio down--under Sal’s very own roof

Rose placed the towel on the bed Vince closed in fro her perfect brsts in his hands "I don’t think you realize," he whispered in her ear then sucked her lobe, "what you do to me"

She turned around to face hi, then I do"

He shook his head staring in her eyes "No," he said slipping his hand behind her neck, "I am so crazy about you, Rosie I really don’t think you have any idea" He gulped again, trying to suppress the fear, but only because it was her would he share a little of what he was feeling "It’s terrifying"

Her eyes widened again, searching his "Why?"

There was no way to explain it "I don’t know, but after we do this, I know it’ll be even worse No one has and I don’t think anyone will ever co me feel what you do, ever"

"Good," she smirked, "because I don’t want you to ever be with anyone else I know I don’t want to be with anyone else…ever"

God, that’s exactly what he needed to hear Taking her face in his hands, he sency he’d kissed her earlier Within seconds, they were back on her bed He kissed her deeply beforehe was the only guy that had ever had the pleasure of even kissing her and hearing her say she wanted to keep it this way alleviated a little of his fear Vince had no doubt he could stay out of the norot into trouble for After his punish that petty orth it He realized that taking any kind of chance was a slap in the face to Rose who herself said she’d never chance so so far away and the possibility that any other guys h towould be nified a thousand times This past month away from her had been torture He loved and trusted her completely, but it still didn’t take from the fear that he may someday snap, and his ability to be around her would be taken froood She was after all still a minor--would be for another year

Vince stopped suddenly, lifting his head when he heard soh his hair, s to the monitor "He makes noises in his sleep"

His relieved heart thumped a little less violently "We’d hear the visions of ju out herinto the backyard while she threw his clothes at hiht the to reassure hie door open before they even drive up the driveway But I’one for hours" She pulled his shirt to bring him closer and kissed him even more passionately
