I stare down at her beautiful face, her soft golden skin and long thick lashes. She is the most gorgeous woman I have ever laid my eyes on. I brush the stray hairs away from her face and run my thumb across her lips, down her jawline and back up across her cheek. Her skin feels like heaven underneath my tough, calloused hands. She stirs again and I raise my arm as I stare down at her to see if she wakes up. She doesn’t. I look at the clock on my bedside table and see it's five in the morning. She usually doesn’t open her eyes until at least ten. I’m an early bird and I should be getting ready for today’s workout but I just want to soak this in as long as I can before I have to leave. I run my fingers through her hair and my eyes drift closed from the comfort I feel from the action.

“I love you, Angel,” I whisper into the silence as I fall asleep with the girl of my dreams in my arms. I hope these two weeks fly by.

I wake up to an empty bed. Kohen is gone and as always, I look to the bedside table on my side of the bed. Just as I predicted

- it’s a vase of roses and a note. He does this every time he has an early morning workout. He doesn’t want me to wake up and think he left like that one time. I was honest and told him how I felt. Well, not the part about being ready to text and fuck X if I had to…but that it made me sick to my stomach.

I stretch and look at the clock behind the flowers. It's ten in the morning. I grab the note and open it up. Kohen is such an old soul sometimes. Why not just text me?

Angel,

Good morning, I hope you slept well. I have training all day, so feel free to pop by.

My dad will be there, he will be stalking every training until we leave to the meet tomorrow. I’m sorry. Let’s go out tonight, I want to spend as much time with you before I leave tomorrow. My credit card is under your pillow, there's no limit. See you soon, gorgeous.

-KO

I feel so giddy as I fold the letter back up. He really does care about me. I've never had someone make sure I felt secure on every level as he does. I do wonder why he doesn't want me around his dad, is he ashamed or embarrassed? That's a thought I never let linger long because I don't want to meet anyone in his family anyway.

I climb out of the bed and head to the shower. I turn the water on and right when I undress, I hear a knock on the door and freeze. Who could it be this early? All the guys in this house sleep until the late afternoon.

Except Kohen and Xzavien.

I rush to the door in my towel, hoping it's Kohen surprising me, and boy am I wrong. Instead, it’s a gorgeous woman, tall with short blonde hair and bright blue eyes, her skin is a golden tan color. She is absolutely gorgeous.

“Oh, hi. I’m sorry I thought you were someone else.”

“Oh no, I’m sorry,” she says, looking over my shoulder nonchalantly. “I must have the wrong room.”

“Whose room were you looking for? Maybe I can help you. This entire floor belongs to my boyfriend.”

Her eyes widen but she fixes her expression quickly. “You wouldn’t know the guy I’m looking for. Sorry to disturb you, love.” Before I can say another word, her long legs carry her down the stairs and out of my line of sight. That was weird, everyone knows this floor is Kohen’s. Not giving it too much of a thought, I rush back to the bathroom to get under the steaming hot water so that I can head out on my little shopping spree. I want to be ready for my date with Kohen and I want him to eat his heart out when he sees me.

* * *

It takes me about three hours to get ready but it's fine. I know I can take my time because Kohen usually trains all day long. Usually, with my trust issues I'd be popping my ass over to his training’s but he has this way of making me feel so secure in whatever this is we have going on.

We haven’t made anything official verbally but I know Kohen, and more than that there is something beyond words that ties us together. Call it love at first sight, fate, soulmates. I’m not sure and I kind of hate it. The magnetic pull I feel to him is unexplainable. I’m tethered to him. In his presence, I feel safe and in his arms I feel like I’m home. I believe him when he says he will never hurt me since he has proven it time and time again. So, I’m giving my all to him.

I love him.

I feel nauseated admitting that to myself but it’s true. He makes me feel alive, worthy, beautiful, and most important, loved. With Kohen I’m not too much, or too hard, he gets me, and he doesn’t hold anything against me or hold a grudge.He’s more myself than I am, whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same. I never thought I would deserve my own love story. I am the Hardin Scott, the Royal Dolce, the Carter Mahoney, the Heathcliff. I’m not the soft heroine who all the bad boys fall for, I'm the villain. Kohen is the king in this scenario, the hero. More often than not I question why he wastes his time with me. Like I have a scarlet letter on my chest that I wear everywhere I go. Well, today I’m ripping it off and I’m embracing this, whatever it is, with him. I want it for as long as he’ll have me.

I pull open my phone. I’m too excited for this date. I shaved everywhere and I have some sexy lingerie on under this dress, thanks to Kohen and the little shopping spree he sent me on. I chose a short maroon dress. It has some ruching in the back that emphasizes my curves. The dainty little chain the crisscrosses in the back is perfect and I love the way it drapes around my neckline. Kohen is going to go nuts. I don’t know where we are going but I do know that no matter where it is, we are fucking. I’m already so fucking needy for him.

I text him impatiently.

Me: hey handsome, almost here?

Me: *sends image of my thighs*

No response. My tummy flips, he wouldn’t stand me up, would he? The thought crosses my mind to text X but I would rather avoid that. He will see it as an invite to come over. He has no boundaries and it drives Kohen crazy. My phone pings.

Kohen: damn angel, open up and let me see more. :)

Me: no Sir, you have to wait and see the rest.
