I woke to extreme brightness. The sun was shining through the windows and I could feel its heat on my skin. After a few seconds of blurriness, my vision began to focus and I was able to see Ethan. He was already awake, studying me with an unknown expression.

"Hmm…How long have you been staring at me?" I mumbled, hoping I didn't look too horrific after last night's bawlfest.

"Just a few minutes," he replied softly.

I moved closer into his chest, trying to block out the sharpness of the light. It was an innocent move, but I was still naked and somehow the close contact of our bodies caused a slight aching between my thighs. Shocked, I began to worry that I was starting to become sexually frustrated. After what had happened last night - hell, after my fucked up past, too - I was amazed that I could even feel this way at all right now.

"Um. Aren't you…" I began chewing on my lip. "Don't you...I mean…"

"What is it, Kitten," he asked, lifting my head with a finger to my chin.

"It almost hurts me to be this close to you." When he frowned, I quickly continued, "I'm afraid I might spontaneously combust. Does it not bother you at all to be this close to me?"

"Oh." He turned thoughtful for a few moments before smirking. "I always try my best not to make you uncomfortable, but if you're that curious, all you need to do is come a little closer." He grabbed onto my hips and shifted my lower half towards him. I inhaled sharply when I felt his very obvious arousal pressed up against my bare skin. "This is what you do to me every time you touch me. Hell, looking at you alone - simply thinking of you, even, turns me on in ways you'll never know.

"Oh…" After a pause, I subtly rocked my body against his. His grip tightened and he growled.

"Careful, Kitten."

I grinned impishly.

In return, his own mouth curved into a heartfelt smile, which was followed by a lingering kiss on my forehead. When he pulled back, there was a small crease between his brows. "Are you on birth control?"

"Implant, see?" I held out my arm and pressed against the skin where the little white stick lay underneath. "It's good for almost another two years."

He gently stroked his finger over it. "How long have you been…?"

"For about as long as I've been on my own. It's sometimes scary being a girl my size, you know? When you have to walk home in the middle of the night, you gotta be prepared for anything. I don't have the patience for pills or shots, and this method is ideal if I should ever have to go on the run." It was a major relief to be able to talk about these kinds of things with him so freely.

"How often did you have to walk home at night?"

"Most nights. I had to get as many hours in as I could."

"Why didn't you use the money Noel gave you to get a car?"

I looked down, embarrassed.
