I stared at him, shocked that he even said those words.

You love me?

He nodded and looked down. I walked over and lifted his head, my eyes searching his.

There will come a time where I won't be strong enough to control this...and I'll have to leave. It would be to protect you...and there is a chance I won't be the same person standing here. When that day comes, you won't follow me, you won't try to find me and you won't put yourself into danger. That includes going to Nova or my sister. You never should have fallen...and I never should have let you fall.

He was about to answer when I slammed my lips against his, kissing him passionately. A moan escaped my lips as I felt his hands slid up under my shirt and grip the top of my jeans.
