The feel of his lips gently against her own was surprising and not all that unwelcome. He had pulled back after the slight kiss which gave her no room for any reaction. Yet he still looked unsure afterward and in this confident seemingly fun-loving guy it seemed wrong. He had kissed her before in front of everyone when he had found his friend dead and he had almost kissed her days ago. That time he had pushed her against the wall but she was sure it was because of his wolf. "You are always forgiven. I could never, not forgive youâ€¦after all we have gone through you really think Iâ€™m gonna stop forgiving you all of sudden." Those words were enough to settle the guilt a little bit for what she had done and to think that he cared about her enough that he would always forgive her had her feeling a little dizzy with happiness. Though the happiness was a tad short lived when he leaned his head on her shoulder. She felt rather then saw at first the flood of emotions he had been holding inside himself. He was still mourning the loss of his friend as well as the other things that were going wrong lately. This show of weakness was an intimacy that she felt honored that he gave to her. He did not seem the type to break down like this in front of anyone.<br/><br/>He sobbed and cried out his sorrow while all that time she had held him close. She had moved him with her back to the front of the bed where she could lean against the pillows and hold him tightly. She felt tears prick her own eyes when he apologized which made her shake her head slightly, even though he didnâ€™t see it. She held him, rocked him lightly, and ran her hand through his hair and over his back. She let him get out all of his sorrow while letting her comfort him. Her lips lightly brushed over his temple and the irony was not lost on her here. How many times had she wished someone would be there to hold her like this? There had been that time that a man had forced himself on her and others that had done the same in order for her to get food and clean water. She shook those thoughts from her head physically as she brought herself back to the here and now. To the man in her arms that had helped her, given her a home, and helped her with what she was. She could not forget that he had taken her under his wing so to speak to make sure she did nothing she regretted. Even though in doing so he had mated them apparently but the more she was here the less she wanted to leaveâ€¦
