Jerome's POV

I followed Bridget out of the office and to Theo's room I didn't enter because I wanted to hear what she was going to say.

"Come sit with momma baby." She whispered. I heard him walk over to her and take a seat on the bed.

"Okay." He chirped

"Listen to me Theo, I want you to know that I love you so, so much okay. And I think you are such a beautiful boy who is too good for this world. You are so strong and you deserve everything the world has to offer. So don't settle for anything less. You hear me never settle be the best you can be but be mindful of other too little man. You're extraordinary sweetheart and I love you." She sighed.

"Don't cry momma. I love you too." He said softly.

I stood there for a moment before I walked into the kitchen not wanting to intrude more than I did. I walked over to the fridge and pulled out some things for a sandwich. I think the fact that Eva is pregnant really pushed Bridget to the edge, but even someone as strong and resilient as Bridget has their limits. I just hope she never has to cross them.

I watched her walk into the kitchen determination on her face. She saw me and smiled. She walked up to me and pulled me down into a kiss. My body lit up, and she pulled me close. I was shocked by this but I wasted no time and picked her up placing her on the counter. I stepped in between her legs and she wrapped them around me.

"Bedroom." She breathed. I pulled back and looked at her intensely.

"Your sure. You really want this?" I asked wanting to be a thousand percent sure. She looked at me so strongly I was almost stunned.

"Yes. I want this." She stated before she hopped down off the counter, grabbing my hand leading me out of the room. She pushed her door open before she locked it behind us.

"Theo is he still here?" I mumbled between kisses. She shook her head no.

"He's with Seth."

I nodded bringing her mouth back to mine. We stumbled over to the bed where I gently put her down. I kicked off my shoes before Bridget removed my shirt. She flipped us over so she was straddling me she ran her hands down my chest causing my heart to beat quicker and quicker. Sparks shot throughout my entire body making me shiver. My hands fell to her hips where I pushed her down onto me causing her to gasp.

I ran my hands under her shirt until I'd lifted it over her head. She smiled at me as she kissed me her tongue slipping into my mouth. Our tongues swirled together as I unclasped her bra she shrugged it off before kissing me again. I flipped us over and she worked at getting my pants off. She slid them down before I kicked them off. I heard them drop to the ground before she ran her hands down my back.

I slowly removed her shorts her underwear along with them. I was looking at her for confirmation. She nodded, and I smiled before kissing up her thigh. She gasped as my breath fanned her core. I kissed up her stomach to her breasts and then finally her neck. She moaned as I kissed her mark nipping at it slightly.

"Mine." I growled causing her to smile.

"Yours." She breathed.

I kissed down her body again this time focusing on her body and how much I craved it. Her heart was hammering against her chest as I got lower. I began making her feel as good as possible after an intense couple minutes I could tell she was getting close. I looked up at her briefly before I brought her over the edge. She gripped my head pushing me closer with one hand whilst the other one was gripping the sheets. Moans were falling from her lips accompanied by the odd curse. Once she had come down from her high, she flipped us over a deep hunger in her eyes.

And then it happened.

We were one.

The next few hours were full of pleasure as we mated. She was fully mine now and there was no going back.

She lay sleeping on my chest our bodies closely pressed together. I was rubbing her back as she slept proudly looking at the woman I love.

I just need to tell her that.

There was a bang at the door but I ignored it. Wanting to savour this moment. Bridget stirred before her eyes fluttered open. She looked at me before smiling brightly at me. She stretched making sure to take the sheets with her. She looked at me and bit her lip no doubt thinking about what the last few hours just entailed. She straddled me her hands on my chest.

I pulled her down and kissed her deeply. Trying to pour everything I could into the kiss. There was another loud bang at the door but again we Ignored it. I flipped us over pulling the blankets over us she giggled as I growled against her neck. As I entered her again, she moaned lowly. I began to thrust and just about had a heart attack when the door came crashing down.

I stared with my mouth open as Seth smashed through the door. Bridget squealed as she pulled me on top of her to hide herself from him. I growled.

"Seth what the fuck." She yelled. He took in the sight before him before he turned around a horrified look on his face.

"Oh, my god. I'm so sorry. When I didn't hear from you for a few hours, I got worried and so Rose and I came over here and then when we got here you didn't answer the door. And then I thought I heard something and then I broke down the door." He shrieked.

Wait, Rose is here....

Crap!

I glanced at the door and there she was hands over her eyes and a large grin on her face.

"Seth. Get. Out." Bridget growled I could feel her emotions, and she was channelling all of her embarrassment into anger. Seth closed the door it's hinges were broken so it wouldn't shut but it gave us what little privacy it could. I growled falling back onto the bed.

"I am going to kill him." She growled as she began throwing on her clothes.

"We can't get a moment alone." I laughed. "Bridget... I-" I went to say it but I couldn't so instead I smiled at her "I really enjoyed everything. Right up until Seth broke down our door." I said with a laugh. She smiled at me before she kissed me. Pulling back she looked at the clock. It was 4 pm.

"Get dressed and meet me downstairs. We've got a meeting." She mumbled before she went to exit.

"Erm Bridget!" I called out she turned to me and raised a brow. "You might want to shower first. You smell like sex." I laughed. She bit her lip and nodded.

"Well, let's get this over with." She grinned smirking at me.

——

After a not so quick shower we walked downstairs. And straight away Seth was in front of apologising.

"I'm really sorry you guys. I'll fix your door and I swear I didn't see nothing. Okay maybe I did see a little but I swear I didn't mean too. I-" He rambled before Bridget held up her hand to silence him.

"It's fine. Go and fix my door and then get ready we have less than an hour before we have to meet the hunters." She ordered. She kissed my cheek before walking over to Rose and Casey. She linked their arms and speed walked into the kitchen. I could hear their giggles and It made me smile. I'm glad she's happy.

I took a seat next to Jeremiah. He was laughing at me.

"Interesting morning, huh?" He joked causing me to smirk.

"Well, I definitely had an active one." I joked winking at him. He slapped my leg with a grin on his face.

"Hey listen. Me and Autumn are going home tomorrow." He stayed causing me to frown slightly.

"Why?" I asked.

"She's getting closer and closer to her due date man and I want the pup to be born on its own land y'know." He said causing me to tense. The reminder of the pain they caused me will never leave even though I've forgiven him it still stings and to be honest I avoid talking about it at all costs. I don't want it to become between us again. I missed my brother, so I nodded not offering anything.

"I want to tell Bridget that I love her but I can't seem to get the words out." I admitted as I watched his face light up. He grinned at me before replying.

"What's stopping you man!" He grinned excitedly. I thought about it. I have been for a while. The last person I said that too broke my heart. And if Bridget doesn't feel the same way, then I don't know what I'd do.

"I don't know it just hard for me to say after... well you know." I mumbled he tensed, but he nodded.

"Just tell her man. Before it's too late." He grumbled. I nodded.

I'm going to tell her tonight after we get Eva back.

Hopefully she feels the same way.
