'...Coz...i give you all of me....and you give me all of you...'

I looked at him, as he finished singing the other song...he was watching me lovingly, i guess expressing each and every word that was in the song.

"Eyes on road please." i said blushing.

"You doubt my driving skills?" he asked smirking.

"Nothing like that.." i said and looked out of the window.

We were driving through a road in the forest., suddenly he turned our car to a houseway path and stopped in front of a house. I looked at him questioning.

"Come with me." he said as he got out and opened my door and took my hand. It was a wodden one storey house. He took the key out from a nearby flowerpot and opened the door.

I stepped inside and saw it was very pleasant. The living room was all white with a light shade colours. I immediately liked the arrangements.

"Be comfortable." he said.

"Where are we? Who's house is this?" i asked him looking around.

"This is my place." he said.

"Your place? but you have your house right?"

"Yes..but that's the pack house. Though we stay there, i have prepared this place on my own. Whenever i need to be alone i come here..there are specific reasons why i choose this place. You will know them soon." he said coming closer to me.

"So Sue doesn't know about this place and what about Demon?"

"Only Mom knows." he said slowly putting one of my loose hair strand behind my ear. "You liked the place?"

"It's beautiful. I feel..relaxed." i said enjoying the serenity of this place. It was so welcoming and homely.

"I knew you would love it.." he said giving a small kiss on my lips.

"Was this your surprise?" i asked him.

"Yes ..umm..partly." he said smiling to himself.

"What do you mean by partly?"

"I have another surprise for you later."

I looked at him shaking my head...another surprise..i rolled my eyes before sitting on the plush sofa.

"So, are you hungry? I was thinking of preparing something for both of us." he suggested.

"Ofcourse i am."

"Okay..what should i prepare for my lady?" he asked winking.

"Anything will do Bryan."

"Umm..how about noodles?" he suggested.

"I'm good with it. Let me help you."

"No way. You take rest. I will do."

"Bryan, i am not going to eat then."

"Okay okay..fine." he said and went to the kitchen, i followed him. The kitchen was equipped with all the basic items needed. Seems Bryan keeps this house clean and neat but i doubt he is the only one to look after this place.

"You take care of this place alone?" i asked while chopping the veggies. Bryan was boiling the noodles till then.

"No..i have a housekeeper, Aunt Sam. She looks after this house."

"She is not here now?"

"No, she is at her home. She will be here in evening."

"You like this house right?" I asked looking at his comfortable side.

"Yes very much. This is my home." he said genuinely smiling. I looked at him amazed. I have never seen him this happy.

"You know what?" he said.

"hmm?" i asked busy in chopping carrots.

"I will love to see you here working in this kitchen barefoot and pregnant."

I dropped the knife and looked at him.. What!!! He is dreaming of me as his wife? I never thought about this ever...but..it sounds so- good. I smiled inwardly.

"You are dreaming too much Bryan." i said getting back to my work.

"Hmm.. you make me feel so Elena." and in a moment he was holding me from my back kissing my neck.

"Bryan...what are you doing? Let me work." i said trying to push him away.

"Hmm..that's what you will say at that time."

"Bryan...just leave me okay." i said struggling to get out of his hold.

"I love you Elena." he said holding me tighter.

That was enough to make me stop struggling. Why does he do this to me.

"Bryan...please.." i turned to look at him still in his strong hold.

"Please what?" he asked looking deep into my eyes. Ohh my!!

"Leave me?" i said looking at my hands which were on his chest. Suddenly he was away and back to his work of preparing noodles. I was surprised. I felt so different, as if i didn't want him to leave me. He is making me feel so different. I feel as if i want him. I shaked my head looking at him and started with my work. After about half an hour we were all ready with lunch. I prepared a chocolate mouse as a dessert which i kept to freeze because we both liked it freezed.

We ate lunch and then we were on our desert. He hadn't spoke anything to me since our last close encounter. That was weird and i was feeling very odd. I have never seen him like this...but we have met just two days before. Still, it feels like i know him for so long. We ate the dessert in silence. I was expecting him to atleast compliment me for the dessert but no..nothing.

That's it! What is wrong with him?

"Bryan...are you mad at me?" i asked looking at him slightly.

"No.." that was all he replied.

"Why do i feel so that you are mad?"

"Nothing like that." he said without looking at me. He got up and took both of our plates and went to the kitchen. I was unsure of what to do. So i decided to avoid him and explore the house. I looked around there was another room at the far corner, i went inside and saw it was a study room. There was a bookshelf which included hundreds of books. This was amazing. I went inside towards a small attached door to the study room and stopped in my tracks. There were so many paintings. Mostly of nature. They were so beautiful. I went to a painting which stole my heart. It was a natural scenery of a sunset. So amazing. It looked very real. My sight stopped at the signature and i was surprised to know that it was made by none other than Bryan. I didn't knew he was a good artist. I looked around, some of the paintings and stopped in front of one. It looked like he was recently preparing it i saw the pallette and colours around it. It was covered with a soft paper. I opened it and was surprised to see...it was my portrait. Though it was just half made, only bright fine highlights were pending. I couldn't find words. I was so overwhelmed looking at myself in that painting. How can he love me so much?

"Did you like it?" Bryan asked coming in. I turned to see him standing just behind me.

"I loved it...I loved all of them." i said to him giving a hug.

"Hmm.." Again nothing...

"Stop behaving like this. I feel uneasy." i said looking at him.

"I thought you didn't like me holding you."

"Bryan..." How am i supposed to tell him how i feel? I looked at his eyes searching for something. All i saw was his control. I know he loves me a lot and he is trying to control himself for me. I don't know what came over me and i just kissed him. He let out a growl and holded me tight, returning my kiss...both exploring each other's mouth biting lips. We were unstoppable, i didn't wanted to stop while he wasn't stopping too. It was magical, i felt that we were meant to be mates. Despite of all the other things, it was him who was forming a special place in my heart. We stopped - both breathless. He looked at me and caressed my face.

"See? You can't stay away from me now." he said smiling inwardly. I blushed and nodded agreeing..
