Amkay's POV

Kalli and Zicko went their own way and I imagine that they needed some alone time so that Kalli feels better. I watch Morgan go into her room and my eyes watch the door shut. I want to be with her and hold her but I felt her pulling away and no matter what I did she would pull back slightly. I walk to my room which is across from hers. I open my door and walk into my room. I left the door open and lay on my bed. Before I know it my eyes close and I fall into a deep sleep.

Morgan's POV

I hear Amkay go into his room but the door never shuts. I go peek my head outside and see no one in the hallway. Taking a chance I walk towards his open door. Looking slowly into his room I see that the walls are painted black with purple and have a couple of pictures with a black dragon in them. He is on a large bed and is sleeping. I inch my way to him without making a loud noise. When I am by his bed I see his eyes closed and he is breathing deeply. He looks peaceful like that. I reach my hand out and place my hand gently on his cheek. It is soft and he has a little stubble but it is not noticeable. I run my fingers into his hair. It is soft and thick which compels me to keep doing it. He moves into my hand but is still asleep.

"Morgan." He whispers in his sleep.

I smile and lean closer to him.

"I'm right here." I say in his ear.

After I say this his eyes shoot open and I jump back startled. He grins and pulls me onto the bed, beside him.

"I thought you were mad at me." He says.

I shake my head no. His arms snake around me and my heart jumps wildly. He pulls me in and I can't look away from his eyes. They are a glowing purple and have an elongated pupil, like a serpent's. I gulp and am only centimeters away from his face. He leans his forehead on mine.

"I can't describe how happy I am that I found you. A mate in which I can share my life with. If you had been the one taken I would have torn apart the world to have you back. Nothing will take you from me, I swear. Just promise me that you will not shut me out of your life. I need you just like I need my dragon." He says.

His words wrap me in a loving warmth. He puts his emotions out there without worrying about what I will say. I am too shy but I want him to know.

"Amkay, I know that it seems as if I am holding back but I have never had something like this. I become uncomfortable when put into situations that are unsure and unpredictable. I want to be with you everyday at all times. But my personality restricts me. I am a shy person, so I need to be pushed in a way that I know is best for me. And that is you. What I want to say is that I love you and I want to see where we go in our journey."

He is shocked and I can see it by the way his eyes get bigger. When I remain quite his eyes glow even brighter and I see scales shimmer on his arms. He leans forward even more and seals our lips together. I feel electricity run through me and it makes me laugh. It's his emotions I sensed and that of his dragon. He smiles against my lips and deepens the kiss. I open my mouth and he groans. I feel his tongue stroke mine. We have never gone this far before and I find it wonderful. I moan when he becomes more passionate. But suddenly he pulls back and is accross the room before I can blink.

"Sorry. I became too excited. I forgot to keep my brother back. But he likes you too. I just need to cool down a minute." He says.

I smile at move to one side of his bed. I lay back on the pillow and get under the covers.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" I ask.

He nods his head yes and I wait for him to lay down next to me. I see his eyes go back to normal, well as normal as they usually are. He closes his eyes and I know that he is talking to his brother. A couple of minutes later and he walks to the bed. I smile at him and he lays down. He brings me closer to him and I rest my head over his heart beat. It's still fast and I giggle.

"What's so funny?" He asks.

"How fast your heart is beating." I say.

"It's going that fast for you. Plus what we were doing is still having an internal reaction."

I smile and close my eyes. The day was long and being in Amkay's arms gave me warmth and a sense of safety. Before too long I am drifting into sleep. But before I am fully in sleep I hear him whisper to me.

"I love you with all that I am and hope that you will spend your life with me as a heart mate. I don't know what I would do without you so please don't leave. I don't want to be alone anymore."

I feel his heart do something weird. It skips a beat as if to say it was lonely as well.
