William P.O.V
 
  It's such an awful way to wake up being terrified. It’s Bridget. I can hear her noise, She is shouting which comes out frigidly. I  ran down the hallway to the room she was in.
 
  This time, she has gone deep into her dreams. I walked in and tried to make her get up from bed. “Stand up honey. It's just a dream. It is no longer real. So get up from bed.”
 
 
Bridget P.O.V
 
  I woke to see William who looked worried about me. “Bridget, are you okay? You screamed. I’ve never heard you scream before than in your dreams,” he said.
 
  I can sense his fear. For the first time, I am aware of what he meant when he said that he can feel my emotions.
 
  “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bother you,” I apologized.
 
  “You are no longer bothering me. I just want to make sure you are okay babe.”
 
  I smiled at the nickname. He removed a strand of hair from my face.
 
  “Well, I’ll let you go to sleep,” He mumbled and turned to leave. “Wait! Stay? I hope you don't mind?” I asked shyly.
 
  William turned and laughed. “Of course, I don't mind. Scoot over,” He said as he got into bed with me. He laid down and pulled me closer. Just like the first time, I buried my head in his chest and wrapped my arm around him.
 
  He smells so freaking good! And touching him made me calm down instantly. I let the heat wash over me. I felt him kiss my forehead and I laugh. I decided then that I’m not going to fight this feeling anymore.
 
   I’m just going to follow the flow. I fall asleep happily. I wake up to the rays of sunshine on my face.
 
  I heard the birds outside and felt an arm around me. Oh, I feel like this moment should never end. I can him breathing slowly. He is still asleep.
 
  I tilt my head up to look at him. Oh, thank goddess, he is a deep sleeper. Well, I simply ogled the handsome man in front of me. His head is tilted to one side and his mouth is slightly open.
 
   I snickered because It is not flattering. My eyes trail down his body to where my hand is resting on his chest. I run my fingers over his chest and he stirs. I stopped for a while waiting for him to settle. He stopped stirring so I continued running my fingers over his chest up and down to his abs.
 
  “You should know that it's not a good thing to tease someone so early in the morning.”
 
  I froze and looked up at William with an awkward smile. He is looking down at me with his eyebrows raised.
 
  “I’m sorry. Your skin just felt nice to touch and I couldn't resist the urge to do so.” DID I JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD??? What in goddess's name is wrong with me? I felt like dying from the embarrassment.
 
  But William laughed and pulled my face up to his.
 
  “And yours feels magnificent,” He says as his hand stroked my cheek.
 
  “Thanks for staying last night,” I whispered.
 
  “Anytime baby.”
 
  “Well, I was hoping you want to continue staying here with me for the time we will spend here. If it really is ok?” I am being dared today. Bold and dumb.
 
  William laughed. “If that is what you want, of course, I will.”
 
  I laid on his chest again and he placed his arm around me. It’s so nice just laying here. Do we have to do something else?
 
  “You understand that in the end, we are going to have to get up,” He said. I swear he can read my mind. If I find out later that mates can really read each other’s minds, I’m going to be so mad at him.
 
  “Bridget, are you okay? Your breathing has quickened. I’m getting irritated and he noticed that slightest difference.
 
  “Do you always know everything?” There I go again with the boldness.
 
  “Haha it's only when comes to you,” He replied as he playfully rolled me over to my back. He is leaning over me with his thumb stroking my cheek as he stared into my eyes.
 
  “You know you have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen. I think my favourite colour is now blue because of them,” He said quietly. Then he leaned in for a kiss.
 
   When our lips touch, it felt like two souls colliding. His hand wrapped around my neck gently and pulled me closer to him.  The kiss was gentle at first but then it grew to a deeper and needier one.
 
  He withdrew from the kiss so we could catch our breath before he crashed his lips on mine again. He withdrew again and I whimpered softly in protest.
 
  He kissed my neck and the feeling of his lips on my neck drove me crazy. I couldn't breathe. His mouth finds a spot on my neck and sucked it gently. l, let out a moan. I can feel him chuckling on my neck as I caressed his back drawing him closer to me.
 
   I felt one of his fingers go beneath my shirt and to my side. Just that little skin contact sent shivers down my spine. Then I heard him groan in annoyance. He nuzzled my shoulder and inhaled s. He brings his face closer to mine.
 
  “I want to remain like this with you baby. But Greg just mind-linked me. He and Daniella are downstairs waiting for us. I'm afraid if we don't go out, they will come in,” He laughed at the last part.
 
  I placed my hand on his cheek and looked into his dark eyes before saying.“Well, I can’t get up with you still on top of me.”
 
  “Maybe that’s what I should do,” He says with a mischievous smile.
 
  “If you guys don't come down soon... I don't know what is going to happen but I know Liam is driving me crazy,” Daniella shouted from downstairs. We both chuckled and get up.
