SAM'S POV

The early morning light woke me up. I rolled on my side and looked at the woman beside me. She was on her stomach with her head towards me, her scarred side facing up. She never looked more beautiful to me than she did in that moment.

I heard birds singing outside and chuckled quietly, rolling on my back and putting my hands behind my head. The whole world seemed to be singing. God, I was turning into a sap. But hell, I felt like singing myself I was so happy. My body tingled all over as I remembered the night before. Everything had been so incredible. I heard a soft laugh and looked over to see Emily's dancing eyes looking back at me.

"Well, you're looking pretty pleased with yourself." Emily said, smiling widely.

"I am pleased. Last night was great." I replied, rolling over on my side again. "What about for you?"

"It was fine," she answered, before putting her head into the pillow, giggling.

"Fine...Fine!" I growled, before grabbing her and rolling her on her back so that I could lean over her.

"Alright, it was wonderful, stupendous, magnificent. Is that good enough?"

"Better, much better." I laughed, then looked down at her flushed face and asked, "It wasn't too hot for you, was it?"

Emily's eyes widened in disbelief and I quickly explained what I meant.

"I mean, with my body temperature being what it is, it wasn't uncomfortable or anything, was it?"

"It was perfect," she whispered, reaching up to grab my neck, bringing my mouth down to her lips.

I gently pressed my body against hers, my mouth briefly touching her lips, before moving down to nibble on her neck. She threw her head back and I felt one of her legs begin to wrap around my thigh.

"Sam?" A male voice called out.

I jumped and Emily looked back at me with horror dawning in her eyes.

"Sam" It was Jared. I sighed as I leaned down next to Emily so that my forehead was on the pillow next to her ear.

"I can't believe this," I whispered and she giggled.

Just then, Jared burst into the room. Emily shrieked and quickly drew the sheet over her head as I jerked away from her. If it weren't for the fact that I was naked and not in the position to jump out of bed, I would have cheerfully throttled Jared.

"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" I yelled. Jared looked at me and blinked. He looked like he was on something. I frowned and asked, "Are you high?"

It took him a moment to focus on my face, before shaking his head as though he were trying to snap out of whatever was wrong with him.

"I don't know what happened to me. I broke up with Shelley last night at the bonfire. She got really drunk and started making out with this guy. I told her we were through and I moved to the bonfire down at the beach and that was when I saw her and Sam, I think I'm in love."

"Jared, you're in love with a new girl every week," I replied sarcastically and heard a snicker from beneath the sheet next to me. So did Jared, who frowned in that direction. It was in that moment that Emily poked her head out to see Jared before covering herself again.
