One of my hands moves to her hair and the other goes around her waist dragging her even closer to me. Her body is plastered to mine, her lips glued to mine.

I get caught up in the taste and feel of her.

Her hands go to the hem of my shirt and slide underneath it, I groan at the feel of her warm hands on my stomach. She inches her hands up over my abs, dragging my shirt up with each caress. When her hands reach my pecs, the foggy feeling I had in my head goes away. I grab her for arms and pull her hands away from my body. My shirt slides back into place and I keep her far enough away that I can look into her eyes.

"Rory?"

In her eyes want and excitement swirl in her eyes like a campfire on a breezy day.

"I want you, Cage," Rory says her voice full of need.

Need for me.

"Are you sure Aurora?"

She nods her head and I dip mine down to lock our lips back together. Her hands find their way back underneath my shirt and she drags it up until I have no choice but to break the kiss and remove it. The second it's off my body my lips go crashing back to hers. My tongue tangles with hers, and she moans. I run my hands over curves reaching the bottom of her breast, groaning when my thumbs brush the undersides of them. Instead of dragging my hands up further to fully touch them, I bring my hands to her back, finding the zipper of her dress.

I slowly slide the zipper down, in case Rory wants to stop me, she doesn't try.

When the zipper is undone all the way she steps back from hooking her thumbs under the thin straps of her dress and starts to drag them down her shoulders. I catch sight of her strapless lacy dark grey bra, making me momentarily stop breathing.

I don't take my eyes away from her actions, I don't think I could even if I wanted to.

The dress slips off her body and pools up around her feet, and she steps out of it.

"Wow."

Rory blushes at my words and tucks some of her hair back behind her ear while looking down at her feet. I close the distance she put between of in less than two seconds and place my hands on her cheeks. I tilt her head back up so her sugar grey eyes meet my gray-blue gaze.

"You're beautiful Rory. Don't hide those of eyes yours away from me please."

"Okay," She leans into my right hand, keeping her eyes locked on mine.

"Are you sure about this Rory?"

"Yes," That breathy agreement is all I need.

My hands fall away from her cheeks and glide over her waist, to her hips, and finally land on the back of her thighs. I lift her and she squeals, not expecting that, her legs go around my waist and her finger thread through my hair. She leans down and kisses me, biting my bottom lip not hard enough to break the skin, earning her a growl from me. She soothes the sting by running her tongue across my bottom lip.

I walk us over to the queen-sized bed in the middle of the hotel room. I put one knee on the bed before bending down and laying her down on the bed.

Rory undoes the button on my jeans, then slides the zipper down. Grabbing a condom out of my wallet before I discard my jeans, now we're both only in our underwear. I'm nervous yet not at the same time.

She has this way of making me feel scared yet comfortable at the same time.

I never thought this day would come,
was starting to be okay with that.

Now that she's here lying underneath me looking up at me with trusting eyes, I know that tonight is going to be the best night of my life.

I'm lying next to Rory with the comforter covering both of us. Her eyes are closed, a relaxed look on her face as she sleeps peacefully. I gently caress her cheek, careful to not wake her, I smile when she subconsciously leans into my touch.

My eyelids are starting to grow heavy and I yawn. I'm not ready to fall asleep yet I want to spend more time soaking her up in this calm state. I scoot closer to her wrapping one arm around her midsection, with one more look at her the world falls away.

It couldn't have been more than an hour later when I'm woken up by the blaring sound of my phone going off.

I'm thinking of ignoring it when what ring tone is playing breaks through my sleep fog.

Believer by Imagine Dragons.

My twin brother Catch's ring tone.

The call goes to voice mail and starts to ring again not even thirty seconds later.

I untangle myself from Rory careful to not wake her up. I grab my phone off a nightstand where I set it at some point last night or today. I answer it and walk over towards the bathroom, so I don't wake Rory up.

Who knows how this talk will go. My brother Catch is unpredictable, I never know the reason for why he calls me. Not only that our parents don't know that I still talk to him. He got sent to boarding school when he was eight, he was always doing something he shouldn't have been. That didn't change as we got older he got worse and started hanging out with a pretty bad crowd. Our parents finally having enough of him cut him off a year ago and suggested I didn't speak to Catch anymore. More like demanded I not.

He's my twin brother I couldn't just not speak to him ever again.

"Hello?"

"Cage! You have to help me!"

I wince at his loud voice but quickly go into big brother fix the problem mode.

"What happened?"

"They are gonna kill me if I don't pay them back!"

My eyes widened in alarm after Catch said they'll kill him. Gosh, Catch what have you done now?

"Start from the beginning Catch," I run my hand through my hair in frustration I should still be in bed snuggled up next to Rory not trying to fix my brother's problems again.

"I needed the money...for something so borrowed some from these guys. I thought I would be able to pay them back in time! They want their money by noon tomorrow or they will kill me!"

"Why didn't you just ask me for money Catch?!" I whisper yell, feeling my blood heat from suppressed anger.

"Like you would have loaned me the money," Catch seethes.

For the longest time, I thought my twin was the only real family I had. He and I have been together since before birth. Our parents never understood us and our sister sure as hell didn't either. We were just pests to her, I can't remember a time when she acted like a big sister. Now though with how different Catch is from how we were as kids, I feel like I don't even know him anymore.

"I would have Catch cause you're my brother. How much do you owe?"

"Three grand."

I spew a bunch of different variations of curse words. Probably cursing worse than any sailor.

"Three fucking grand Catch?! The fuck were you thinking borrowing that much money?!"

I can almost feel Catch's anger through the phone. I know it's pissing him off that I didn't just agree instantly to give him the money and just say oh yeah that's not a problem. I'm pissed off too I was perfectly content sleeping next to the girl of my dreams not even ten minutes ago. Now I'm awake and dealing with this!

"Are you going to help me or not?"

Of course, I am. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if our parents got a call stating that Catch was dead. I would feel guilty knowing that could have done something to prevent that from happening yet didn't.

"You know I will Catch. Now, where are you?"

"Uh...Seattle Washington."

I just sigh and tell him I'm on my way before hanging up the phone. I walk out of the room and quickly gather up all my clothes and put them on. My eyes roam over Rory still fast sleep. I feel a pain in my heart having to leave after finally just having her in my arms. I can't leave without leaving a note I walk over to the desk that's in the corner,grabbing a pen and the notepad. I write her a note then rip the piece of paper I wrote on off the pad and place it where I was sleeping.

Sugar,

Something really important came up I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. I didn't want to wake you up you just looked so peaceful sleeping. Here's my number call me I really want to see you again.

      - Cage

I take one last look at Rory, before I leave to rescue my brother.
