Friday night couldn't come fast enough, but when it does I am suddenly nervous. I eagerly wait by the window for Killian, I hope he still comes to see me. Tensions are running higher than ever between the families. I know tonight that the boys were gearing up for a fight. They are all on edge and I don't know what will become of our family if they continue on fighting.

Around midnight Killian appears at the tree below my window. I release a sigh, not knowing how he made it here and not really caring how he did. He nods towards the back door and walks that direction.

I slip downstairs, hoping to not make a sound. Not seeing a soul I make it to the back door. I open it slowly and Killian slips in. He kisses me briefly on the cheek and I can see the longing and lust in his eyes. I take his hand and we walk silently up to my room.

As the door shuts he wraps me in his arms. I gently curl my face into his uninjured shoulder. I look up into his electric blue eyes.

"How's your shoulder doing?" I ask softly.

"I've had worse. There's no need to worry about me, Princess."

"I always worry about you," I sigh. I try to back up, but he holds me in his arms. He puts his hand on the back of my head and pulls me close to him. His lips crash down on mine. I kiss him back, my fingers curling through his jet black hair. There is an urgency in this kiss. This kiss is everything we've left unsaid. I can feel my heart racing in my chest. I have never felt like this with anyone before.

His hands slide down my body. He grabs my hips and pulls me as close to him as possible. My hands slide out of his hair and rest on the back of his neck. His thumbs tap my hips, in response I hop up and wrap my legs around his waist. Killian breaks from the kiss and my eyes snap open. In his I immediately see lust and longing. In this moment, and every moment with him, I want him. I can see something is stopping, no holding, him back. I don't know what it is. My hand moves to his cheek and I rest my forehead against his.

"Stay with me tonight?" I ask, unsure of what his answer will be. His face falls, knowing his answer I slide down and stand on my own two feet again. He grabs my waist and pulls close.

"Please don't think it is because I don't want to because I do. We both know that I wouldn't make to the morning if I did," he sighs. I nod, knowing that what he says is true.

"I know, I just wish," I say looking into his eyes. He pulls me into soft, slow kiss. I can feel all the passion and love he puts into it. With each kiss and touch I melt into his arms. We walk backwards slowly until the back of my legs hit the bed. I pull back knowing what would happen if we were to continue onto the bed. I rest my head on his shoulder and he clears his throat. I look up into his electric blue eyes.

"There is something we need to talk about," he says seriously.

"Alright. What is going on?" My hands slide down to my sides.

"Please be careful. My family is going to trying something. Please just be with someone all the time," he warns with this worry in his eyes.

"What does that mean? Killian what is your family doing?" I ask, searching his face for an answer.

"I can't go into details, but it's going to be bad. I need you to be careful. Please just do this for me," he pleads.

"Alright I promise, but you have to tell me why," I say looking for a way to put distance between us, but I am stuck between him and the bed.

"Emma, can you just do this for me? No questions?" He says as he steps back and runs it through his hair. He's getting more agitated.

"No, I want to know why. If this about me, I deserve to know," I demand.

"I can't tell you," he says not even looking at me. I can tell he's upset and something is stopping him, but I don't know what.

"Well you're trying to warn me about something, but I don't know what it is. Killian, if you want me to be careful tell me what I need to look for," I am the one pleading now.

"I can't tell you because I am caught between two things I love," he says exhausted.

"Two things you love?" I cross my arms confused.

"My family and you. How am I supposed to choose between the two of you?" he whispers. My jaw drops and he realizes what he has said.

"You love me?" I ask surprised.

"That is what you got from that? Of course I love you. I wouldn't risk my life for someone who doesn't matter to m-" before he can finish I wrap my arms around him and kiss him passionately. I put everything I am not ready to say yet into this kiss. Because the truth is I love him, but I don't know how to say it. I pull out of the kiss and take a step back. He looks taken aback and pulls me back into his arms.

"Don't think you are not off the hook yet. Killian please tell me what's going to happen," I ask him.

"Emma, they want to kidnap you and use you against your father," he says with guilt written across his face. I feel my jaw drop. I knew what was coming was going to be big, but I never expected this.
