The hours had passed, Lyss still felt arms around her waist. She knew it could only be one person, she turned around ready to say good morning. Yet, the face was not Joes. It was Jax, his eyes shot open and he immediately grabbed her. She fought and screamed to get away.

Only to hear another voice breaking through. Her own eyes shot open, she sobbed harshly only to be cooed by a familiar voice.

"It's okay Lyss, whatever it was is over. I'm here"

Lyss buried herself deeper into Joes embrace. As Joe rubbed her back. She then felt him get up and leave the bed they were both entangled in. Why was he leaving her? Where was he going? She sobbed harder knowing he was gone now. She sat up shaking, afraid.

Only to hear footsteps come back towards the room.

"I'm right here baby girl. I didn't leave" he said as he handed her a bottle of water.

She took a sip as Joe rubbed her arms. She didn't know why, but she felt that she needed him. She was more surprised that he didn't leave when she fell asleep. He only moved her from the couch to the bed.

Deep down Lyss was sexually frustrated, and having Joe in her bed didn't make that any better. Her eyes traced over his body in the moon light. She felt ashamed that she mentally began to undress Joe in her head.

This was something she never did, she never saw a man and thought these thoughts. Quite frankly, she was terrified to think about any man after what she went through.

Joe caught her eyes roaming his body. He was a bit turned on by this. A beautiful woman, hungry for him. He could tell what was going through her head, yet he didn't say much. He watched as her eyes ended at the bulge in his pants. Her eyes widened at his sheer size. Even in the bit of moonlight there was, she could see all of it.

Joe decided he should speak up, so he spoke softly not to startle her.

"Everything okay Lyss?"

Lyss snapped back to reality, her eyes meeting his. She began to speak.

"Uh- uh yeah. I'm okay." She said shyly with a small smile.

Joe let out a soft laugh. "See something you like babygirl?" He said, noticing her eyes wondering again.

Immediately her face flushed with embarrassment. She couldn't believe she let him see her practically fucking him with her eyes. Her head fell with the embarrassment she felt. She could only spit out a few words before feeling her tears falling.

"Joe, I'm so sorry." She said as a single tear fell.

"For what? You don't have to be sorry. I know I'm a package any woman would wanna open." He said, trying to get a giggle, smile or any type of reaction from the woman. He began trying to get her to stop crying. He hated watching her cry. A woman like her should never have tears in her eyes. If anything, she deserved to be treated like a queen. Funny, beautiful, great body, a complete sweetheart. She was the woman any man would fight for.

He spoke again after wiping her face.

"Do you think I haven't scanned your body before? I stare at you every chance I get." He said trying to make her feel better about the situation.

She smiled a bit, with a small chuckle to what the giant man had said to her. She spoke through her tears.

"Yeah, but you don't get caught. I did... I made it weird.." she looked down hoping she didn't look like a fool.

"Baby girl, if it makes you feel better... I - uh.." he had to get his words together so that he didn't look like the fool.

"I stare a lot harder then you did. When you wear shorts, my eyes are constantly on your ass. Tank tops? I'm definitely trying to keep my eyes off of your boobs. Yet I also look at you when you laugh and smile. When you eat... You're such an amazing woman.." he let out a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. Hoping he made her feel better, not worst.

She immediately looked into his eyes, she felt at ease with the situation at that point. She actually felt good knowing she could grab this mans attention the way he claimed. She wanted to find out more before making any moves.

"So, my body isn't the only thing you want?" She asked quietly.

Joe stared into her eyes before giving his answer. He had started to get a fire inside him for this woman. He wanted her in more ways then just sex, yet how could he show her? What words could he say that wouldn't make him look crazy.

Finally, Joe cleared his throat and spoke.

"Absolutely not Lyss. I've been through it all too, I don't want just some sex toy. I want something more. I want someone who I can wake up to, have children with, live my life with, ya know? I know you think I'm a shitty person for things I've said.. but-"

Before Joe could finish speaking , he felt Lyss push her lips onto his. He had no idea which part of what he said caused this, but he wasn't going to complain.

Lyss felt Joes arms rope around her tightly, as his tongue begged for entrance at her lips.

She allowed her tongue to dance with Joes. As she slowly moved her hand down to his manhood. She felt him through his pants, her body shaking at his size.

Suddenly, Joe completely pulled away and stared into her eyes.

"Lyss, are you sure you want this? I don't want to ruin things between us." He didn't want her feeling like this is why he cuddled with her, and treated her well during her hard moments earlier. He wanted her to actually want this, not give it up because she had the urge for sex.

"Joe, I want this... You, more then you'll ever know. She said getting closer to him.

"Do you want any of this?" She asked quietly...

Joe looked into her eyes and spoke.

"I want you, and this, baby girl... I'm gonna give you this and so much more"
