Chapter 42
NIKOLAI
I don’t want to let go of her. I don’t want to pull my dick out as I fear this could very well be the last time I get to have this slice of heaven with her.
But, reluctantly, I do.
She pushes herself up and turns to face me, make-up streams down her face, and she has that beautiful red flush that makes my cock twitch again.
I swallow past the lump in my throat as we stare into each other’s eyes, everything that has been left unspoken between us weighing down heavily on me.
And I think she knows it too.
“Well, did it work? Did you fuck yourself out of love with me?”
She pushes her wet hair out of her face and I can see she’s holding back the tears.
I step forward, gripping her marked throat. “Far from it.”
As I release her, her chest rises and falls rapidly. There is fear in her eyes and my nostrils flare.
It isn’t hate I feel for her, the rage burning inside me is for whoever is hurting her.
“You we’re right.”
Her eyes flick to mine and I run a hand across my jaw.
“I could never stop loving you. Which only gives us one option now…” I trail off and she tips her head to the side, crossing her arms over her chest.
“The truth. I know.” She whispers.
Tipping her chin up to me, I nod.
“All of it. Let me in, baby. Whatever it is, we can fix this. Together.”
I pull her against my chest, stroking her cheek.
This woman was meant to be in my arms. I will fight for this and the answers I deserve.
Maybe, there is a chance we can make Elena happy together. A chance of a family again.
That is what led me here, back to her. I can’t let her go.
No matter what I do, I can’t cage my heart off to her, it doesn’t work.
