Regina stood underneath the spray of the shower letting the tears flow down her face. It hurt to hear him say that he hadn’t planned on telling her when the press conference was going to be, which meant that he didn’t want her to be there. She guessed that told her how important she was to him and where she stood in his life.

When he slipped his arms around her waist her body stiffened automatically and she tried to force her body to ignore his, but her body never listened where he was concerned.

Ethan felt her stiffen against him and he knew that he had to make it right between them or he’d lose the best thing that had ever happened to him. “I’m sorry baby, I know what I said hurt you and that wasn’t my intention. I only said that because I’ve never needed anyone in my life until you and this need for you in my life is so new to me that it scares me. I not only want you at the press conference with me, but I need you to be there with me…for me to support me. I need you there more than I need my family there and that scares the hell out of me.” She turned to face him and his heart broke at seeing her eyes red and puffy from crying.

“Oh baby please forgive me for allowing my fear to push you away, I was too afraid that you’d choose the kids over me.” He confessed kissing away the tears.

Staring into his eyes she saw the stark fear there and it broke her heart, he’d never had to depend on or lean on anyone and the first time he needs to he was afraid that she would turn her back on him. She cupped his face in her hands, “Let’s get something straight right here and now, nothing and no one is more important to me than you and I don’t care what I’m doing or who I’m with if you need me I will always be there for you because you are my first priority.”

“I don’t deserve you, but I’m damn lucky to have you in my life and I promise to give you cause to cry only happy tears from this night forward.”

Ethan lay holding her in his arms as she slept. It felt so right and he made a promise to himself that he wouldn’t allow anyone or anything to come between them, not even his fear. She was made for him, his heart and body knew it the moment that they’d met, but his mind was just a little slow in accepting it. Letting out a contented sigh, he buried his face in her silky mass of hair that smelled of strawberries and cream as he finally allowed himself to drift off to sleep.
