Chapter Eight

Letting Go

I was too frightened to open the rest of the presents. I didn’t know what else Eli had sent me…If anything. Instead, I walked back to Lilly and Marco’s home with Luc while everyone else either went through the gifts or searched for Eli. I shook my head as I tried not to glance over my shoulder at the thought of Eli’s closeness.

I swallowed hard as a tremble shook through me. Though tears clouded my vision, I was numb to everything else until an odd memory from my childhood surfaced, replaying over and over in my mind. My parents were sitting next to each other and my father had lifted my mother’s hand to his lips before pressing them to her ring. Love shined in his eyes.

“Mary Jane,” Luc’s said as his voice shattered the memory and I blinked releasing the tears. His face was fragmented and I blinked again as my vision cleared. His brows drew together as a pained expression crossed his face causing my heart to clench and every bit of feeling rushed through me causing me to hiss with pain.

Luc shook his head, “No,” he said, pulling me to him, “Do not let Eli win. Do not give in to everything he has done.”

A shuttering breath pushed from me as my chin trembled, “I wish he was dead,” I said, through clenched teeth, “I wish I could kill him.”

Luc pressed his lips together and cupped my face, forcing me to gaze into his eyes. His expression was hard as he nodded and said in a firm voice, “One day you’ll be able to do that,” he said as his thumbs rubbed soothing circles over each cheek, “Your parent’s deaths will be avenged.”

With those words, the pain of my parent’s death crashed around me as I grabbed my chest, stepping away from him, “It hurts,” I sobbed, trying to catch my breath but unable to under the crushing sorrow, “It hurts so much.”

Luc’s lips trembled as he stepped toward me and pulled me to him, “Then, don’t focus on the pain,” he said, placing his hands once again on each cheek and tilting my face up to him, “Focus on me.”

I stared up into his eyes as they darkened. My breathing changed, hitching in my throat. I swallowed hard wanting the pain to end and I knew that he was the only one who had the ability to comfort me. I didn’t make the decision. I didn’t think. Instead, I pressed my lips against his.

He didn’t hesitate to return the kiss. He pulled me flush against him. His mouth melded with mine as his teeth nipped my bottom lip. Desire rushed through me, pushing the pain away causing me to experience only him. I should have been worried about being seen. I should have cared that Sophia would be mad but I wasn’t. Instead, I kissed him with abandon fueled by my desperation to rid myself of pain.

I reached up and tangled my hands in his hair pulling him into position.
