Chapter Twenty-One

Charlotte

I get back to Gabe’s place minutes ahead of him.

I was just starting to worry when the door opened and Gabe came in.

Nick stayed with me the whole time, got me away from the danger and stayed with me to protect me.

“You okay man?” Nick asks Gabe as he walks into the living room.

Gabe’s covered in blood from head to toe, I don’t know how Nick can ask him if he’s okay.

“I’m fine.” Gabe places his hand on Nick’s shoulder and Nick does the same to him. “Thanks for being there little brother. It was a lot to ask when you have a wife and child.”

Another change I didn’t know about. Nick is married with a child. So the blonde woman I saw him with at The Dark Odyssey must have been his wife. That’s why they looked the way they did, in love… and they have a child.

“You know I was going to be there.” Nick nods. “Anything you guys need?”

“I’m good.” Gabe gives him a pat on his back. “We’re okay.”

“Call me if there’s any trouble.”

He leaves us.

Gabe watches me and I find myself staring into the depths of his eyes. My soul shivers when I think of what could have happened tonight, getting sucked into a mad man’s game.

“Are … you okay?” My voice trembles beyond my control.

He moves closer to me and presses his forehead to mine for a few brief seconds.

“I’m okay.”

“Is …he dead?” I have to ask because of all the blood.

“No, it was hard not killing him.”

“He won’t stop there.”

“I know, but we’re not going to worry about that.”

“What if –” He stops me with a kiss, the kind of kiss to make my body melt and give in to how badly I want him. He stops kissing me the moment we get going though. Too soon, and instantly I crave more of his lips on mine.

He backs off his bloodied jacket and shirt, allowing it to fall to the ground and shuffles out of his pants and shoes just leaving on his boxers.

I scan over his body, battered and bruised all over, but nothing detracts from the masterpiece he is.

He goes to the table in the corner, grabs some tissues from the Kleenex box and wipes off his hands. As his gaze settles back on me, I look him over and see before me everything I’ve ever wanted.

I don’t see the danger of our world, or the threats always lurking in the background.

I just see him.

Gabriel Giordano.

Gabe.

The man I fell for at hello. The man I knew was mine when I first looked at him.

It’s the same look now and it scares me, the power in it scares me to my core because I see something I want so badly and I don’t know if I can have it.

I don’t know if I can have him.

Today’s events could have fanned the flames for something else entirely. Something as bad as ten years ago, but I want this with him.

I want this month with him and I want to live it the way I would if all the shit wasn’t happening.
