Dante

I had been at her all day and night. Once the fire lit there was no looking back. I didn't know how I was supposed to leave but I was leaving all the same. "What are you thinking." I ask her. She is laying on my chest and the moonlight through the window is all the light in the room. I have been stroking my hand up and down her spine for the last hour.

"That I want to be here and that's all. I know this isn't lasting so I want to be content."

I say what I wish I wouldn’t but have too. "And when I leave…"

"Can we turn back?"

I shake my head no and the room falls silent again. I do it, I toy with the notion of keeping this and still being Dante Kole back home. My club wouldn’t care, silence is sacred in that brotherhood and I know I can use work for travel.

I don't voice my thoughts though. I don't want her hopes up and then leave her thinking she's a side piece. "Are you going to go to Washington luv?" I ask and hope she will, hope I gave her enough to go and capture the world in her palm.

She shrugs and I know she wants to run, but she won't she will fight because she won't lose face with me. "I have to." She props herself on her elbows and looks at me with a sweet smile. "I have people in Washington that will help me get strength."

We are silent again and I still stroke her back and wish for anything to keep the moon up so I don't have to leave her yet. "What are you thinking D?"

I should say nothing. I should tell her that I am tired, but I won't leave her in the distance again. "That I wish time would stop. I wish shit was different." I roll to my side and kiss her gently on her forehead.

"This is our goodbye isn't it?" She doesn’t sound sad as she asks what we both know the answer to.

"Yeah luv." I answer, my voice harsh in the silence of the night. I tuck her hair behind her ear and kiss her soft, too soft.

She nods and closes her eyes, tucking her chin into her chest and curling in to me. I welcome her body and hold her as close as I can. If a touch could relay a message, she would know how much she means to me. She would know that my heart beats for her and that there is nobody who will ever effect me like her. I know that Jess and I are destined to fail, because one day she will realize I have never looked at her the way I do Emjay. In that moment she will know that we were meant to have Rayen, not love. My curse for loving a woman outside of my marriage is the life I pretend to live, one where I am forever reminded that Emjay isn't mine.
