Chapter Ten

Logan

She’ll get over it. She needs more time. I don’t know how many times I told myself that on the drive back here. The thing is, I’ve wasted too much time by not coming forward in the first place, and I’ll be goddamned if I let her leave and lose more.

For years, blame has beaten me down. There were times where it gave me nowhere to hide, nowhere to go except to skid its way with a screeching halt into my mind.

It’s twisted my gut. Churned it so many times I’ve lost count. It’s a day-to-day reminder of how it’s colored my soul ugly, turned me into a man who has shut down all my other emotions just to enjoy the fact, that, at any given moment, it can return with a vengeance. To obliterate me and destroy me until I self-destruct.

I won’t stop blaming myself the same as Ellie will never forget what happened. That doesn’t mean we don’t deserve to be happy or that I’ll let the people, who did her wrong get away with what they did.

I could play dirty and tell her Shadow will come for her. I could make her aware of Rocco’s contact. I could tell her all kinds of shit that would make her more frightened of Shadow than she is. All of it would be the truth, but until I know what the hell is going on, I’m keeping it to myself.

Ellie is my weakness; the woman who has cured my soul, the only one who can bring me to my knees and get my head spinning out of control.

Palm wide open, I lift my hand to the stubble covering my jaw, trying to decide what topic to start with first: Shadow or me and her.

I know what one I want to start with, but it would be wrong, and I won’t wrong Ellie again.

“Whether you trust me or not, you’re not alone anymore when it comes to Shadow, Ellie. I’m here, and I’m not going to let him get to you. You have five months, Ellie before he gets out, don’t let the fear consume the here and now.”

She wraps her arms around herself as if she’s trying to hold herself together and not fall apart. I should be holding her. She should be falling and leaning on me when she’s down and broken.

“What if something happens to you, Norah, or someone else?”

I shake my head. There she goes again worrying about someone else. That is the best part of her beautiful soul.

“That’s not going to happen, Ellie.” There’s no need to elaborate on security. She knows we have men keeping an eye on everyone she cares about.

Desire to touch urges me closer to her. I lean in until I’m practically covering her tight body, those eyes I want as close to mine as they can get so she can see the truth in mine. Testing, I slide my fingertips down the side of her face and cup her jaw.

Natural beauty.
