Chapter 24
Sawyer
I knew I wasnât going to like what I heard, but I went there anyway. Now, as the full horror of Millieâs story hits me, I wish I was anywhere but here right now. I want to take off, ride off into the hills and never return because I canât deal with what sheâs told me. But I canât leave her now. She needs me and god help me, I need her too. Nothing has changed about how I feel for this woman; this strong, brave, beautiful woman, who has done nothing wrong but be a victim of heartless men who have used her over and over again.
Struggling to remain calm, I see the hurt and pain in her eyes. She thinks Iâm disgusted at her. She thinks Iâm angryâat her. Iâm not. The pain I feel in my heart is directed at my family. The anger, the hurt, the betrayal, is a powerful force right now and if anything, itâs them I feel ashamed of. I know Millie is innocent and hasnât a clue why sheâs even here. Sheâs just determined to help her family and feels a failure. She wonât fail. I wonât fail and together, we will bring an end to this.
Struggling to maintain control, I drop to my knees before her and take her hands in mine. Staring deep into her eyes, I say gruffly, âI meant what I said. I claim you, Millie. Your problem is my problem and Iâm not going away and together we will make it right. Youâre not on your own anymore and neither am I. If thatâs what you want, of course.â
From somewhere a smile makes its way out of the darkness and I love the light that shines in her eyes as her breath hitches and I see how much my words mean to her.
âYou still want me?â
Her voice shakes as if she canât believe it and I nod. âIf youâll have me.â
She nods shyly, and an understanding passes between us. No declaration of love and no promises outside of the most important one. We belong together and will work out the details later.
Somehow, we move at the same time and our lips connect. Softly, with a hesitation that makes it feel like a dream. As I feel those lips tremble against mine, itâs like the most powerful drug.
She gasps and moans against my lips as I deepen the kiss and fist her hair, pulling her closer, so close, it feels as if I want to swallow her whole just to keep her with me forever.
Reaching down, I lift her top and dispose of it quickly before she does the same to me. Kneeling before her, I push her back on the bed and slowly remove her jeans until she trembles before me in nothing but a silk pair of panties. I remove my own jeans and pull her toward me and dip my head to taste the honey I see staining her panties and as I rip them down, she gasps as I taste the woman I am so desperate to make mine.
