Janey shook her head, pulling back from him. “Let me go.”

“I can’t let you go.” He cupped the side of her face and lifted it, touched his lips to hers. “Janey, you might walk away from me, but I’ll never let you go.” His eyes stared into hers, and inside, she felt that secret, hungry part of herself open again, gasping, grasping for any part of him she could get.

“And I have no choice but to accept that,” she said hollowly. “Because you’re right, Alex. I do love you.

I love you so much I can’t bear what I’m doing to both of us now. If I could walk away and take all the danger with me, I’d do that. Because I hate myself for this. I hate myself for being here. And I hate knowing you’re in danger because of me.” She jerked away from him, forcing him to release her. “But you’d follow.”

“I’d follow,” he said quietly. “To the ends of the earth, Janey, I’d follow you.”

She glanced over at him, drying her face. She hated crying. She hated the sense of helplessness, of hopelessness, that it filled her with.

“Do you know how to love babies, Alex?” she whispered then. “Am I supposed to accept that you can’t love at all? Or just that you can’t love me?”

She touched her stomach, wondering. Hating herself because she loved him too much, and she knew it.

She loved him with everything inside her soul. And he didn’t know how to love.

“Watch you touch your stomach, Janey,” he said gently, “as though already imagining our child there. Do you think for a moment that you and that baby won’t fill my world?”

“Babies need to hear I love you .” Her chin shook as she tried not to cry anymore. “Even from their fathers.”

What the hell was he supposed to say? Alex stared back at her, suddenly feeling an edge of helplessness.

He couldn’t explain to her what he felt for her, what he felt at the thought of having children with her.

Holding their child. Seeing both of them in a new life they had created.

His throat locked up at the thought of trying to explain it, tightened with emotion he didn’t know how to describe. This wasn’t what he had heard love described as. This wasn’t what he had seen love to be. He wanted to protect her, yet he wanted to watch her be herself. He wanted to surround her in security, and at the same time, he thrived on the flashes of independence he saw within her.

“Teach me how to love, Janey.”

He watched the surprise that filled her face, the shock.

“Alex, you don’t just teach someone how to love,” she said miserably.

She didn’t know how much her pain struck at him, how it destroyed him. Seeing her eyes so filled with shadows and hurt enraged him.

“Why not?” he asked her then. “You have a man willing to give you his life if it will protect you from a single scratch, a single tear.
