Chapter 13

Josh

I’ve been lying here for hours, replaying the events of the night. Emily cried herself to sleep in my arms. Her rest has been unsettled, plagued with constant stirring. My hand mindlessly runs up and down her back in attempts to soothe her, to calm her. For the first time, I’m guilt-ridden after ending another’s life.

I’m not sorry for killing Whitney. The bitch deserved it. No, I don’t feel guilty over her. I feel like shit because I lost control and let Emily see me do something so horrendous. It’s one thing for her to know I’m capable or even willing to do such a thing, but it’s completely different for her to witness me in the act.

I’m shocked she’s still here. I’m so afraid that she’s going to wake up and what I did will suddenly sink in. She’s going to see how too-fucking-good for me she is, and she’s going to want to disappear again. I’ve never been afraid of anything like I am of losing Emily, of having her fear me.

I’ve made so much progress with getting her to trust in me. To trust that I’m not ever going to hurt her like she has been. How can I expect her to trust that fact after what she saw?

It’s almost dawn. I’m running on no sleep and I have to go into the fucking office in two hours. I haven’t told Emily about the emails or threats.

Until yesterday, I didn’t think too much of them. They were disturbing and fucking pissed me off. It wasn’t until I saw the evidence left behind of what that sick fuck is capable of that I got scared. That I grasped how real the threat to Emily is. How am I meant to leave her side, knowing that some sick fucker is out to get her? Knowing exactly what he will do if he does get to her?

What I don’t understand is the why. Why the fuck is he so hell-bent on getting his hands on Emily? The sooner I pinpoint the connection and determine what he wants, the sooner I can plan how to draw him out and erase the fucking prick.

“Mmm, did you sleep at all?” I look down into the depths of Emily’s blue eyes staring up at me.

“A little,” I lie.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know how to tell you how sorry I am,” she says. I wish she would get it through her head that she doesn’t need to be fucking sorry for shit.

“Emmy, you have nothing to apologize for.” Leaning down, I connect my lips with hers. The moment I do, all my worries get pushed to the back of my mind, my thoughts clear. The only focus is the feel of Emily’s soft, plump lips on mine. The sparks that ignite throughout my body. Her scent all around me. I drown in all that is Emily as soon as our lips connect.

Emily pulls away from the kiss. I can’t help but pout at her. I want those delicious lips.
