Chapter Nineteen

ADAM

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

I try to catch her before she arrives at her bedroom door, but she’s inside with the door locked before I can reach her. She is lucky Sophie is in there or I’d be banging on it like a lunatic.

“Isabel, please. Everything will be alright.” I beg through the door.

I can hear her sobbing quietly, so I lean my head on the door as I continue to speak.

“Isabel, I’ve never wanted anyone more than I want you right this very moment. You’re beautiful, inside, and out, but I don’t want to hurt you. I want everything to be perfect, for you to have no regrets or fear when we are together. I will wait until the end of time for you to feel safe enough to give yourself to me, he took that from you. It should be something that you give freely to the person that you love. I can wait, even if it takes forever.”

As the words come out of my mouth, I can feel them down to my bones. I love this beaten and broken woman with all my heart. What started out as just a way to save an abused woman and her little girl has turned into more than I ever dreamed of.

The door flies open, I barely have time to brace myself on the doorframe to stop from falling in. Once I regain my balance, I look up to see Isabel standing in the doorway, eyes ablaze with emotions. She has never been more beautiful, skin splotchy from crying. I reach out to place my hand on her cheek, she attempts to take a step away, but I follow her.

“Isabel, what’s wrong?” I ask confused.

“What’s wrong? I will tell you what’s wrong. I came to you, to share part of myself with you because I care about you, but I can’t seem to get Jason out of my head. Can’t you see I’m broken?” Her voice begins to break, as she crumbles to the floor before my eyes. Unable to resist, I fall to the floor with her. “I’ll never be able to show you how much you are beginning to mean to me. What kind of woman can’t express her feelings for a man through intimacy?” Sobs wrack her body as she clings to my body.

“You. Are. Not. Broken. Do you understand me? You are one of the strongest women I know, after my own mother.” I pull away from her, so I can see her face. Her down casted eyes are too much for me to bear, I gently lift her chin, “This is a natural response, it will take time before you will be able to be intimate with another male. You have nothing but time to figure all of this out, whether it be with me or someone else.”

Isabel whispers, “What if I’m never ready?”

“Then we will never be together in that way. Isabel, I wasn’t lying when I said I’d always be here for you and Sophie.
