CHAPTER 12

Brandon

Anya's ex-partner is unaware of Kira's existence, leading me to believe he doesn't know that she is his daughter.

Strangely enough, this makes me even more curious if she could be mine. I've researched everything possible on conception and have even consulted a doctor friend from my time in the navy force to go over my timeline. All evidence indicates that Kira's age lines up with how old she would be if she was indeed my child. The temptation to find out for sure is strong, but I am hesitant to bring it up with Anya until I am absolutely certain.

It's a delicate subject that could potentially cause more harm than good if not handled carefully. Despite trying to push it out of my thoughts, the question of Kira's paternity lingers in the back of my mind, growing stronger with each passing day. It feels like something unfinished that won't let me rest until I know the truth. If it turns out that she is mine, I would want to be a part of her life, but perhaps I am getting ahead of myself.

“Did you mean it when you said you would kiss me again if you ever got another chance?” Anya’s blue eyes hold mine as she waits for my answer. She hasn’t changed one bit; she’s still just as bold, and her smiles are still just as contagious.

The fact that she's a mother doesn't bother me. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to climb out of this dark place and make something of myself, even if it means competing for her affections. But there's another complication - she used to date Spencer. He wouldn't approve if he knew what I was thinking, but that doesn't stop me from nodding in agreement. "Yes," I respond with a sigh. It's not as straightforward as I hoped it would be.

Anya’s expression softens at my statement. A charming smile takes up the entirety of her beautiful face. “It's okay, Brandon,” she says gently. “I understand how complicated everything is. I’ll forgive you if we ever have that kiss.”

“And if we don’t?” I ask, disregarding the hunch I already have of what her answer might be.

She shrugs. “No forgiveness. Nothing good comes easy.”

My lips curl. I’m more than grateful she’s back to her old playful self. “I think I’ll have to make that kiss happen then.”

A sudden tension seizes my body at those words.

It feels like a sharp crack in my soul, every nerve in my body feels alive with energy, pulsing and vibrating with intensity. My mind races with thoughts and emotions - our lips meeting, the gentle brush of her fingers against my skin, the electric current that pulsed between us. We kissed - a single, fleeting moment that left an incredible mark on my heart. It’s like a part of me that had been caged for so long has finally broken free.

Anya gently grasped my head with both hands, pulling me closer to her. Our kiss is sweet and tender, our breaths entwining as we melt into each other.
