ELIJAH

The way she looks at me leaves me in a state of perpetual awe. I hadn't wanted to admit it, but I know she is my soulmate. Our soulmate. I need her with an intensity that is almost tangible. I need her with a force that seems to be drawing me in like a tide, a force that is compelling me to ask her if I can hold her, even though I know that I shouldn't.

She still belongs to someone else. Even though I need her desperately, I know I can’t have her. If I ask to move into her personal space, I’m setting myself up for heartbreak that I know will finish me. I will never get over it if I make myself vulnerable to her and she ends up back with her husband. I cannot allow myself to be the one who crosses the line.

Something deep within my heart stirs, begging me to tell her that we will wait for her, to tell her that my heart is open to her when she is ready to come to us.

She blinks. Her eyes glisten with unshed tears. Deep down, I think she knows everything I want to say but can’t. She knows that our hearts are beating in the same rhythm and that we feel something between us that is so much more than physical. We both know this is fate, and we are destined to be together. But how? How can I say any of this when she is still wearing her wedding ring?

“We lost them,” Dylan pants returning to the room with epically lousy timing.

He pauses in the doorway when he sees me on my knees, gripping Morgan’s feet.

I rip my gaze away from hers and stand up. “Excuse me?” I snap, my irritation made worse by the heartbreak tearing its way through my body. I can feel heaven within my grasp. My heart beats knowing I’m in the presence of the one.

“Lost them,” Dylan mutters, his gaze on Morgan. “You can’t stay here. If they come back and you’re alone...”

“I have nowhere else to go,” she whispers, her eyes still on me.

I know I should offer. They are expecting me to. But how can I be in the same house with her when she isn't ready for us? How will I stay away from her?

You don’t, fucking arsehole. Take her.

Grimacing at the inner thoughts that are urging me to make a choice that I will only end up regretting, Dylan does it for me.

“You will stay with us,” he says, glaring at me. “I’ll pack your stuff up while you get a shower if you feel up to it?”

I gaze at her. She lowers her eyes and nods. I stop the groan that threatens to come out. It will make it seem like I don’t want her there. I do, so I know she is safe, but where does that leave us? Any of us?

“Stop thinking and move,” Dylan mutters as he pushes past me.

Nodding dumbly, I take orders from my teammate.
