He takes in a deep breath, his chest expanding, then he slowly releases it. “Yes, Little Fawn. I stayed behind because of you.”
Me. He stayed. For me.
Mac leans over, soft lips pressing against my temple. “Take a nap. I’ll wake you when the food’s ready.”
“I, uh . . . I have feelings for you. I like you. A lot.” More than a lot, but I’m not ready to voice that just yet.
“Me too.”
His words take a moment to sink in, but when they do, the weight bearing down on me since this whole ordeal began ebbs away like a calm, receding tide.
It’s been just us for a little under four years, and while Mac’s always been watching over me, taking care of me, I’m the dumbass who never returned the favor, never took the time to really get to know him, to check in on him and make sure he was ok.
Otherwise, I might have figured out sooner he liked me too.
But now I know, and if the jerk thinks he’s going to shut me out he’s dead wrong. I’m his Little Fawn and he’s my bear.
I’m his. And he’s mine.
We belong to one another. Now and always.
My eyes flutter closed as I snuggle into the couch, warmth and love encompassing me as sleep takes over.
“Just tell me. . .” He sighs, his voice softer, more exposed than I’ve ever heard when he whispers, “You’ll stay and be mine."
“I’m not going anywhere ever again.”
