“I haven’t been sure of anything else in my entire life.”
He smiles so brightly as my words pulverize the shadow of doubt.
Pecking his lips, I play with the ends of his hair. “You have always been my biggest dream. I want it all with you. A family, to continue playing, and to become a renowned pianist. But I refuse to give one up. I can and will have both. Will you support me?”
Even though I know the answer, I need to hear it.
“Always, baby. I’ll make sure you get whatever you want and not one thing less,” he says it like an oath I know he will live by.
“You’re the best man.” He’s about to protest, but I cut him off by saying, “For me. To me. Everything else I don’t care about. Never did. Never will. Even if the world paints you as a monster.Fears you like the devil. I’ll never stop loving you. To me, you’re pure life, unbound beauty, and endless joy.”
“Never leave me again.” His eyes glisten, overcome with emotion.
Eliciting such a potent response only reinforces my belief.
I look him deep in his eyes. “I swear. I’m sorry.”
“Now let’s go home.”
When I notice where that is, I cup my mouth, crying and smiling simultaneously.
His.
He brought me to his place.

MIKAIL
After being trapped in hell, sparring and losing against my demons for the last few days, she yanked me back toward life. I don’t even bother questioning how she could do it. She’s my beacon of light. The strength to my weakness. Her power over me overshadows everything else.
The first rays of sunshine poke at my lids, waking me up. Stretching, I feel invigorated after sleeping through the night after six sleepless ones.
Glancing to my side, my chest warms. She’s in my bed. By my side. Her place. The only woman for me. The only woman I want to make mine in every sense of the word.
She’s still fast asleep, lying naked with a sheet draped over her ass, tangled between her legs.
I caress along her back, and she moans my name as she slowly rises from her slumber, greeting me with the biggest grin before a shadow clouds her gorgeous face.
I know she’s terrified of the implications of our relationship, but the secrecy will end. Soon.
I refuse to live without her. But if a few more days in secrecy will help ease her mind for what we’ll face then fine by me. I am more than ready to profess my undying love to her.
“Morning, baby girl,” I whisper and lean in for a kiss.
“Let’s stay in bed for the rest of the day,” she suggests, kissing me back with just as much ardor.
Once I make her mine for good, we won’t leave this bed for a long time, but we still have some hurdles to overcome until then.
Her stomach growls, shifting my priorities. “Let’s get my woman fed first.”
She bats her lashes at me. “Cum?”
I swear my cock, which was already hard and ready, jerks at her response.
“Jesus, fuck, you’re killing me here,” I groan.
My perfect angel with a dirty mouth and heavenly holes.
