“Ryan.”
“No. Just…tell me,” I began, but the words got caught in my throat.
“I will tell you the answer to all your questions—”
“Are you leaving me?” I blurted out the most important question.
“No, Ryan. Absolutely not,” Russell confirmed.
I nodded and rubbed the fabric of my shirt between my hands. Okay, this was a good start.
“Are you going to start topping her again?” I asked while I stared at his chest. “Am I going to need to be understanding and share my time with her? Because, I will admit, that I thought I’d never have to be a toy again. But, I would for you.”
“Ryan, stop. Please listen to me, I am not a Top anymore.Youchanged that.Youchanged my life.Youare who I want.Youare the only person that I will ever give sessions to.Youare all that I have waited for.Youare all that I love.” Russell surrounded my cheeks and head with his hands. “Youare my everything and I will move heaven and earth for you.” He leaned in and pressed his lips against mine and then whispered, “And I will calm your hell.”
Instinctively, I reached up and wrapped my arms around him. When my arm encircled Russell, he guided my head to his shoulder. My head went willingly and when it connected with his body, I closed my eyes.
He wasn’t leaving me.
I wasn’t going to have to share time with Claire…or anyone.
The important, pressing questions had been answered and for now, I was at ease.
