“No. That wasn’t why.” He pulls back, his face now expressionless.
I push one of his dark locks away from his temple. “I’m not mad, Frankie. I get it. You lost everything, now you can have something back.”
“You think I don’t love you?” His eyes squint.
It’s hard processing all of this new information. Finding out this was the life he had ripped away from him hurts because I know it must have ruined him.
I’ve known that I was in love with him for a long time. I tried to fight it, but it was a losing battle. My heart belonged to him from the moment we met.
“I love you, Frankie. You brought me to life and I want to give you this, the family you deserve. I’ll always be by your side, no matter what. Even if you never love me completely, I know I’m enough for you. I know, in your own way, you love me, too.”
I press a gentle kiss to his cheek, closing my eyes and resting my forehead against his.
“Look at me, Zara.”
I feel the tender touch of his hands as they rest on my cheeks. I couldn’t tear my eyes from his, even if I wanted to. That is the effect he has on me. It will only ever be him for me.
“In every single lifetime, it will always be you, Zara. I would go through the torture I’ve dealt with a thousand times over if it meant that you were my reward. You make everything worth it. Every ounce of pain I’ve ever felt was to bring me to you. My undying love for you is unquestionable. No matter what life throws at us. You, Zara. You are my inevitable, my love and my purpose.”
My cheeks are stained with tears. My heart feels like it's about to burst.
“I love you, Zara. With every part of me. Our future is not my past. It was never about that. It was purely out of my love for you.”
“Frankie,” I whisper. I can hardly get my words out. “I shouldn’t have said that. I’m so sorry.”
I’m ashamed I even accused him, my own insecurities getting in the way. If this man never said the words, he shows me every day he loves me. He proves it in his actions.
“I’m glad you did. You needed to know everything. Now we’ve laid it all out, we don’t look back, only forward.”
“I never realized you could feel a love this strong. It’s kind of scary, isn’t it?”
“I’m not scared of it. It’s our power. It’s what will set us apart from the rest.”
“Any change in your stance on the proper proposal?” I pout at him. Not that I need that now. I will be Mrs. Falcone, regardless.
“Yes,” he mutters between kisses. “If you pass the last test.”
“Which is?”
“Giving yourself over to me, let me take away all of your control. Let me set you free.”
He slides a finger along my pussy,
With a swift motion, he scoops me up by the waist and delicately sets me down on the smooth surface of the table.
“I need to go and get us set up upstairs. Give me ten minutes. I want you naked with your head down as you enter the room. Upstairs, I own you. This is the ultimate statement of trust. I won’t take that lightly, I promise. Do you want this, Zara?”
I swallow, looking into his eyes.
I trust him to protect me, to protect our child. It’s an easy answer.
“Yes, sir.”
He drops a hot kiss on my lips.
“Good girl. Ten minutes, okay?”
“Okay.”
