I stepped forward, and Elizabeth moved back until she was against the wall with nowhere to go.
“I can’t help but love you,” Elizabeth said, her voice cracking. “I’m trying to be strong, but you’re all I think about.”
“I know.” My hand slid around the back of her neck, my other hand tipping her chin back to look at me.
“I’ve wondered whether we are good together, Elizabeth.”
Elizabeth stiffened.
“Shit, I’ve wondered if we should be fuck buddies. Dom and sub, anything that doesn’t involve emotion.” I choked on my own words, but somehow, she gave me strength, her hands touching mine. “I want to fuck you so badly all of the time. I want to ruin you. Own you.”
Elizabeth bit her lip, nodding as tears fell down her blotchy cheeks.
“I want to fuck away every part of him that ever touched you.” I pressed myself against her, but the aching in my heart far outweighed the one in my dick.
“So do it.” Elizabeth choked out.
“I want to punish you so bad.”
I did. I wanted to make her regret ever taking AJ’s word over mine, even though I knew why she did it.
“Do it,” Elizabeth said again, meeting my eyes. “If it makes you feel better, do it.”
I tilted my head, sighing heavily.
“I can’t.”
Elizabeth looked confused, her eyes widening as she gripped my hands.
“Why?”
I studied her, wondering what it was about this beautiful woman that had me so fucking crazy for her. My chest ached, and I rested my forehead on hers, my thumbs caressing her cheeks as we cried silently together.
“Because I love you.”
I closed my eyes when I said those three words people throw around. They meant too much.
Elizabeth gasped, but I no longer wanted to have a conversation. Words wouldn’t suffice anymore.
I knew she loved me back and was in pain, too—I could feel it.
“I’m so sorry, Reign,” Elizabeth whispered as my lips found hers.
The kiss was soft and light as we pulled away, studying one another.
It wasn’t about AJ. Shit, it wasn’t even about her thinking I was a murderer. It wasn’t about what AJ did to her, what she’d hopefully never know. It was about her and me and what we could be together.
“I know you are, and I’m sorry for not telling you sooner.”
The barrier between us broke, and she reached for me, her fingers curled in my hair as I lifted her legs around my waist, carrying her to the bed.
I want her.
Every fucking inch of her.
She wanted me, too.
Elizabeth clawed at me like she wanted to tear my skin off, climb into me, and be as close to me as she could. Our teeth collided as we fought to get closer, her dress tearing when I yanked it away from her body.
