To help me heal the scars that marred my heart.
To catch me and never let me fall.
“Please, take good care of her for me,” Matt murmured to Tony.
“It will be an honor, sir,” Tony replied, his voice thick with emotion.
Matt pulled back, his eyes red rimmed and filled with tears, then bent and pressed a gentle kiss upon my cheek.As he and Special Agent Rizzo turned and walked to the door, Matt paused and looked back at me.
“I love you, munchkin.Always remember that.”
“I love you, too,” I sobbed.
When the door closed behind him, I broke down.
“I’ll give you two some privacy,” Reed whispered and left the room.
Tony held me in his arms as I cried uncontrollably.
“Let it out, angel.You’ve held so much inside you for so long.Just let it out.It’s time to unburden all the fear and pain and misery.”
“How could I think that he would ever have tried to hurt me?”I wailed.
“Because you were young and what he did was opposite of the man you believed him to be.None of us are perfect.We all make mistakes.Matt made some huge ones, but I don’t want you blaming yourself for how his actions affected you or how you responded to what he did.You did the right thing by going into self-preservation mode,” Tony assured, wiping my tears with the pads of his thumb.“Besides, running away ultimately brought you to me.”
He captured my lips, inundating me with passion and so much love more tears spilled down my cheeks.
“Come on, angel, let’s go home.”
Snuggled tight against Tony’s side, he drove to the club.Once back in our room, we laid in bed, my head on his chest, and his arms wrapped around me.
“I know today was an emotional rollercoaster ride for you, sweetheart.Tell me how you’re feeling, what you’re thinking?”
“Really?You already want to pull your scalpel out?”
“No time like the present.”I could hear the smile he undoubtedly wore in his voice.
“All right, but if you think I’m going to pay you for this visit, you’re crazy.”I grinned.
“You’ll pay all right but not with money,” he rumbled.
In an instant, my nipples drew tight, and I ground my pussy against his thigh.“I’d rather play doctor, patient in other ways.”
“I’m sure you would, and maybe we’ll have to investigate your desire for medical play…later.Right now, it’s time to talk.”
I swallowed tightly, thinking about stirrups and speculums.“Okay, I really don’t have any medical fantasies, it was just a metaphor.”
Tony chuckled as he tugged a strand of hair clinging to my shoulder.“You’re stalling, angel.Talk to me.”
“The relief I feel now is totally different from what I felt when I thought Matt was dead.”
“Explain that statement to me.”
A small smile curled on my lips.Tony had three distinct modes: doctor, Dominant, and lover.And damn if I didn’t thoroughly love them all.
We spent hours discussing every feeling, thought, and rationalization running through my mind.Tony’s persuasive yet gentle questions brought a sense of closure and healing.Not only in regard to Matt but the deep scars I’d carried from the rape, the loss of Nathan, George’s betrayal, and the resentment I felt toward my parents.When he was through, I felt emotionally and physically exhausted.
“I’m proud of you, angel.You’re mighty strong for such a little wisp of a girl,” Tony teased.
