“Nothing,” she answers nervously, suddenly skittish on the subject. She tries to pull her arm away, but I don’t let her go. “The point is, you can’t fuck me more than I’ve already been fucked.”
I can’t help but grin at her choice or words even if I understand their meaning. “Is that a dare, Dollface?”
“You… don’t… everything I go through daily. You’d never be able to ruin me, to break me more than I’ve already been broken. I wish it weren’t this way, that I wasn’t like this, but sometimes I think I'd be better if it all went away, if I…”
“Don’t you fucking dare finish that thought, Stella. I couldn’t stand to live in a world without you, but I also can’t fathom the idea of a world where I cause your pain.”
“You could never hurt me, Kai, not any more than you already have.” My brows crease, unsure of what she means.What have I done to hurt her?“Every rejection is a knife dug into my heart, and I’m afraid at the end, I’ll be bleeding out for you. Because I’ll never give up on us Kai, I won’t stop until you make me yours.”
I feel my heart in my throat. I can’t breathe, can’t speak, like something is lodged there, threatening to suffocate me. But just as I'm about to respond, a soft whistle rings in the air. Her breathing slows, her chest slowly rising and falling. She fell asleep. My baby fell asleep in my arms and come tomorrow, she won’t remember a damn thing about what just happened here. Relief washes over me, but fear of what comes next for us looms over me. Disappointment that this moment will be lost in time.
I place a soft kiss against her forehead. “If you only knew Dollface, you already are.”
