“Mia.” The softness of his voice is unlike anything I’ve ever heard from him before. “Fuck, Princess, please don’t cry.”
I don’t turn to face him, it’s bad enough that he knows things I didn’t.
“Princess, talk to me,” he pleads, lifting me from the swing and into his arms.
“I didn’t want you to know.” I sob.
“Why?” He sounds so hurt.
“I didn’t want you to not love me anymore.” It sounds pathetic now that I’ve said it out loud.
“That’s impossible, you’re mine Mia, and that’s never going to change.”
“I can’t get clean, Hudson. I can’t wash him off me.”
A growling sound sends shivers down my spine. “You will, I swear to you, Baby, you will feel as though you’re clean. You already are.”
“I feel weak, that I allowed him to do it to me. That I wasn’t strong enough to fight him off.” I rest my head against his shoulder and sob. “Hudson, every time I close my eyes and you’re not with me, he’s there. He’s touching me, hurting me, violating me. It doesn’t stop.”
Wetness hits my shoulder and I know that I’m not the only one crying. “Oh fuck,” he gasps, “Baby.” He’s unable to make full sentences.
He holds me tight in his arms and waits for me until my tears finally stop.
“Okay, Princess,” he says once my tears finally dry up. “I’m going to say something and I want you to listen without interrupting.”
I nod, unable to speak.
“Good, firstly, I have never nor will I ever consider you weak. You are fucking strong, you’re amazing. Look at you, you have been through hell and you’re still standing. You’re a warrior.”
My tears begin to fall again, this time they’re happy tears.
“You’re not dirty, and would never be. You’ve been hurt in a way no woman should ever be. That’s going to take a while to heal from and I’m going to show you every day just how fucking amazing you are. There’s not going to be a day that goes by where you doubt my love, my commitment, my admiration for you.”
“God.” I breathe, he needs to stop.
“No, Princess, Hudson.” I smile at his words, “I’m going to worship you in the dark, replacing those memories you have of him.” I lift my head to look at him, those brown eyes of his so bright. He presses a kiss against my lips. “You’re beautiful Mia. You took my breath away the first night I saw you, I fell in love that night. My feelings for you have only grown stronger since then.”
“I love you. Words can’t describe just how much I do.”
“Made for me,” He growls against my lips. “Lets’ go inside. You need to eat.”
I tense as I get to my feet. “Mia, you’re going to have to talk to him.”
“No, I don't. Not yet. I wasn’t ready to talk and by him telling you, he made me. He took my choice away from me.” I know that I have to talk to him at some point, but not right now.
“Okay,” he says and I know that he wants to say more, he just doesn't want to push me.
He holds my hand as we walk back into the house, my heart galloping as we do. I know that Jagger’s still here, his trucks parked out front.
“Mia,” he says as soon as Hudson and I go into the sitting room. I look at him, he looks gutted. “I’m sorry, but Hudson needed to know.”
“Yes he did, but not by you. Never by you.”
His eyes widen, “Mia…”
“No, Jagger, I trusted you, I spoke to you in confidence and you broke that.”
He closes his eyes, a look of pain etched on his face. “I’m sorry, but he deserved to know, you need help, Mia.”
