Page 54 of My Heartless Soul

“Whose are you, Kira?”

The sharp intake of her breath is too loud for this stainless-steel room. I see the war raging inside her eyes. I see the walls she has in place and refuses to let them down. The secrets piled around her heart, making it disappear. But I am not sure I want them to be broken. I am not sure what I want from this woman.

Like I said, I am the insane one.

Yet, I still take a step towards her again. Like a magnet that cannot be helped. Or a dog that hasn’t been neutered, searching for one to hump. Clearly, I should have done the vasectomy like Viola asked…

Fuck that. I am not thinking of my bitch of an ex right now. Or ever.

No, right now, my attention belongs to the one whose hair is as red as the hottest burning fire and an attitude to match it. Hell, my attention has been on her from day one, the train of thoughts, though, those changed as of the last few weeks.

All those dirty bastards got released into the wild, and then she went ahead and enabled them with her pretend relationship and jealousy.

“Are you mine?” I ask as I tuck in one loose strand of her flames behind her ear. But Kira doesn’t answer. She only stares into my soul, searching for whatever it is she needs to steal from me.

Well, she already has my body and my mind. So, what’s next? My heart?

I think it has already got one foot out the door.

“Didn’t you already say that I was yesterday?”

“But are you?”

Finally, she takes another deep breath and says, “I belong to the ocean.”

I’m not an idiot. I know the ocean is somewhere where she buried her secrets. “All of you?”

“The important bits. The heart you are looking for. It’s there. All the way at the bottom.”

“What about the rest? Can I have the rest? Just once.”

Kira closes her eyes softly and whispers, “Yes.”

One word. One word, and I’m no longer leaving. I’m no longer full of rage and hate. Instead, her wildfire has washed over me, engulfing me in its power.

Screw responsibilities.

Screw holding it all in.

Screw protecting myself.

I want her. I hate her. And I might love her.

I slam my lips to hers, sealing her words in a kiss that feels a lot like a promise. One we are both leaping into.

I pick her up without breaking our kiss, and every inch of me sings in pleasure as I hold her, wrapping my hands under her ass. The one I couldn’t stop thinking about for the past twenty-four hours. Couldn’t stop pondering if my handprint was still there on her flawless, creamy skin, and that thought alone stopped the lust-fest in my head just as we entered Kira’s office, and I set her down on her wobbly feet.

There is so much I need to know before losing myself in her completely.

“What? What is it this time? Please don’t walk away again.” She is almost whining, and it’s cute as fuck, so I let out a little chuckle that has her frowning.

“Are you laughing at me?”

“No. I find it cute how desperate you are for my cock.”

“Cute? Are you out of your damn mind, Levidis? I am—”

I cut her off, dropping my forehead to hers and cupping her chin.
