“I get you, but I will fix this. I’m not losing my woman,” I grit out as I push past him and out the door.
Turning, I run toward the house, hoping she hasn’t found a way to leave yet. I can’t lose my Sunshine Goddess.
Once inside, I flip the lock and instantly know she’s up in our room. I can hear her hastily going through drawers. That hits me like a punch to the gut.
She’s going to leave if I don’t set things straight.
For once, I’m thankful the house has carpet everywhere but the kitchens and bathrooms so that it can help muffle my steps.
Before I even reach the stairs, I can hear her sobs and my gut twists. I fucking hate hearing Sunshine crying on a normal day, but the fact that she’s crying because of me is ten times worse.
Only the fact that I can see the bedroom door is open is what keeps my footsteps steady as I climb the stairs. I don’t want her shutting the door and putting up another barrier between us.
When I reach our room, I shut the door behind me. She’s standing at the edge of the bed with her back to the door as she shoves clothes into a bag.
It’s then that she notices she’s not alone.
She spins on her heel and levels me with a hateful glare. It pisses me off even more that that look is on her face because of me.
“Leave, Timber. I’ll be out of your life shortly and you can go back to your fun,” she spits.
Quickly, I cross the room toward her, but she backs away toward her side of the bed, trying to keep distance between us.
That’s not happening.
I follow her and gently grab hold of her shoulders, careful not to touch any of her wounds.
Before she can say anything else, I slam my lips down onto hers. She refuses to open, but after a few moments, she melts against me.
I should have known it was too easy, because the second she lets me in, she bites down on my tongue as she pounds her tiny fists against my chest.
“What the fuck?”
“What the fuck? What do you mean, what the fuck? How dare you kiss me with the mouth you had onthem,Timber!” she screams as she continues to beat on my chest.
“I’ve never kissed or been with anyone else since we’ve been together, Sunshine. And I’m not Timber to you when we’re alone. I’m Liam.”
“Liar! And I’m not your sunshine. Not anymore. You didn’t deny anything just moments ago. You just sat there and stared at me. Ripped my heart out and stomped on the shredded pieces.”
The knot in my gut twists even harder at that. “I swear, I never touched them or anyone like that. How can I prove it to you? You’re my everything, Sunshine. My Old Lady.
“You want to know why I wasn’t here? Aside from when I had to be in Church, it’s because every second I saw you, I had to remind myself that I couldn’t touch you like I wanted. It was so fucking hard to step away because I still felt the urge to have eyes on you all the time. But I had to take things slow. It would kill me to know that I caused you pain because of my selfish needs. I was waiting for you to let me know you were ready for more. I never meant for you to take that as rejection. It’s been killing me that I couldn’t touch you or sink into you like I wanted to.”
Her bright blue eyes search my face, but she won’t find any lie in what I’d said. It’s all true.
Then her jaw clenches. “Then why did you not brush off those two whores touches earlier? Was this the first time you talked to them like that? That they touched you like that?”
Groaning, I shake my head. “Honestly, I don’t know why. I thought they were just being friendly, and I didn’t know they were stalling me or rubbing it in your face. I swear.”
“What did you talk about?” she practically whispers as another tear rolls down her cheek. Surprisingly, she doesn’t pull away from my touch when I wipe it away. Hope flares in my chest that I haven’t fully lost her.
“They apologized for hitting on me before and causing problems. I found out they were taking online classes while being here, and it kind of just spiraled from there. I had no idea they were creating another problem.” Pausing, I lift her chin and make her look at me again. “I mean it, Sunshine. There’s no one else for me. I can’t live without you by my side. I need you. Please believe me, baby.”
More tears escape down her cheeks, and I wipe them away. “This can’t happen again, Liam. I don’t care who the fuck they are. They touch you; you step away. I’m tired of always being the one that has to fight to keep you. I need you to fight to keep me, too.”
“Always,” I say right before I slam my lips down on hers.
She moans as she melts against me. This time, she opens right away, her tongue dueling with my own.
