The doorbell rings, snapping us out of our little love nest.
“Oh! That must be breakfast! I’ll get it,” Ava hops out of bed and beats feet to the steps. “I’m starving!”
I fucking love that woman so much.
“Shit,” I groan, remembering I have to sign the receipt. I roll out of bed and fix my sweats. At least I’ve been able to keep my raging boner at bay this morning.
I reach the bottom of the step and start towards the front door when I hear Ava gasping.
I only see the back of her head, but I see no food. And nobody is at the door.Something’s wrong.
She turns to me with an expression on her face that I’ve never seen before. I look down at her hand over her stomach, and it’s covered in blood.
“D– Damien?” Her eyes wide, and face pale.
I’m frozen. She starts falling. I run and catch her and fall to the ground with her in my arms.
“No! Ava!” I scream in agony. “Stay with me, baby,” I beg her, holding back the tears welling up in my eyes, but she no longer can hear me. “You can’t leave me, Ava! Do you hear me? You can’t!”
I pull out my phone from my pocket in panic and dial 9-1-1. I put it on speaker and keep pressure on her wound, waiting for an emergency dispatcher to answer the damn call. And even though it lasts only a few seconds, it seems like an eternity to me. Every fucking fracture of a second lasts forever.
“9-1–1, what’s your emergency?” I hear a female voice through the phone. I look at Ava, and my face goes pale. My heart is pumping heavily, and I can’t catch a breath. I’m suffocating. She can’t die. I can’t lose her.
Is it what happens when you taste what’s forbidden to you?Ava is my forbidden fruit. I know I don’t deserve her. And I know she is the only woman I shouldn’t have been wanting, and yet I couldn’t resist the temptation. Is it my punishment now? If I had stayed away from her, none of these would have happened. It’s my fault… and if I lose her, I will never forgive myself.
I clench my jaw in rage, struggling to breathe.Who did this to you, baby?I swear I’ll find the bastard responsible for it and kill them with my bare hands. Even if I’ll have to make a pact with the devil. I’ll fucking kill them.
“Hello? Is someone there? What’s your emergency?”
“My girlfriend!” I scream, letting a tear stream down my face. My hands are shaking. “She’s been stabbed!”
