She sighs, running her hand through her blonde hair that now reaches her waist. The blonde waves are always present, always flowing in a mess as it falls down around her shoulders.
“I just—”
“Spit it the fuck out, Ivy.”
She glares at me. “I don’t want you to fucking change your mind about her. Or us.”
What?
“What?” I echo my thoughts, confused on where her own have come from.
“You heard what I said.” She says quietly.
“I know. I actually did hear you. I just don’t understood what I heard. Why the hell would you say something like that?”
“Because it’s true. I need to make sure she’s always protected. Just like you want to do for us, I need to do it for her. Her life hasn’t been pretty, and she’s finally found a home. It would break her if she knew you changed your mind about us.”
I narrow my eyes at her. “Have I given you any indication this last year that I’d ever change my mind?”
She shakes her head. “Well, no, but—”
“Exactly. No, I fucking haven’t. So, the fact that you’re even suggesting it is insulting.”
She frowns as she wraps her arms around me. “I’m sorry, I don’t want to hurt your feelings. I just want to protecthers.”
“And I don’t?”
She lets out a huge breath. “I’m sorry, I’m being an idiot. I don’t know why I brought this up. I’m just paranoid.”
“Of what?” I tilt her chin up, watching her blue eyes flicker with uncertainty.
“I love you, Aziel. Every night I go to sleep with you on my mind and every morning I wake up with you on my mind. It scares me, how much my heart beats for you. I can’t help but have a little…hesitation, I guess. Before my head and heart fall any further, I guess I want to make sure you’re in it for good. Lilah deserves to know before she falls in love with you further, too.”
My body deflates. I walk forward, making her back up until her back hits the wall. “Ivy?”
“Yeah?” She asks, suddenly breathless.
“I love you. More than you fuckin’ realize. Your concerns are valid, but they’re unneeded. I’m not fuckin’ going anywhere now or in the future. So, yourhesitationsandparanoiacan go suck a fat dick, because I don’t want to hear about them again. You are my girl, my fuckin’ old lady, whatever you want to call it. And someday, you’ll be my wife.” I point towards Lilah. “And that kid over there, is my kid. Not by blood, not with looks, but right in here.” I pound my fist to my chest. “That’s all that fuckin’ matters. You got me?”
Tears fall down her cheeks as a happy smile breaks out on her face. “Yeah, I got you.”
I bring my hands to her face, cupping her cheeks and covering nearly her entire face with my hands as I tip my head down, crashing my mouth against her. I bite her lip, scraping my tongue against hers as I try to take the worries straight out of her mouth. I’d inhale them if I could, swallow them down and relieve her of the burdens she holds. I know my words won’t take them away. They might lessen them, but she’ll always feel uncertain from the way her life has gone.
Ivy’s hands raise to my hat, flipping it around backwards and setting it back on my head. Her hands wrap around my neck, lacing through the hair at the back of my neck.
I want her. I’ve always wanted her.
“I want you.” I grunt, pressing her against the wall. Our sex life is better now that we live at the house. Lilah has her own room, and I can do with Ivy what I want and when I fucking want.
It only makes me want her more.
“You just had me this morning.” She giggles against my lips.
“So?” I scoff. What the hell does that mean? Once is never enough.
“Z. Church.” Pascal’s voice barks at me. I whip my head towards his, but he’s already gone.
Fucking bastard.
