The ecstasy of her pussy milking his bare cock transcended his memories. She tightened the grip of her arms and legs around him.
He kissed his way over her jaw and down her neck. As she went over the edge of climax, he set his teeth over the thick muscle of her shoulder and bit down gently.
She left him.
She’d likely leave again.
It didn’t change anything.
Amelia was still his soulmate.
He lifted his head to watch her face at the moment of orgasm, delivered three more powerful thrusts, and coated her body with his release.
It felt ripped from his soul.
They stayed where they were for several minutes, gasping for air. Their hearts pounded against one another where their chests were sealed together.
Unable to handle looking into her eyes for another moment, Leo buried his face at her neck and she did the same to him.
Amelia was the only piece missing from his life. To an outsider, it might not seem too bad to have one piece missing...until you realized it was the biggest, most important piece.
The thought sent debilitating pain through him and left him in complete emotional upheaval. He kept his face against her as tears welled past his ability to hold them back. Amelia’s tears were hot on his neck.
A long time later, she lifted her head and he did the same.
Staring into his eyes, she whispered, “I am...so sorry, Leo.” Her fingers shook as she wiped his cheeks. “I’ve said it before but I was a coward. I couldn’t look you in the eye and say the words I owed you.”
“Why, Amelia?” He shook his head. “Why did you leave me?”
It was all he could manage in a hoarse whisper.
With a gasping sob, she confessed, “Because I love you, Leo. I loved you then, I loved you all the years we were apart, and I love you now.”
He held her shoulders, pulled her forward slightly, and put her back against the wall. “You should have stayed.”
“I couldn’t. I didn’t want you taking care of me…”
“Amelia! Having you to care for was the only thing that kept me from melting into hysterical screams about the baby. I was in agony. I know you went through so fucking much more but I also lost a child.”
Her eyes widened. “Leo…”
“There was grief, Amelia. Guilt about not protecting you, not getting to you in time, not taking you out of that house in the first place. I hated myself but you still loved me...and I knew it would get better.”
“I’m sorry, I…”
“Then you left. You snuck away in the middle of the night like you couldn’t even look at me because I failed you, failed our baby. For the first time in my life, I truly failed and the stakes had never been higher.”
“No, Leo...no. You didn’t fail.” She held his cheek. “You deserved more than I was able to give you…”
“You don’t get to decide what I deserve, Amelia.” Bracing her, he pulled from her body and carried her to the bathroom. He set her on the feet and turned on the shower. “Especially when you’re so fucking wrong.” She started to speak and he placed the tips of his fingers over her lips. “I-I need a minute.”
“Take the time you need, Leo. I did.”
“Yeah. Yeah, you did.”
It was a gaping wound between them.
