Fuck.
With a shout, I came, releasing my cum inside her.
She wrapped herself around me as if she were unsure of what would happen once she came back down.
I held her close to me.
I can’t lose you.
I fucking couldn’t lose her. I wouldn’t survive living in this world if she wasn’t in it. I knew that to be a fact. It was the only fact.
I didn’t know how long we stayed wrapped in each other’s arms. I was still inside her, my dick going soft after my release, but I didn’t want to fucking move.
I needed her closer to me.
I needed her more than I had ever needed anything. More than air, more than water, more than my own fucking dignity.
I pulled back and took in her face. There was a calmness in it that I was completely fascinated by.
“You’ll always be with me?” she asked.
I nodded without hesitation. “Even in death.”
She smiled a little at that before her face turned serious, and she looked off to the side.
“My dad called Leo and told him I was back home. I was sure that man who… who tried to run me over was sent here by Leo.”
I didn’t say anything. I had already suspected that.
“Was it all a lie, then?” she asked.
“What was, baby?”
She ran her hand up and down my back, not meeting my eyes. “My childhood.”
“I don’t have an answer for you,” I said. “I’ve long given up on trying to figure out what other people are thinking.”
She nodded, even though I could tell that wasn’t the answer she wanted to hear.
“I had a nice childhood. At least, I thought so. But this… this betrayal. I don’t think I can ever get over it. What am I supposed to do?”
She whispered the last part, her eyes moving over to me.
“Whatever you want to do,” I said. Whatever she chose, I would make it happen.
“I don’t even know anymore.”
I tightened my arms around her. “There is one thing you can be certain about.”
“What?”
“Our child will have a better life, better parents.”
She tensed against me, not saying anything for a moment. Then, “What child?”
