“That was incredible,” he murmurs, turning to brush his lips across my hair.
“Let’s never leave it so long again, okay?” I whisper.
He goes quiet for a moment, and then he moves, rolling me to my back and propping himself up on his elbow so he’s looking down at me, those brown eyes intense, his hair falling over his shoulders making him look so fucking gorgeous it hurts.
“I need to tell you how sorry I am, Jaylah. Know I’ve got a long goin’ on, know I’ve got a long road ahead, but I didn’t treat you right. I made you a promise to always treat you right and I broke that promise. I fucked up as a man. I let you down. You didn’t deserve that. Should have talked to you, and I should have told you I wasn’t feelin’ right. I’m sorry. You gotta know that I love you, so fuckin’ much, and the fact that I made you doubt that, for even a few hours, makes me sick to my stomach.”
For a man like Mack, that was a hell of a lot of words.
I reach up and cup his cheek. “We all suffer, Mack. We all do things we later look back on and regret. I know you’re sorry, and I know you love me. It did hurt, but it’s better now and you’re here. Just promise me if you’re ever suffering, you’ll come to me. Don’t shut me out.”
He nods, “I promise.”
“I love you,” I say, smiling up at him.
“Love you too, honey.”
“This Christmas didn’t turn out so bad after all.”
He smiles. “I didn’t get you anything, I was so wrapped up in my own shit I didn’t even realize how close to Christmas we were.”
I shake my head and laugh, “You did get me something.”
I looks confused.
“I asked for one thing, and I got it.”
“What did you ask for?”
I run my thumb over his bottom lip. “I asked for a Biker for Christmas, and you just delivered.”
He grins.
My heart swells.
Life is perfect once more.
Merry Christmas everybody.
THE END
