“Just say it. Just tell me once and for all, so I can put this behind me.”
“Fuck.”
“Can’t you tell me?”
“Yes! I fucking love you, Scottine!” he yelled, his voice booming through his office. “You are the only woman I’ve ever felt love for. The only woman I’ve ever wanted to change for. But you can’t come here after everything and demand my heart. You can’t!”
“You mean the way you demanded mine?” Tears gushed from her eyes, wetting her t-shirt.
Slowly, and with more control than he had to give, he said, “Leave.”
She gasped, obviously stunned, as was he, by that word.
Scottie wiped her face, nodding. “Okay. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I disappointed you.” She turned toward the door, her steps slow.
Fuck. His heart burst inside him. He closed his eyes, every moment they shared coming in flashes. No, this wasn’t right. He opened his eyes, his whole body sparking with energy. With urgency, he moved to the door just before she pulled the door handle and spun her around. She gasped.
“Don’t you fucking doubt me again.” With those words, he put his hands on her face and crashed his mouth on hers in a hungry kiss. He was starved for her, and she matched his intensity.
When they parted, he wiped her tears. She wiped his.
He pressed his forehead against hers. “You have to trust me. Trust that you have my loyalty. My heart.”
She hugged him tight, her heart thumping so hard he felt it. “I trust you, Konrad, with everything. With my everything.”
“Good. Because I want to wake up with you, and I want you to bring an overnight bag. And I want you in my future.” Words he’d never thought he’d utter to another person.
He pulled back to get a good look at his woman and smiled, taking in every curve of her face. He knew, without a doubt, he was in love.
