and your job. I have never loved woman the way that I love you. Don’t give me your self-pity bullshit. I know what you went through was scary. I know that. But I have fucking killed myself and made more deals with the devil since the day I first fell for you, all to keep you safe. You don’t get to play that card.” His hands are on either side of my face, he isn’t letting me look away “I know that my baby is inside of you right now, I know that things are going to get a hell of a lot worse before they get better, but I am telling you Olivia, I love you. I love you so much it fucking hurts. You are my whole life. You don’t even know how much it hurt me to not be able to take care of you. It killed me.” The pad of his thumb gently rubs the tears away that are falling down my cheek. “I love you too.” I whisper. “So much Dean.” His lips are forceful against mine. So many feelings are being passed between us. His kiss is hard and needy, mine is regretful. He reaches down and pulls my shirt quickly over my head. He nudges me up so that he can remove my jean shorts. There is nothing slow or gentle about what happens next, Dean removes himself from his shorts and plunges into me so hard and fast, my first cry is a blissful mixture of pain and pleasure. He’s groaning all sorts of things but I can’t quite make any of them out. He has me held so close to him. Like he is afraid to let me go. His thrusts are continuous and at the same speed. He is saying my name. He’s saying how sorry he is, how much he loves me. I tell him I love him too. Scratching my nails against his back as he picks up the pace. I know that he is close. I can feel his desperation to try and make this last longer. “It’s okay.” I whisper in his ear. This sends him over the edge, I am not far behind. He’s still holding me so tightly. He doesn’t let go for several moments. “I love you so much.” We move to the bedroom, and we don’t leave until much later in the evening, when Dean announces that we need to eat. He was in a really good mood for the entire day. He didn’t want to let me go, unless I was going to the bathroom he was with me. His desperation to constantly touch me was evident. I thought it was sweet. “No matter what happens. No matter what anyone ever tells you, I want you to know that I love you. That I will always love you. Promise me you will always remember that.” I promised him. Of course I didn’t realize what this promise met. He was leaving me.
Chapter 17 There is a banging at the door the next morning. I moan slightly at being woken up too quickly, I rub my hand along the other side of the bed, feeling for Dean but he isn’t there. I sit up, pulling the sheet around me as I do. His spot is cold. He hasn’t been here for a while. The banging sound continues. I get up, throw on my T-shirt and shorts and I walk out into the living room. It’s clean. It wasn’t clean when we went to bed last night. Dean and I had sex on pretty much every solid surface of this suite last night. Lamps were pulled down, pillows tossed in random areas. It was a disaster. He must have woken up and cleaned it last night. I walk to the bathroom to see if he is in the shower. The door is open and the light is off. I call out: “Dean?” No answer. Odd. The knocking starts up again. This time it isn’t as loud as it was before. Whoever is on the other side, must have heard me call out to Dean. Then I consider maybe its Dean. Maybe he stepped out and forgot his key. I walk to the peephole and look through. It’s not Dean, its Adam. I look around the room behind me. Something feels off. I open the door. Adam is smiling “Hey.” I move to the side so that he can come through. He’s wearing a suit. I see his name tag on the pocket of his suit jacket. He’s carrying a bakery box “I bought donuts. I figured you might be hungry.” “Thanks.” I say. He sits
