The way our bodies collided and moved was like we were following a constant rhythm. The act alone felt like we were dancing to a sexual and sensual tune created by our needy bodies and souls.

I had never felt so aroused and yet, craved more and more. I felt as if I would explode if I didn’t get more of him in every way possible. My hands tightened around his waist as I continued to pull him closer. I could feel myself reaching the height of our song and as I let out a loud yell, I allowed my body to release. Pure adrenaline shot through me as Axel felt my release and continued our song of desire. As he continued to move inside of me, I could feel him inching his way toward the final note of our tune. Axel let out a growl as he reached his final peak of intensity and then fell on top of me, his breaths coming out in uneven waves.

“I love you,” Axel breathed, as he turned his head to face me. His jagged breaths were causing his stomach to rise and fall and I was mesmerized by the act. Allowing my fingers to trace his form, I smiled.

“I love you too, Axel,” I said.

The shock seemed to register over his face, almost like he wasn’t sure if he heard me correctly.

“You do? Still after everything I did?” he asked, a smile forming on his bruised lips.

“Yes. I have been so worried about you. I wish you would have let me help you. Please, don’t ever run away from me again,” I said.

Gently stroking my cheek, Axel looked into my eyes. “I never thought I would meet a girl like you. I never dreamed someone like you would walk into my life and make me feel like this--so complete. You are everything I ever wanted, everything I needed, and everything I thought I would never have,” he stated as he leaned over and kissed me again.

“Axel, stick around. I promise I will show you that together we can be everything we both want and need.”

Rolling back over, Axel was hard as he thrust himself back inside of me and gave me another round of mind-blowing bliss.

We fell asleep later as the twilight of the night began to settle in. And as Axel wrapped a sleepy arm around me, I couldn’t help but smile and think this is what heaven must be like.

Chapter 19

Axel

Love.

Love had always been a strange idea for me. I guess I never knew there could be this intense and world-altering love that I now feel for Ivy.

Sure, I love my brothers. I loved my parents. But what I feel for Ivy goes beyond that family bond. With her, love is forever. Love is spiritual.

Rolling over in bed, I watch as the morning sunlight glows all around Ivy making her look like an angel. The covers just barely cover her stomach and her breasts are on full display for me. With her wild hair sprawled out on her pillow and herface so relaxed and at ease, I have this yearning to just stare at her all day. She is so beautiful and she is all mine. Sighing, I just watch her as she sleeps.

Before meeting Ivy, I would have thought watching anyone else sleep was strange. Something only those sick stalker-types would do.

Now, I completely understand their sick desires.

Gently stirring, I watch as Ivy’s eyes open and a smile creeps across her features as she catches me red-handed watching her sleep.

“Good morning. Were you watching me sleep?” she asks, like she had read my mind.

Laughing, I sit up and tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. The movement of my face quickly reminds me of the events from the previous night.

Pain shoots through me and as I look down at my own hand caressing Ivy’s face, I see the cuts and bruises that are a nasty reminder of what I had done. What I could have done.

Noticing my pained expression, Ivy carefully reaches out and takes my hand in hers. Inspecting my wounds, she leans down and places her soft lips to my knuckles. I watch in complete awe as she kisses my cuts and bruises, as though her lips alone can heal me.

At this moment, I would swear they could.

“Ivy, I really fucked up,” I say, as I shake my head.

“Ok. You messed up. Now, we fix it,” she says, with so much confidence and belief in me, I almost feel tears threatening to escape my cold eyes.

“Why do you have so much faith in me?” I question, not sure if I even believe in myself the way she does.

“Because I love you,” she says with a slight chuckle. As though she couldn’t understand my line of thinking.

“You truly are incredible,” I tell her, ignoring the pain and taking her in my arms.
