Page 52 of Maid Fohr Love
He pulled away. His eyes cut through me like lasers. I folded under pressure. He could see right through me. I knew it from the contortion of his handsome features.
“What’s the matter, sweet baby?”
I pushed my curls out of my face and shook my head.
“I missed you, is all.”
“That’s not all.”
“I’ve struggled to believe any of it was real the last few days. It was almost too perfect. As if I’d dreamt it all.”
“You weren’t dreaming alone, Kit. And, I’m still trying to wake the fuck up. I hate the world’s halt came to an end and stirred us from our slumber as much as I’ve hated being away from you the last few days.
“I hate the way I can’t get you off my mind and how off things were when I left. I hate the shit the media has going on and the fact that I’m sure you’ve seen the circus. I hate I had to publicize my personal business to dead all that bullshit. I hate that I couldn’t get back to you sooner, and I hate you’ve been feeling anything other than the happiness I promised you. I hatethe way Olivia treated you back at the crib and the fact that I ultimately decided to fire her because of it.”
“Fohr, you di–”
“She’s been on thin ice for a while, Kit. I kept her around because she was good at her job. But, I’m sure there’s someone else who is just as good as her and I’ll find them. I’m not worried about it right now. All I’m worried about is you. I got on the first thing smoking to tell you something I should’ve told you before I let you slip out of that door the other day,” he paused and ran his tongue across his lips.
“I love you, Kit Delucca. I’m in love with you. And, the love I have for you has made it clear that I’ve never truly loved a woman before. This is– this is all-consuming. Enriching. Exhilarating. Demanding. Elevating. I haven’t thought the same, felt the same since you and I don’t want to go back to my way of thinking or feeling.
“Because, this is so much better. You’re so much better. And, though shit is crazy now, it won’t always be this way. I’ll make sure of it. Your comfort has always been my priority. Nothing has changed, sweet baby. Nothing. I just want you around. Now. tomorrow. Next week. Next year. Always. Will you be around, Kit?”
I nodded as tears stung my orbs. “Yes. Yes, I’ll be around, Fohr. As long as you’ll have me.”
“Don’t threaten me with a good time.” He chuckled, hoisting me in the air.
“It’s not a threat.”
“Good, because I need you in my world, Kit. In my home. In my bed waiting when I get off that road, giving me the motivation to make it back.”
“Like today?”
“Just like today.”
His lips pressed against mine.
“Come home with me.”
He kissed me a third time.
“Come spend the night with me.”
I lifted his necklace from his chest.
“Only if you promise to get me one of these. Much smaller. Less diamonds. Maybe initials. FM.”
“Whatever you want, baby.”
I pressed my forehead against his. The words I’d waited patiently to reveal were at the tip of my tongue. I’d known for a full week that I was head over heels for the man Fohr had shown me he was. I’d known for a full week that I didn’t want to live a day on this earth at odds with him.
I’d known for a full week that he was the man of my dreams. I’d known for a full week that there was no greater feeling than this one. I’d known for a full week that he made me the happiest.
“Fohr.”
“Yes, baby?”
“I love you. Progressively. Passionately. Comfortably. Happily.”
“I know, Kit. Because loving me is exactly what you weremaid for.”
The end.
