Chapter Thirty-One

Nick

Jesus Christ,I’ve lost my damn mind.

I know I have.

It’s not a wonder. It’s fact.

A simple observation.

I’ve lost my damn mind and lost myself in her and I know it’s neither good nor bad.

I’m looking at her asleep in my bed, again.

Angelic.

Still fucking angelic and the moonlight beams down on her like heavenly rays of starlight gracing her in that ethereal glow.

She fell asleep hours ago and I’ve just been thinking and watching.

My little tie up session took it out of her but I still got another three rounds out of her before sleep took her.

I’m sitting at the window in my boxers, smoking a cigar.

I haven’t smoked so much in a long time but like her it soothes me. It stops me from thinking too much and sometimes feeling too much.

As I watch her I’m not sure if the effect I get from it is working the way it usually does, but this doll has sure done a fucking number on me.

The situation is shit but what did I expect?

The last time I was this fascinated with anyone I ended up in the fucking shit with my heart crushed in so many damn ways it was irreparable.

Mia was supposed to be a game. A distraction but she ended up being the boss of me.

Same as Vanessa but she didn’t start of being a game.

And what frightens me is the distinct fact that if some motherfucker thought they could take Mia I’ll fight for her.

I won’t fucking care if every crime family came to get me, I’ll do it. I’ll fight for her and I won’t allow anybody to take her no matter what debt is owed or whatever it is.

I will do it because she’s mine.

And not because of the past where it happened before. That’s what scares me.

What scares me more is the lingering fact I have over me that I don’t want to accept yet what she means to me.

That means more.

It means so much more, because I’ll have to change things up.

She stirs and her gorgeous breasts bobble when she rolls to the side and reaches for me.

I’m an ass because I love watching her do that. She’s been doing that every night she’s been with me.

Like every night I watch I go back to her in our bed.
