My heartbeat briefly stops because he may be opening up to me.

"It was the first time in three years that I'd had the fucking decency to go and face her."

As he continues, he presses his eyes shut, and I glance around his face.

"I've been such a selfish, fucking asshole."

My eyes soften as I observe his despair, and it causes my heartbreak as well.

"You weren't selfish; it was just how you dealt with things, Arlo.It's better late than never, and she would have understood your reasoning."

I glide my hands up his tattooed back and smile softly when he opens his tearful eyes.

"Going to see her was extremely brave of you."

He closes his eyes again and sighs deeply before speaking.

"I had to apologize to her.It's the least she fucking deserves."

"And did it bring you any comfort?"

He sniffles before speaking when his gaze lifts to me.

"I felt a sense of forgiveness."

I feel my body relax and relief move over me as a result of what he is saying. I lift my palm to his face as I open my now-tearful eyes, and a tear rolls into my hair.

With a small wobble in my throat, I raise my head slightly and whisper against his lips.

"I'm so fucking proud of you; you know that, don't you?"

I press my lips firmly against his, and when we open up for each other, we kiss fiercely and passionately, the intensity of love pouring out of both of our souls.

He grips my hair with his hands and gently pulls back to drive his pierced tongue deeper.

Our bodies grind into one another, yearning to be connected, and when I feel him pull out his cock between us as he breaks off the kiss, I continue to keep my eyes closed, my lips tingling from the way he just devoured my mouth.

I open my heavy eyelids as he positions his hard cock at my slick opening and pauses while slowly brushing his lips against mine, staring deep into my soul.

He whispers over my parted lips as he gently sweeps his nose over mine.

"I fucking love you, too."

My eyes frantically explore his in disbelief, my heart racing in my chest, and when he presses his dick into me without warning, I can't help but moan.

I can barely think straight as he begins to thrust into me hard and deep because the connection between us overwhelms me immediately.

He lowers his head and places his lips against the crook of my neck, speaking with gritted teeth and a growl in his voice.

"But I'm about to fuck you like I fucking hate you and always will because I love destroying you, baby, and I know you love it too."

He sinks his teeth into my neck before sucking hard on my sensitive skin, plainly leaving a mark, and then he speaks when he tilts his head to look at me.

"Fucking kiss me."

As I bring my lips to his quickly, we lose ourselves in another fierce kiss as he brutally fucks me.

I'm standing outside my house the next day, smoking a cigarette, and I glance around, scanning the area with my eyes. I then turn back and look up at my big ass mansion, absorbing it all in as I consider a change.
