“Then what’s your plan now?” she asks.
“You.”
“M-me?”
“Yes, you. Wherever you go, I go.”
“Come on. You must have some dream in mind. Do you still like reading the economic part of the news?”
“Yes, I do.”
“So you’re following business?”
“Probably, but only if it doesn’t keep me away from you.”
“Of course it wouldn’t. Besides, sacrifices need to be made for success.”
“The only sacrifice I’m making is the rehab. I mean, healing, not sacrifice.”
Her expression falls and her deep green eyes fill with wretchedness.
“When are you going?” she asks in a small voice.
“Tomorrow.”
“That soon?” Her words break at the end.
“Yeah, Lewis Knight’s friends work fast.”
“They do.”
“I’m sorry.”
I also don’t want to leave this soon, but I have to do it anyway, so I might as well rip it as a Band-Aid.
“Don’t be.” She leans over and brushes her lips against mine. “I’m proud of you.”
“I’m proud of you, too, Green.”
A tear falls down her cheek and she wipes it away quickly.
I cup her chin. “Hey, what is it?”
“It’s just, I waited so long to hear you say something like that to me.”
I kiss her tear away. “From now on, you’ll be hearing it the entire fucking time. You’re mine, Green, and I’ll protect you with my life.”
“I’ll protect you, too.”
“Is that so? From who?”
“From yourself. From the world. From anyone who tries to harm you.”
“So you’re like my knight now?”
“Uh-huh. Get used to it.”
“Let me see about that.” I pull her to me and lift her leg so I can slide my dick into her cunt.
