Rian POV
I panicked. I didn’t know what else to do. I don’t want to lose her. I don’t want to make her run away. I want to bind her to me and have her always by my side. I want to cling to her, forcing her to see only me, love only me, be with only me. I never want another man to have more influence over her than me.
“The only one hurting me is you.”
Those words froze my heart. My heart then dropped. I don’t want to hurt her. I never wanted to cause her pain, but the glistening tears in her beautiful eyes told me that I had failed. I failed once again to do the most basic of acts to the one I love. I have been failing endlessly from the start.
I love her. I know I do. She’s my very soul, but my fear that she will never see me the same way caused me to react badly over and over again.
