“Jay, we have to end this.” It hurts to say it. Judging by the look on his face it’s crushing him too. I feel tears brimming and struggle to keep my cool. In response, he wraps me in a tender kiss full of love and longing. Pouring every emotion we are both feeling into it. It was everything a goodbye kiss should be. The sweetness of it ripping a hole in my chest and filling it with an aching hunger. How was I going to tell this man why I had to leave him? I felt so drawn to him. In his presence, I was engulfed in a sense of security I’d never before known. He makes me feel safe, mentally and physically. Knowing that he would never hurt me, it pains me to know I have to hurt him. But I’m pregnant with another man's child. There’s no changing that. Not just any man. Matthew is dangerous
