‘I know you only want to protect me. But believe me, she can’t hurt me anymore. Those times are gone.’ He said nothing out loud, only nodded, and closing his eyes, kissed her with passion. ‘You don’t need to worry about me so much. I’m not as breakable as you think,’ Lana whispered between kisses. ‘I’ve become more trained, believe me! I’ve learned to handle people’s malevolence.’
‘Don’t ask me not to worry about you or not to care about you. I’ll never be capable of that,’ Hayden shook his head with a smile. ‘I will worry myself sick about you during every minute you don’t spend with me.” He lifted his hands and raised his shoulders, like someone who had no power to change the state of things.
