Chapter 110

-Dorothy-

My sudden meltdown seemed to shock Ignatius ent of his anger. He loosened his grip on my arm while I curled up at his. feet, half-sobbing, half-wailing and struggling to take a breath.

Ignatius flexed his fingers, eyeing the red crescents his nails had left in my skin. Ele blanched, his expression both disbelieving and horrified.

“F***-“his words failed him and he pressed his l*ps together, dragging a hand through his hair,

He knelt down beside me, trying to dislodge my arms that I had wrapped tightly around my knees. “Dorothy, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have yelled like that. I’m so sorry.”

I curled myself tighter, gulping in breaths between shaky sols, hadn’t realized just how much I had been holding in, how strenuous it had been to try and hold myself together. I hiccuped and continued to cry while Iguatus sat down beside me, casing te onto his lap

“Lalon’t want to fight,” I warbled while he stroked my forehead. Internally, I berated myself for behaving so childishly. Now

(so was not the time to be bursting into tears. But I couldn’t help myself.

It was all too much. Arguing with my mate, someone who was supposed to be on my side no matter what, was

the last strave,

“I know” Ignatius murmured. He rocked us both slowly, leaning his head down on mine. “Tin sorry. You’re right, Elliot is getting the best of me.”

He cradled my face in his hands, and 1 blinked up at him through teary eyes. I was half-crying when I k*ssed him, clinging tightly to the man that I loved. I traced my fingers along his jawline, over rough stubble and ridge scars. Igantins k*ssed me bark, his hand closing gently around my throat,

After a moment I pulled away, and leaned my head on his chest, breathing deeply. My heart was racing the way it always did when he k*ssed me, but my hands were shaking violently,

I closed my eyes and inhaled, taking in his scent and letting it comfort me, and shakily got to my feet.

“I should go. We don’t have time for this,”

The last thing I wanted to do was leave the comfort of my mate embrace, but I was ashamed at my sudden moment of weakness, and frustrated with both myself and Ignatius.

Ignatius didn’t respond, but he reached for me as I stepped away before catching himself and withdrawing his hand. “Dorothy, I don’t want to end things like this,”

“Then what do you want Ignatius?”

I hadn’t meant to sound so defensive, standing before him with my arms folded tightly over my chest. But Ignatius didn’t take the bait, he had no fight left in him. Instead, he dropped his head to my stomach, wrapping his arms around me from where he knelt on the floor.

My mate, who didn’t kneel for anyb*dy. Ignatius pressed the side of his face to my abdomen, and I struggled to hold back

my tears.

I stood stuff for a moment, before slowly running my fingers through his hair. “You don’t need to push me away to protect me, Ignatius. You don’t have to be alone in this.”

He looked up to respond, but I swallowed his objections, holding his Lace and pressing any l*ps to his with enough force to send the both of us tumbling backwards. I straddled him then and there. Only this time I wasn’t spurred on by the burning drive of alcohol.

I k*ssed him like I might never get to k*ss him again. I k*ssed him like this might be the end. And with our enemies closing in

on all sides, it could have been. There was no way of knowing if an insignificant day might be the last day we had together. How was I to know? What if this was all we got?

I slowed my pace then, and Ignatius responded in kind, k*ssing me gently while I wrapped my arms around his n*eck, l*ps molding against mine.

“This is how it’s supposed to be.” I couldn’t help the sob that shook my b*dy. My emotions were catapulted from angry, to distraught to sudden arousal. It was too quick for me to keep up with.

“This right here.” I pressed my hand to his chest, my l*ps inches from his while he wiped tears from my eyes “This is what I wanted, to be together. We’re supposed to face this together,”

Ignatius stilled and he gripped me tighter. His voice was laced with anguish when he spoke. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry it hasn’t been like this.

His thumb grazed my cheekbone, catching tears that fell freely there. When he k*ssed me again it was slow and full of intent, like he was determined now to give me what I had so long been denied. He hugged my shirt off over my head, fingers tracing up my spine, making me shiver.

He was so cold and distant most of the time, but when we were pressed together, when we clashed after an argument and tensions were high, the heat that radiated off of him was hot enough to bum.

He laced his fingers into my hair, arching my back and pressing his l*ps to the base of my throat. He trailed his l*ps down my sternum, until my head dropped backward and 1 gasped. 1 slid my hands under his button up, running my palins over bare skin. He was thinner than before, and every muscular curve was apparent under my touch. Stress had done a number on both of us, and I was keenly aware of my own protruding collar bone when he brushed his l*ps over it.

His gentle touch kindled something inside of me, setting me alight. I moaned softly when he ground his hips against me, and all the while he watched me unwaveringly, fully focused on me for the first time in a while. He seemed determined to commit my every movement to memory, and he knew exactly where to touch to render me desperate with need.

Ignatius’s hands swept lower, tugging at the seam of my jeans. But I pulled back, breaking the k*ss and closing my hand over his fingers. “Not here, 1 pleaded.

The study was suffocating, and I wanted to see my mate under the moonlight. “Out there”””

The sun had set no too long ago, and Ignatius followed my gaze out of the open window, at the forest bathed in silvery light and the stars that blinked in the clear, inky black sky.

A ghost of a smile played on his l*ps and Ignatius cupped my face in his palm. “Alright. Out there. Let’s go.”
