Page 60 of The Lord who Seduced Me
Rose let out a moan as he joined with her and surged inside her, his strokes slow at first, letting them feel how connected they were.
Rose loved feeling him move inside her, and he hit something inside her that made her eyes roll back in her head.
“Harder, Cabe. Harder.”
Cabe snarled out, “With pleasure.”
And he fucked in and out of her, his hips leaving fingerprints on her soft skin as he thrust deep inside her, harder and faster until she was arching, her climax hitting her full force.
She cried out his name and he grunted as her climax hit. She could feel her inner muscles squeezing his cock and he finally let go with a low groan of her name.
He gathered her up in his arms, their bodies sticking together, sweaty and hot.
“I love you Rose; I love you.”
Rose gasped and felt her eyes fill with tears, “I love you too Cabe. Please don’t leave me.”
Cabe went stiff, “I have to. I hate it, you should know that Rose. I do not want to leave you. Never again, if it were up to me, but he must be stopped Rose. Especially now. He wants to take you from me, take your life. I would sacrifice mine over and over to keep you from that. To not have you in pain at all. If I cannot find him, I will come for you. And never again will his name cross my lips. Just let me try. I have to try Rose. To protect you, to protect your family.”
Rose held him tightly to her. Her skin was cooling, but he was still inside her and she never wanted him to leave.
“I don’t ever want you to sacrifice yourself. I am not,” Cabe kissed her hard.
“Don’t you dare say you aren’t worth it. Those words never come from your lips do you hear?” He said, his voice hard.
She nodded, and he continued. “You are worth everything. You are everything. Do you understand me? You are the only person in my life I need. The only one who makes me feel as if I can do impossible things. If I had known you were out there earlier, I would have never been on that ship. I would have been by your side always. Been the person you should have had for years. Protected you from the pain of your past. I will fix it Rose. And after that? You will be sick of me, as I will never leave your side.”
Rose felt a tear slip free. Hearing him say such things was something she had always longed for, but he was leaving. For who knows how long.
It broke her. Broke something inside of her. She went quiet in his arms and he noticed. Putting his finger under her chin, he raised her face to look at him, but she squeezed her eyes shut.
She could not look at him. Not now. “Rose? Look at me.” She shook her head, and he cupped her chin, then kissed her softly. “Look at me. I need to see your eyes.”
She finally looked into the brown depths and she felt more tears slide free. His face held so much compassion, worry and love that Rose let out a sob.
“What is wrong love?” He asked, his voice soft.
“You. You are saying these things to me, telling me of your love, but knowing you must leave me is too much to bear Cabe. Hearing that you might not come back to me is the worst punishment I can imagine, and I hate it. Hate that I must be without you. That this might be it for us. That you might not come back to me and I will have to live my life alone.”
She sobbed out the last word and he pulled her close. “I know Rose. I know. I have had to know that I might not come back to you for an exceptionally long time. And it broke me. I want nothing more than to run away with you and not return. Ever. But I am not a coward. And I do not want anything to happen to your family. The Renegade would not hesitate to hurt any of them, all because I ran. I cannot do that to you, or to them. I must do this Rose. If I live, you and I are never going to be apart ever again.”
Rose nodded, “I love you Cabe. So much. Please, please, please come back to me. I need you. You are the love of my life. My world. Please Cabe.”
Cabe nodded, “I will do my best my love. I promise. I swear on my life, on my soul that I will do all I can to make it back to you. I never had someone to fight for. I do now.”
Cabe took her mouth again and made love to her all over again.

When she woke the next morning, Cabe was gone and all that was left of him was an indent on his pillow, his scent that he left behind and a letter beside her head. She sat up, clutching the covers to her chest and read his letter.
My Love,
Writing this letter and leaving your warm, perfect body has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my entire life. I already hate every moment of being apart from you, and I need you to know and remember that I love you. Please take care of yourself and be safe. Do not take any unnecessary risks. Spend your time with your family and I will come back as soon as I am able. Know that all of my thoughts are and will be of you while I am away from your side. And I know deep in my soul that you are the reason I will win this fight, because I finally have a real reason to come back. It has always been you. Even back then with me not knowing who you were, not knowing you were even out there, I always dreamed, hoped, and thought there was an angel out there for me. Someone that was made just for me. That I could claim and make mine. And then I found you. From the very first moment I saw you, I knew you were the one for me and you have no idea how hard it was for me to not drop to my knees and worship you, kiss you, claim you right then and there. But that would have been frowned upon and your brothers would have beat me within an inch of my life. I had to refrain, and I should have been awarded a medal for how long I waited to claim you. When every single day I longed to make you mine. I love you Rose. I always have and always will. If I do not survive this war, I only ask for you to live. To be happy and know I did my best to make it back to you again. I love you more than life itself Rose. You are my reason for living and my soul.
You hold my heart in your hands and I will never give it up. Never set you free. Because you will never be free of me either. I will be in your heart even if I am not there in spirit.
Yours always,
