Page 57 of Navigating His Heart
He pulled her off to the side, cupping her face in both his hands, “I have never been more scared in my life than I did hearing that you were taken.”
“I know how you feel, but I’m glad you weren’t there. You would have been so angry. And things probably would have happened.”
He leaned down, kissing her, “I heard what you told the cops about Sean wanting you for his wife.”
She nodded, “But you saved me. All because you came into my life and claimed me as yours.”
He kissed her again, “You are mine. All mine. Fuck Avery. I’m so in love with you it’s not even funny. I’m shameless with it. My love for you knows no bounds. I’ll do everything and anything you want. I’ll do anything at all. I can’t walk away from you. I wouldn’t survive it. If I had lost you, I would have followed soon after. You are my world now.”
She blinked the tears away, “I love you too. More than words can even say. You are everything to me Bo. I knew you would come after me. That you would save me. Never once did I waver in that thought. Because I’m yours. Like you said. Like you are mine.”
He nodded, “All yours baby.”
She looked down at the clothes she was wearing, seeing the blood covering them, “I need to shower and burn these clothes. I never want to see them again.”
He kissed her once more, then pulled her the rest of the way to his truck.
The ordeal was over and Ashton could never again find a way to hurt them.
She held onto Bo’s hand, knowing that he was her present and her future.
She was a lucky girl.
CHAPTER10
BO
Hearing everything that was happening on the plane was nothing Bo wanted to hear again.
Will had called them, putting his phone on mute, and Jet started recording the entire thing.
They heard that Ashton had sold, or traded Avery to Sean in order for his debts to be paid and Bo had barely refrained from punching something.
But hearing Avery’s fierce voice say that she was already claimed and taken was something else.
He loved her. Knew it without a single doubt in his mind and when he got her back, he would never let her out of his sight again.
They drove to his apartment building, and he knew that right now was not the time to be a caveman, even though he wanted to so badly.
To throw her over his shoulder and remind her that she belonged to him and he to her.
But right now, she needed a shower, for the clothes she was wearing to be tossed away, and for gentle lovemaking.
Maybe. Maybe there would be no love-making this night.
If all he did was hold her, he was all right with that.
He led her into his bathroom, helping her strip out of her clothes, then turning on his shower.
“I will leave you alone for a bit. Are you hungry?”
She shook her head, stepping into the shower, under the spray.
“I’m not hungry for food. But I do need you. Stay with me. Hold me.”
He stripped out of his clothes in record time, then stepped into the shower with her.
He ignored his throbbing erection that had made itself known the minute she started showing a tiny bit of skin.
