My Angel 2

CHAPTER 41

He didn't He kept kissing down my stomach until his face was between my legs. The Artur touching my body wasn't him My nails dug into his shoulder as I pushed him hard. "Artur, stop! I called out louder.

His head snapped up, his eyes laced with a mixture of lust and anger. He looked confused for a second and then cocked his head to the side, giving me a firm look

You're scaring me. What's wrong with you?" I said, pulling away from him. I grabbed the comtorter and pulled it to cover my body. His expression changed to a remorseful one, his eyes flashing with regret.

Artur raked his fingers through his hair almost angrily, although this time he appeared angry at himself.

"Talk to me," I begged, looking at the man I loved struggle with something Inside his head. He flopped down on the bed beside me, staring at the ceiling. Rubbing a hand over his face, a small growl vibrated through his chest.

"Fuck! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Maddie. I don't know what's wrong with me. It drives me fucking crazy when I see him touching you, " he replied through clenched teeth. "His hands were on you, and I wanted to slice them off his body.

Tne image made me go cold. "Artur," I snapped. He turned to face me. We stared at each other in silence before he finally brought his hand up. He palmed my cheek gently, a soft look in his eyes.

"I hate that he had you first, he whispered. I flinched at the reminder and pulled away from him. "You promised that you would never bring this up. It's in the past. Leave it there, Artur. You have me now. I chose you.

"I know," he murmured. Then stop thinking so hard. Please, Artur. Don't let Phoenix get between us. I left him in the past, and you need to do the same thing. I begged.

Even as I said the words, my mind screamed lies. Did I really leave Phoenix in the past? Was I really over him?

I loved Artur. I chose him. But when I thought Phoenix was hurt tonight, it felt like my heart was going to split into two.

Is it possible to still feel that way after so many years. I stared down at Artur and felt my heart expand just a little bit more. This man has stood beside me when I needed him the most-when Pnoenix wasn't there for me.

Artur was there for me when Phoenix left me broken. Leaning forward, I kissed Artur slowly. He groaned into my lips and returnednthe kiss with the same fervor. When I pulled away, a small smile played across my lips. My heart didn't feel as heavy anymore.

Moving my fingers through his hair, I smiled down at him. "I need the bathroom. Be right back, "I mumbled before jumping off the bed.

I closed the door behind me and went to the sink. Staring at my reilection, quickiy combed my hair. And then washed my face.

I wrapped the white robe around me and took a deep breath. I pushed hard...harder than before. I pushed Phoenix out ot my head and heart. I refused to think of him. Of us.

Artur was the one I needed. The man I loved. Now I just needed the courage to tell him. I had dragged this out for too long. He needed to know how I truly felt.

Since Ayla's kidnapping, we had drifted apart, but I needed us again. I also learned that love shouldn't be kept to ourselves. Alessio and Ayla loved each other, but they never had the chance to say it. My heart ached for them, for what both of them were going through, I didn't want the same between Artur and me.

We didn't need the words, but I wanted to say it. I didn't want Artur to think that I didn't love him enough. He had to know how much he meant to me. Because anyway, we were about to take another step together.
