Claim my heart and protect me like a bodyguard.
She longs to have a safe space to fall in love—to be vulnerable.
Her entire life has been molded around being the perfect wife for an imperfect man.
Obey your future husband. That was my task.
Who had hurt her? I wanted to know her story.
I wanted to tell her to shut up and let me be her savior, but that might have been too much.
You’re perfect. Say that shit!” He demanded.
The way I would follow this man to the ends of the earth was crazy, and I probably needed to be evaluated for it, but something about Royale London just made me feel safe. The safest I’d ever been in my life.
“I find my peace in knowing that every day I wake up, I’m living the life I chose and breaking the toxic cycle I don’t care to be a part of.”
“Anything you want in this world, I’m gon’ put it in your hands. You understand?”
“Tell me what you want, beautiful,” he whispered.
“To feel protected and have a safe space to fall in love.”
“Heal me then… discover it with me,” I whispered, moving closer to him.
“Tell me you're beautiful!”
“Tell me you're enough!”
“I’m enough! I’m enough!” “Tell me you're worthy of love.” I growled in her ear while thrusting feverishly inside of her.
“It’s only us here, and I’ve already seen all your flaws. They’re beautiful. Let’s go eat!”
“Monroe Iris, will you be my wife?” I opened the black box. Tears rimmed in her eyes like we had been dating for many years. “Yes!” She nodded her head in excitement. “Then I guess we’re getting married, Chocolate.” I slid the ring on her finger then quickly found her lips.
The tears that gathered in the rims of his eyes were that of a man marrying the love of his life.
“Look to one another and remember what brought you here. Your love, yes, but also all the decisions you have made to keep your relationship growing. Remember that you are both deserving of love and worth the effort that goes into loving each other.”
It felt as if I had just married the love of my life.
“Whoever she is, she’s a lucky girl. I’d fight her about that dick, but I don’t think I stand a chance with you on that level.”
Because you said reading brings you peace. This date is with your peace.
I was finally being loved and protected the way a black woman should, and I was looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life with my bodyguard.
