Going Deep (Imperfect Love, #2)

by Nikki Ash

“Stay the night with me.” Her eyes go wide. “Not for sex. Let’s have dinner, watch some crappy television, and when we’re tired, we’ll go to sleep.” “Why?” she asks. “Because when you’re around I don’t feel so broken or lonely.”

“When you can’t look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark,”

She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. “Killian,” I whisper, my throat clogged with heavy emotion. “Everybody is broken, Giselle,” he says, “but not everybody handles it with such strength and beauty.”

“I told her I couldn’t continue to let you pay for my services. That when you fall in love with a man …” She chokes on a sob. “When you fall in love with a man, you don’t request payment from him.” It takes a second for what she said to soak into my brain … Fuck. Me. She quit her job. For me. She’s fallen in love with me.

“Please forgive me. I was a damn fool. A fool who was too blinded by his love for you to see that you were always mine.” “You love me too?” she whispers. A single tear escapes down her cheek and I use my thumb to wipe it away. “I do. I love you, baby.”

“My seed dripping out of your cunt and running down the inside of your thigh.”

“Will you throw the ball to me, baby?” I ask her, holding the ring up for her to see.

We’re all broken, filled with imperfections, scars from the wounds life has inflicted on us. “Being with you has shown me that it’s not about trying to fix the broken, but finding the person you can be broken with. Be broken with me, baby. I can’t play in this game alone. My arms and heart are open. The ball is in your hands. Will you throw it to me?”

“I, Killian Blake, promise to be your best friend, your lover, your protector, your partner. I will cherish you and love you and do everything in my power to make sure you’re happy and never feel lonely. I promise to be broken with you every day for the rest of our lives.”
