“Let me love you forever,” I say softly. That’s all I want. It’s all I need. “Don’t leave me again.” “Never. I’ll never leave.” A weight lifts off my chest as I crash my lips against hers again, needing to feel her. Needing to show her what she means to me. “I love you, Lucian.” Her words make my eyes slowly open and I stare into those beautiful hazel eyes. “I love you, treasure.”
