“Your choice, Goldie." My voice comes out steadier than I feel. "It's me or him. You walk down that aisle, there is no turning back. If you do that, I won’t let you back into my heart.”

“Please, baby." He turns to me, his eyes are red. "Don't marry him. I can deal with most things. I've dealt with the fake engagement. The business deal. The lying. Sleeping alone while you sleep under his roof. I've dealt with all of it." He steps closer. His hand reaches for my face and then drops, like he's not sure he's allowed to touch me anymore. "But marrying him? For real? Taking his name. Walking down an aisle. Standing in front of people and saying vows to a man you don't love. Him kissing you after you say I do." His voice breaks. "Well, I fucking don't, baby. I don't. I can't give you permission for that. I can't sit in this house and know that you belong to someone else, even on paper, even for a day. Because it won't feel like paper to me. It'll feel like losing you. Again. For real this time." Tears are streaming down my face. I can't stop them. I'm not even trying anymore. “I’m begging you, don’t do this. Don’t marry him. Please let me be the only man you walk down the aisle to.”  "I'm annulling it the second the company is his," I say. But my voice is small, a whisper in a hurricane. He visibly flinches at my words.  "I never thought I'd have to say this, Goldie." He stops and takes a breath so deep it fills the room. "But you just found my hard limit." The words land and nearly choke me.  "If you marry Hudson, we're over. There is no coming back to me after that." My mouth drops open. The floor disappears. The room tilts, and I'm falling through it, through every plan I made and every lie I told and every sacrifice I thought I was making to protect him. "Please, Ace. Don't do this." "It's not me doing this, Harper. It's you. You're choosing.”

“She hasn't. I know she hasn't. Because I'm pretty sure when my soul mate moves on, I'll fuckin' drop dead. I'll be out on a bull, and my heart will just stop, and that'll be it—Ace Sterling, taken out not by two thousand pounds of angry Brahma, but by a five-foot-six journalist with honey-blonde hair and a smile that could end wars.”

“It has never been anyone else, Ace.” My voice cracks, and I let it. “It hurt me too. I thought it was the right thing to do for both of us. And I’m sorry. I fucked that up. I keep fucking it up. I’ll probably continue to do so, because that is who I am.” I swallow. “But that doesn’t change the fact. It will always be you. You don’t just fit in the picture, Ace. You are the entire goddamn painting.”

“I love you,” I tell her. “I’ve loved you since I was sixteen. I’ll love you until they put me in the ground. But I can’t keep bleeding for something you won’t let me have. I stopped living the day you left me, Harper. But that has to stop.”

“You’ve had your hand around my heart for six years. And you’re squeezing it so tight I can’t breathe. I can’t sleep. I can’t ride, I can’t work, I can’t look at another woman without feeling like I’m cheating on a ghost.” I swallow. “And you won’t be with me. You won’t let me go. You’re keeping me in this place where I can’t move on, and I can’t come home, and I just…”

“Ace—” “Answer me.” Tears roll down her cheeks, and she doesn’t wipe them. She just looks at me with those green eyes, drowning, and her whole body trembling. “I never stopped.” Three words. My whole world tilts. “I never stopped loving you, Ace. Not for one second. Not for one day.”

Not in the past. Not in the future. If there is one damn thing I'm certain of in this life, it's my love for you.”
