Chapter 37: Unwavering Devotion

As Andrew gazed into Lily's eyes, memories flooded his mind: the fiery spirit of her youth, the gentle warmth of Emilia, and the quiet strength of the woman before him.

He took her hands, his voice filled with emotion.

"Lily, from the moment I met you, I knew you were different. Every face, every persona, drew me deeper. I fell in love with you, not just once, but a thousand times."

Lily's expression softened, but her silence lingered.

Undeterred, Andrew continued, "I know I've wronged you, but my love remains unwavering. Can you ever forgive me?"

Lily's eyes searched his, her face a mask of vulnerability. She didn't answer, but her body leaned into his.

In the stillness of the night, they surrendered to their passion. The world outside receded, leaving only the two of them, lost in the depths of their desire.

As they entwined, Andrew felt Lily's walls crumbling, her heart beating in rhythm with his. Yet, even in the intimacy of their embrace, forgiveness remained elusive.

In the aftermath, Lily's silence persisted, a reminder that trust must be earned. Andrew's love, though fierce and true, would have to wait.

As dawn broke, Andrew held Lily close, his whispered promise echoing through the silence: "I'll wait for you, forever if need be. My love, my heart, belongs to you."
