I stand up, put her clothes back on, sit down on the couch and pull her sideways onto my lap.

»I'm so relieved to have you in my arms again...I was terrified...«

I brush a stray strand behind her ear.

»I'm so sorry...«, she breaths and the sad look of regret in her eyes kills me.

»No, Sweetie. It's not your fault.«

»It is! I panicked...I panicked when I woke up in your bed, afraid that I would grow feelings that would kill me from the inside out because you would never be able to reciprocate and I just ran away...«

My heart breaks when I see the tears in her eyes and I can't hold back any longer.

»Sweetie, look at me...«

I tilt her chin up with my finger so she has to look into my eyes.

»I know we don't know each other for long. At least if we ignore the information about our past together we can't remember. But I guess it has a lot to do with how drawn we are to each other. And, let me make this clear, it's not just you. You have no idea how afraid I was, how terrified when I found out those assholes got you. It drove me crazy. Insane. I didn't know what I'd do if they...if you...«

I close my eyes for a moment and swallow hard, before I look into her eyes again.

»I would have done anything...really anything to get you back. To keep you safe. It was all I could think about, all I cared about. Nothing mattered but you. I realized I couldn't stand the thought of losing you. That you are so much more to me than a beautiful woman. So much more than that damn aethercore. I don't give a fuck about it anymore. I wasn't giving a fuck about mine, either. I can't stop thinking about you, Sweetie. Every goddamn second of my day and even in my dreams. You're always on my mind. Always. From the moment you said the first words to me. You're my stubborn, feisty little kitten. My sweet girl. My beautiful, strong and powerful woman...«

Her breathing hitches with every word, her eyes are glued to mine, looking at me in disbelieve.

»Sylus...«

»The only thing that matters to me is you, Sweetie. Only you. I tried to fight it, tried to put it away as sexual attraction and challenging banters I enjoy. But it's a fucking lie. I'm at your feet. You're a queen I want to worship, serve, spoil...I want to make you happy so I can cherish this gorgous smile that spreads on your face I can't get enough of. I picture you in my bed, my shower, my car, my jet, but more than anything else in my arms. Every day. That's the truth. I never said any of this to anyone. You're the first person I feel this way. The first who makes me truely vulnerable. But I don't mind. So, don't ever think I couldn't reciprocate those feelings. Because it's already done. You made me fall for you, Sweetie.«

I can see and feel that she stopped breathing...

»I'm absolutely and insanely in love with you...«
