Belongs To Him

Her eyes were closed as she rested against my chest muffling back sobs. I wanted to take all her pain away from her. She didn't deserve to feel this way. She'd done nothing wrong, my stupid parents wreck all the light in the darkness of my life.

I didn't know I wanted children until Alina. There are things beyond her that I'm not ready to dig up. I'm such a fuck up in ways that I didn't want to fuck up some innocent child further. But Alina, god the type of mother she'd be. With her it wouldn't be scary, I wouldn't be afraid. I would be able to take on the world with her.

She changed everything. The second I met her all those years ago, the way my heart felt. Nothing has ever been the same since that night. My mind raced around her for years, a girl whose name I didn't fully have.

I didn't know her. I wished I did and like some delusional person I sat in a daydream of us. But I knew that what would be, would be. It wasn't my place to meddle in her life and make a way in forcefully. She had a boyfriend and a life.

Even though I was heartbroken she'd found someone, I was willing to let her go to be happy. That if she married him maybe I'd just be acceptance. Yet when my PI reported back to me that she declined his proposal. I knew I had to make a move before she slipped out from me.

For her to say that she was a mistake. To insinuate she was anything beneath me when she was she was undeniably far beyond my league. I was just the lucky bastard who got to call her mine. It ate at my heart and wounded me on the inside.

Offering me an out feels like a thousand shards to the heart. I could never tell her how much I wanted her. What I did to get her to make sure that she belonged to me.

It would scare her, knowing it goes far beyond her knowledge. That I'd been watching her for years, to make sure she was safe. To make sure she was happy and healthy, protected. I wasn't watching her myself, Antony was.

He's saved her countless times. His presence was one he sleuthed by with. He'd been my personal guard for years, but when I met Alina. I found myself scrambling to watch her. I had minimal knowledge of her, yet she was like some prized possession. I'd been thinking of her day and night for years.

What it would be like to hold her hand as we walked. How it would be holding her tight by the waist as she leaned in. What her laughter sounded like when in one piece. The scent of her perfume lingering on my clothing each day before work.

That mixture of vanilla and a hint of lavender. It was a scent that drove me crazy and when I figured out the bottle. I stopped myself from purchasing, because that was too far, that was insanity.

The only woman in the world I would ever breathe for is Alina Romano. She is the simple essence of life that keeps the world spinning and my heart beating. I would anything in my power to keep her safe and warm. No matter what the cost, because she belongs to me.

Her nose grazed my chest as she let out another sob and I trapped her in my arms. Her chest caving as it fades into sniffles. She mumbled about feeling embarrassed, it was pure nonsense. She should never feel embarrassed around me.

I whisper sweet nothings into her ear as I hold her tight in promise. I do not care if we are never blessed with children because I was already blessed with her. I'd never ask more than I am given and I've already found a life with her. She just has yet to realize she is all I need and nothing else.
