Femme fatale in the Devil's territory

Something I have to say

A/N in this chapter she is the definition of a Boss. Who said women can't be leaders?

"And the decision is the one fit for you to make, which is..."

"Which is to go back to him."- I say.

"That's what I thought too."-I hear her voice say.-"I'm counting on you and I know you are going to make this right."

Let's hope so.

I take the first flight to New York and in a few hours I was there. I wasn't thinking of waisting anymore time, I had to see him..

As the taxi was driving to his house I was starting to feel nervous. What was I going to say to him? For the first time in my life I have done something I never thought I would do before. I had looked back and I had turned back. All this because of him.. now I'm sure.

Ryan's POV

I was going to lose this battle, a battle I wasn't even trying to win. Why should I? I have lost something far more important.

I climb the stairs and see all my men gathered. There were more than two hundred people looking at me, counting on me. And I couldn't help them because I had become weak.

I gather some strength and speak to them:"I know that there has been a lot of damaging in our territory, but luckily none of you has been hurt. That's why I am taking this opportunity to tell you all to leave before it is too late. You know that I won't fight because the conditions don't let me, at least save yourselves."

"We will never leave you sir, no matter what."-I hear someone say.

That made me proud and happy, but at the same time worried. We all know what happens to the soldiers without a leader, no matter how big that army is.

"You have all been my strength for a long time. With you I never thought that I would fight a battle alone and I haven't. We have enjoyed our victories together and in any case of loosing we have helped each other get up. But I can't tell you to fight for me, not this time. This time I have to fight alone.. this time I need to loose.."

"Think again."-I hear a voice behind me. No.. it can't be.. It's...

I turn my head and see someone I never thought I would see ever again. She was standing there against the wall smiling at me. Just by doing that I feel myself get stronger.

Still not believing it I walk towards her. I had to see touch her, I had to feel her. Sometimes when I felt pain she should appear like a mirage and trick me into believing she was real, but than she would disappear. This time I need to know it's really her.

She wasn't disappearing, she was still there. I touch her cheek... she was real! She had come back!

"I tried to bleed you out of my body, but you had already planted roots in my heart. Removing you will be the death of me."-she says her eyes teary.

Then she hugs me and I hug her back burying my hear in her neck feeling her scent, the scent that was missing throughout all this time.

She pulls back and looks into my eyes, then we kiss. It was the kind of kiss that you crave, like water after a trip in the desert. Her lips were the only thing that could end my thirst and I wanted to get as much as I could.

I grab her hand and look at her again.

"You came back, I never thought you would."

"I guess I am not as selfish as I thought."-she says smiling.-"Are you ready to win this battle?"

"Of course, now I have all the strength that I need."-I reply then I turn to my people.

"Okay everyone listen up! There has been a change of plans. We will fight and we will win. Let's show these sons of bitches our power."-I say and I'm greeted with their enthusiasm.

Then I turn back to her.

"I still can't believe you are here."-I say.

"I can, I look at you and I realize that I don't regret anything I have ever done because it was a path that led me towards you."-she says and I kiss her again.

"I love you."-I say to her.

"I love you too."-she says sealing my fate.

We get into our cars and go where we are supposed to be. Through the entire drive she didn't let go of my hand. I was her strength and she was mine.

She turns her head and looks at me:"I figured everything out well, with a little help.. You were ready to sacrifice everything for me and I left. I'm sorry."-she says looking sad.

I couldn't believe her. I was the one that pointed a gun at her and she was the one apologizing.

"There is nothing you should apologize about. If there is someone who should apologize is me."-I say and kiss her hand.

"No, it's not your fault."-she says.

"Don't worry we will take our apology from the man responsible for this."-I say to her reminding myself about what we had to do now.
