Breaking Boundaries

Chapter 41 - "Never forget."

"So where are we going? What's the job?" Rapid conversation change.

"You mean he hasn't told you?" The sarcastic tone in his voice is ringing in my ears, what the hell hasn't Hunter told me this time? His back is facing me, he smells so damn good. I can't focus...

"Told me what?" I say between clearing my throat, erasing the sinful thoughts that are racing through my mind right now - the ass. He's obsessed with my ass .... but how did I never notice how good his looks? Talk about peachy...

"Are you even fucking listening, princess?"
His voice snaps me back into reality. I hope he didn't notice...

"Yes. Sorry I have a lot on my mind I was day dreaming." Lies, I was thinking about you, and that ass...

"The job is two nights, tonight we go and watch them and then tomorrow we go in on them" he says casually, before putting on his thinking expression and scanning my face. "Princess, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were checking me out just now?"
And there he is, the arrogant asshole I despise. He's back.

"Sorry, yes I couldn't help myself." I say in flirtatious manner. He has to be joking? He cannot be serious... well, I was checking him out, right? Not that I want to, hell, I hate him right now.. sorta...

"Sarcasm just makes you even sexier, peachy. Now get in the car we're ready." And with that he walks out ....his scent whiffs past me and I swear, the minute it fills my nostrils my legs are weak for him, fuck, my whole body is weak for him. Not sex. Just him. How am I going to survive this? When all I want is a cuddle from him, for him to make everything better ...

The car ride is awkward, no conversation at all. Just the odd slight whist of his hand floating past my leg when he reaches for the gear stick, Electric, that's how it feels. Does he feel it too? Does he smell my perfume and wonder the same things I do? Does he want me to make everything better for him? Does he need me? The way I need him? Part of me hopes so..

Gino's POV
Seeing her hurts. Hurts like crazy, I didn't want to leave her, fuck, I wanted to come back for her so many times. She's my Lee, MY LEE. I'm the only one that can hold her and make everything better, there was a time when that effect was only gathered through sex but it became more.. not just for her, no. She always thought I was taking away her pain but it was the other way around. Just being in her presence heals me somewhat. Just having her near helps.

I don't know exactly what Hunter's plan is, why the fuck would he put us back together? Knowing how dangerous that could be? I know he has an underlying motif. But what?
I don't even care, I'm here - with my Lee.

I purposely keep swiping my hand across her leg when I reach for the gear stick, why? Because it's fucking electric. Her touch, no - our touch together - it hits me, it gets me. All I want is to hold her, breathe in her scent, play with her golden brown hair which has its very own unforgettable scent. I'd never forget. I'd never forget a single detail about her. The way she unknowingly bites her bottom lip when she's aroused, nervous or embarrassed. The way she turns over the pillow frequently throughout the night just to hit the cold side, the dimples in her cheeks and the ones at the bottom of her back. I could never forget.

I wonder if she's thinking the same? Or does she hate me? I told her I loved her ..then left her. I have no excuse for that. I thought I was protecting her from me I guess? But she doesn't need to be kept away from me. I see that now. She needs me to protect her. From what? Everything. Hunter, Logan, her mother. Everything. She's more fucked up than I first thought, she's hurt in so many ways. Broken. Just like me, that is why, why we are meant to be together. So that we can both take away each other's pain, so that we can both forget...
