Cole walked away and I tried to run after him, but Dominik yanked me back to his body, trapping me in his arms. "Let go!" I growled, with all my strength trying to get out of his grip and run after the man I don't ever want to lose. Cole has become someone I adore dearly even if I hadn't admitted it to myself yet.
"You aren't running after him! You and I are forever, he will never be good enough for you. I'm the only one who's ever going to love you the way you deserve." He pressed his lips hard against mine, I pulled away and slapped him across the face. I gasped as Dominik pushed me up against the wall.
"Fucking do that again stupid bitch I fucking dare you!" He wrapped his hand around my neck and squeezed, I wanted to reach for the pager Cole gave me, but I also didn't want Dominik finding out about it, so I waited till he turned around or looked away.
"I don't love you!" I croaked, he threw his head back and laughed.
"Then I'll make you love me again." He said slowly crushing my windpipe.
"Please." Please was the only word I was able to get out of my mouth, he was killing me.
"I think there is only one thing you can do." He lifted his eyebrows and stared straight into my soul. I couldn't answer because I was barely able to breath, I wanted to yell and hit that stupid button. "Cry." He said, the thing is, I was already tearing up but when he told me to cry it set me off, a flood of tears ran down my face. He kissed my tears and put his forehead on mine. I reached down and grabbed the pager from my pocket and clicked the button a thousand times. I wanted...no I needed Cole; I need him here with me keeping me safe. I wasn't sure if he was coming but I needed to do something before Dominik actually kills me so I did what anyone in my position would do, I kicked him with my knee in his private area making him loosen his grip and hiss in pain. "Why do you keep fighting?!" He slammed me harder against the wall making me yelp. He grabbed a hold on my wrists and held them above my head with one hand. He put his lips on my neck, nibbling and sucking on it. I started to press the button again till Cole barged in looking calm with a bit of rage behind the mask.
"Sorry to interrupt but you know I'm here to protect her, and I don't care that she's yours and it looks to me that you're hurting her." Dominik stopped to look at Cole with anger.
"She's fine." Dominik growled.
"Doesn't look like it. Take your hands off of her Dominik or we will have more problems." Cole said sliding his hand near his gun.
"Don't challenge me again you fool!" Dominik said beginning to pop his knuckles.
"I'll do it if I have to." Cole said rolling his head back loosening up.
"Guys don't." I said weakly.
"You called for me and I am to protect you, I told you that I would." My heart skipped a beat because I'm falling in love with this man and he's putting himself in danger for me while I do nothing. "Dominik put your hands up where I can see them." Cole pulled his gun out in one swift move, Dominik stepped away from me and put his hands up. "You, okay?" Cole kept his gun out pointing at Dominik but looked at me as I stood there sobbing. He caressed my cheek with the hand that wasn't holding the gun.
"Get your hands off my woman!" Dominik lunged over to Cole and put his hand over Cole's shoulder, but Cole caught his arm, twisted it and kicked him down to the floor.
"You don't own me! Don't forget I'm a police officer and I can charge you for assaulting one!" Cole growled through his teeth. Dominik gave Cole a dark stare like he was about to kill him with his bare hands. Dominik picked himself up and stormed out of the house and slammed the door on his way out.
"You're just going to let him leave?" I asked, "Maybe it's better if we...if we...stop seeing each-" he cut me off.
"No. I'm not going to leave you alone with him. I promised to take care of you and that's what I'll do." He pulled me into a hug, and I held him tight like he was going to leave, he also held me like I was going to slip away.
"He's not going to leave my son and I alone you know. He wants to kill you. I don't want you to get hurt because of me." I mumbled into his shirt, holding him tighter.
"I won't get hurt and just know if anything happens to me it's because of him it wouldn't be your fault." He whispered.
"Yes, it would because this is all because of me. I should just marry him to keep you safe." I said sobbing into is shoulder.
"No, it wouldn't and don't joke about that. The thought itself makes me want to rip my hair out. He's insane and you know that."
"Cole, I'm scared." I whispered.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm here and I'll always be here to protect you." He whispered; I looked up into his eyes.
"I love you." He bent down and planted a soft kiss on my lips. He then pulled me into a tight hug still not saying a word back. I held him back tighter. This is what real love felt like. It wasn't like the relationship I had with Dominik. He didn't say it back, but I didn't mind, I needed him to know that I did love him. I fell out of love with Dominik a long time ago, it was right when he laid his hands on me that threw me out. I just hope that Dominik doesn't decide one day to pull the trigger and pump lead into Cole's body.
