When The Wrong One Loves You Right 3: Forever And Always

Chapter 63: Without Me

Vince's POV.

I pulled the door closed to Ana's room and took a deep breath. A large part of me want to turn around and go right back inside. I could hear them talking but I couldn't make out the words. I hesitated for a moment leaning on the door before going in my own room and sitting on the edge of my bed.

Why did this have to be so hard? Why couldn't she have married me? I would have given her a better life than Sandro did. She would have been my sidekick, in on all the action. She would have been my lover. She would have been my queen. But most important, she would have been mine. Why didn't she want to be with me then?

I could see her jealousy last night when I told her about Sophia. That's what I wanted. Sophia meant nothing to me but I saw how I'd hurt her when I'd said I need to find my own happiness. I'm stupid for thinking that was the best way to say it. She hated me last night.

Why did I think that both of us cheating was the solution? I told her I couldn't share and that was the truth.  I was jealous that Maliki would be holding her tonight. Now all I wanted was to go back in her room on crawl in bed next to her. I was going to make Ana fall back in love with me, and then I would take her away from all of this. My family would understand. We could live anywhere we wanted and be happy. I'd find some small town far away from all of this and I'd build my queen a castle like my father had done for my mother. She would be mine again. We'd take the smaller kids with us. We would be a family.

I felt Sophia as moved across the bed and sit on her knees behind me. She wrapped her arms around me laid her head on my back.

"What's on your mind?" She asked. "You haven't said two words to me since you got back."

"Ana." I said answering honestly.

"What about her?"

"I'm thinking about how much I trust Maliki. I just left them alone in her bedroom."

"I'm sure they're okay." She said kissing my neck.

"I hope so. If he hurts her, I don't know what I'll do to him."

"I thought I was going to get to meet her today." Sophia said. "I didn't get a proper introduction, but she didn't seem like she likes me very much."

"That's not it, it was just a long day and she had to face people who hurt her in the past. Give her some time. I'm sure when she gets in the routine of her life again she will be best friends with you."

"You think so?" She said pressing herself closer to me and nipping at my skin.

"I do. She will love you."

"Do I need to be scared of her?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is she going to steal you from me?"

"No. Ana is happily married. She has no reason to steal me from you."

"What if she doesn't like me? I watched her fight with a guy three times her size and she had him on the floor in less than ten seconds and she almost broke his arm the second time."

"She won't hurt you if that's what you're asking."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am sure. Can we stop talking about Ana now and get some sleep?"

"I would love that. I've missed you since you left."

"I'm going to take a shower and then I'll come sleep with you."

"Okay, but don't take to long. I want to fall asleep in your arms."

I stood up and kissed Sophia before I retreated to the bathroom.  I locked the door behind me and turned the shower on. I knew she was trying to seduce me but that was something I'd already told her wouldn't be in our relationship until we were married. A marriage that I knew secretly would never happen.

Even if I wanted to just to distract myself, I couldn't. I had to wash the day off of me. I had to wash Ana's smell off of me, though I didn't want to. Truth be told I also wanted to hide from Sophia so I could cry. I never wanted her to see this side of me. The side that was in love with Ana. The side of me that was vulnerable.

I stripped down and stared at myself in the mirror for a moment. My eyes had fallen on my tattoo of Ana's locket over my heart. I placed my hand over it felling my chest tighten.

"Forever and always." I said to myself making the promise to my Ana again.

That's what we'd promised each other. She was suppose to be mine, exclusively. I was supposed to be hers, no matter what.

I turned from the mirror to take my shower.  The hot water felt good, but nothing could clean my conscience. Ana stayed in my mind as I showered. Memories of her fulled me to touch myself. I thought about how she felt earlier. She felt so good. Her soft pink flesh surrounding me as I entered her body. Seeing her heart beat under her perfect breasts. Feeling her soft smooth skin brush mine. Her fingers trebling against my skin. Her back stretched out in front of me as she leaned on the dash of my. Her thighs on mine as she bounced on top of me. Her body pressed to my chest moments later as she breathed heavily.

I closed my eyes tight letting my seed flow down the drain with the water as it cooled.  I breathed a sigh as my climax ended and leaned on the shower wall for a moment to catch my breath.

I finished washing and dressed for bed. When I entered the bedroom I noticed Sophia had fallen asleep. I'm glad I'd stayed in there as long as I had. I didn't want to ward off another of her attempts to seduce me.

I climbed in bed and got comfortable. Just as I got settled when I heard the thunder clap. If Maliki did what I asked him and kept Ana in her room I knew she wouldn't be getting any sleep. I was sure she'll be in soon to cuddle up next to me like she used to. I wanted her to. All I'd have to do is wait.

I looked at the clock every ten minutes for two hours, no Ana. That's when I decided I should just go check on her. By now she must be exhausted. Maliki probably had a migraine from listening to her cry.

I crept across the hall to Ana's room stopping for a moment to listen at the door. I opened it slowly. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw, or rather didn't when I opened the door. I thought I'd see my Ana crying through the storm. Sandro had complained to me weeks before her accident, she still hadn't slept when it's storming. This was the complete opposite of that. The room was calm and quiet.

What I saw when I neared the bed made me angry. Maliki was basically naked and my Ana was nowhere in sight. I swore at myself internally for deciding this was a good idea. Maliki would have a piece of my mind in the morning but for now he would would be waking up to help me look for her. I kicked the bed hard, a sudden surge of panic bolting through my body. I clenched my jaw and tried to calm myself down as Maliki sat up quickly still half asleep.

"Get the fuck up and help me find her." I growled.

We began checking all of my brothers room quietly and swept through the house until there was nowhere left to check. No where but my father's room.

I walked in the room alone. At first I believed my eyes deceived me. My Ana laid there facing my father's chest on top of the comforter wearing nothing but a sports bra and short shorts. Both of her bare legs were tucked between his blanket clad knees. His arms locked around her tightly. If I woke my dad up right now I would wake Ana up as well and as upset as this made me, I didn't dare ruin her sleep after what she had just lived through. She looked so peaceful cuddled against my father. I knew she'd be safe with him. I knew nothing would happen between them. I grab a blanket from the chest at the end of the bed and covered Ana. She turned slightly opening her eyes.

"Thanks Vinny." She whispered falling back asleep instantly."

I went back down the hall angrily and climbed back in my bed. I began to wonder why Ana had gone to my father's room. Did Maliki do something? Did he touch her? If he did would she liked it if he did? Would they both lie to me if I asked? I laid there torturing myself with unrealistic scenarios until I forgot what I was angry about and found a place to relax deep inside my mind.
