.“I don’t need you to save me.You cannot erase what happened.I know you’re frustrated, but Ronan you cannot just do these things without talking to me first.”Running his hand through his curly locks, he inhaled sharply.“I have two young daughters you know, and the very thought of someone ever hurting them, well that thought keeps me up at night.”I hadn’t even thought about his feelings as a dad.This must be gut-wrenching for him on that level.I wondered what my own father, Jay, would have done if he were alive.It nearly killed my step-father to see me lying broken and battered in that hospital bed.I think that was the second time in my life I’d ever seen the man cry.“I’m sorry Ronan.I didn’t even consider your feelings of concern as a father with Leah and Jade.”He put his arms around me and kissed me on the lips.“I can’t help this feeling I have and this deep need to protect you.I don’t ever want anyone to hurt you again.”I sighed.“You aren’t always going to be able to protect me from being hurt.What you can do is let me be me, and when a problem arises, we’ll handle it— together.” I pulled my head up, looking him in his beautiful eyes.“I’m serious though Ronan.I don’t want my name associated with the cause.I cannot share my story with the public.I’d love if I never had to tell another soul again – ever.”Ronan pulled back from the embrace he had me wrapped up in, cupping my chin with one hand while looking at me with his dark eyes dazzling.“You’re never going to have to tell that story to anyone or another man ever.I’m the last one.You’re mine, Holliday— my beauty.” Our mouths molded together in a tender kiss that seemed to never end.I woke up to find Ronan was not in the bed beside me.Hearing muffled sounds coming from the living room, I pulled on my silk robe and peeked through the half-open set of French doors that led to the living room from the master suite.Through the picture window I could see that it was snowing again.Standing near the piano, I spied Ronan on his phone.He was staring out the window at the glittering lights of the city.Hearing his low hushed voice, I smiled knowing he was talking to Leah or Jade.It was just after midnight in Manhattan which meant it was just after nine in Los Angeles.His grey cotton pajama bottoms hung low off his hips and his black cotton V-neck hugged his strong toned biceps tightly.Even from the side he looked totally edible.“And you wrapped all the Christmas presents all by yourself? You did a good job, my darling girl.Oh¸ I see, Jade helped you… and mommy too.” He let out a soft chuckle.I pushed the door open quietly and leaned against the doorjamb, eavesdropping.He is a great dad.It made my heart fill with warmth.“Very good Leah, I’ll see you soon.Daddy loves you.Big hugs and lots of kisses.I love you so much.”He slumped his shoulders and inhaled deeply as he ended the call.Turning around slowly, he met my stare, looking quite somber.I could tell he was in pain.“I’m sorry, Holliday.Did I wake you?”“No.” I peered at him with half-hooded eyes.“I just missed you.”Tossing his phone on the couch, he practically ran to scoop me up in his arms.Kissing me deeply, he growled in my mouth.The vibrations rippled through me straight to my core.I wanted this man badly.“Come to California with me Holliday.”“Ronan,” I wailed softly.“You know I can’t do that.” I looked away, resisting the urge to give in and go with him.I just wasn’t sure I could do it.I had to work with Dr.Goodwin on getting over my fear.California was my home; it’s where I grew up.One horrible thing shouldn’t keep me out of an entire state.“My beauty,” Ronan muttered softly.“What will it take to get you to come with me? Extra security? Private jet? Whatever you want, it’s yours.Name it.”I knew if I kept protesting it would turn into a fight, and I would rather spend our last few precious hours together making love not war.“Okay, Ronan, I’ll consider it.” A warm smile was all it took for him to carry me off to his bed and seduce me with his body into the early morning hours.Our bodies twisted with each other as our lips met with deep lush kisses.His body covered mine, and our fingers entangled with every riveting thrust and heart-pounding climax.My body arched above his while I rode the length of him, our eyes breaking contact only for mere seconds as we savored the intense shockwaves coursing through our bodies.Overwhelming tingles shivered down my spine as Ronan snaked his way up my body with his tongue, licking, sucking and gently sweeping his mouth over my stomach.Ronan groaned and I gasped with loud cries of sex filling the room.The orgasms exploded through me like a volcanic eruption.Moments later, Ronan pulled out, causing me to moan at the loss.Panting, trying to regain normal breathing, Ronan kissed the top of my head.“Ronan,” I whispered.“Hmmm,” he murmured softly.“Don’t let go.”“Never, my beauty,” he breathed.“Not ever.You are mine.”Unable to move or speak, I drifted off to sleep.It was just after two in the morning.I was lying in bed unable to sleep as Ronan’s beautiful words rushed through my mind.“You’re never going to have to tell that story to anyone or another man ever.I’m the last one.You’re mine, my beauty
