Sex.
That’s all it was supposed to be. No strings attached, no feelings, no heartache.
But if I thought Sean Riley would be content having only parts of me, I was dead wrong. His persistence wore me down and I found myself in the one situation I was trying to avoid.
Little does he know a life with me will lead to nothing but disappointment and heartbreak. He’s a good man and deserves everything I can’t give him. Not because I don’t want to, but because I’m unable.
Pushing him away in the beginning was to protect me, now I’m trying to protect him as I gear up for the fight of my life.
A fight I could lose.
Getting into a relationship was my risk, but as things get worse, I’m not the only one who will have something to lose.
I just hope it’s worth it.
“Come back to
me,” I finally plead.
She looks into
my eyes and there’s so much pain I can’t stand it. “I don’t know how.” Her
voice is strained as she tries to hold back the tears.
“Let me help
you.” I cup her face and she leans into it.
“I just want to
stop feeling this way and I can’t.” A tear falls down her cheek.
“Like what?”
She pauses and
says, “Empty.”
