HIS INNOCENT DOLL Forty One (End)
Just before the ceremony officially began, Leaf gently tightened his hold around Sahara's hands.There was something in his expression that immediately made her suspicious."What is it?" she asked, narrowing her eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?"Leaf glanced toward the officiant and then at their families gathered along the beach. Lennox stood nearby, proudly holding the rings, completely unaware that his parents were having a serious conversation.When Leaf looked back at her, his expression had changed."There is something I need to tell you."Sahara's smile slowly disappeared."Leaf, you're scaring me."He took a deep breath."When you left Manhattan... I thought our marriage was over."Her eyebrows drew together."Of course, it was over. We separated.""I know.""The divorce papers were prepared.""Yes."She waited."So?"Leaf hesitated."But the divorce was never finalized."For a moment, Sahara simply stared at him."What?""The papers were prepared, Sahara. The proces

For several long seconds, Sahara and Leaf remained exactly where they were, holding on to each other as though neither of them wanted to be the first to let go. The room was quiet. Almost too quiet. Sahara rested her forehead against Leaf's chest, listening to the rapid but slowly calming beat of his heart. Only moments ago, they had finally allowed themselves to be honest. After years of separation, misunderstandings, anger, and longing, they had finally stopped running from what they felt. Leaf gently ran his fingers through her hair. "I still can't believe you're here with me," he whispered. Sahara lifted her head and looked at him. "I could say the same thing about you." A small smile appeared on his lips. "Is that a good thing?" She narrowed her eyes playfully. "Don't push your luck." Leaf laughed softly. The sound made her heart flutter. God, she had missed that sound. "I mean it, doll," Leaf said, his expression gradually becoming serious again. "I kno

The space between them collapses, not with a crash, but with the sudden, inescapable gravity of a dying star pulling light into its core. Leaf’s mouth claims hers, and the contact is electric, a sharp shock that grounds Sahara instantly in the present. His lips move against hers with a desperation that matches her own, a frantic, hungry pressure that seeks to bridge the chasm of lost time.Sahara feels her resolve melting, the ice around her heart turning to steam under the heat of his touch. She chooses, in this split second, to shut down the part of her brain that catalogs grievances, that remembers the shouting matches and the slammed doors. She pushes away the memories of the tearful goodbyes and the bitter silence that followed. Tonight, the history is dead weight she refuses to carry. Instead, she tilts her head, deepening the angle of the kiss, and opens herself to the sheer, overwhelming reality of him. She pulls back just enough to breathe, her forehead resting against his.

“Papa, you're sleeping here tonight, okay?” Both Sahara and Leaf turned toward Lennox at the exact same time. For a moment, neither of them spoke. Sahara was the first to recover. “Sweetheart, maybe Papa is busy,” she said carefully, hoping her son would drop the subject. Lennox immediately turned his hopeful eyes toward Leaf. “Are you busy, Papa?” Leaf looked at Sahara. Sahara narrowed her eyes slightly, silently begging him not to encourage their son. Unfortunately for her, Leaf's lips curved into a small smile. “Actually,” he said, keeping his gaze on Sahara, “I'm not busy tonight.” Sahara's eyes widened. “Leaf—” “I'd love to stay.” Lennox let out a loud cheer. “Yay!” He began jumping excitedly around the living room. “Papa is sleeping here! Papa is sleeping here!” “Lennox!” Sahara quickly stood up. “Be careful, sweetheart. You're going to hurt yourself.” But her warning did nothing to lessen the little boy's excitement. Leaf watched his son

As Sahara watched her former husband sleeping peacefully on the couch, she couldn't stop the ache of pity from settling in her chest. He had been in Hawaii for weeks now, and during that time, he had done nothing but help her at the bakery. He never complained about the long hours. He never asked for anything in return. Even when she tried to tell him to rest, he would simply smile and continue helping. He had changed. Or perhaps she was only beginning to see the parts of him she had once refused to acknowledge. Sahara lowered her gaze. She had spent years proving that she could stand on her own. She had built her bakery from nothing, raised Lennox, and created a life far away from her family's protection. She didn't need her parents' money. She didn't need her brothers hovering over her. And she certainly hadn't needed Leaf. At least, that was what she had told herself. But having him back in her life was making everything she had buried resurface. The moment between them
HIS INNOCENT DOLL Thirty Six
Everything happened so quickly that Sahara barely had time to process what was happening. One moment she was trying to keep her emotions under control, and the next, every wall she had carefully built over the past five years seemed to come crashing down. She didn't know how to stop it. She simply gave in to the feelings she had spent years trying to bury. But when the moment finally passed, reality came rushing back. Sahara suddenly pulled away from Leaf. "Wait..." She pushed herself back, her breathing uneven. Leaf immediately looked at her, concern replacing the emotion in his eyes. "Sahara..." She shook her head. "No." Her hands trembled as she hurriedly fixed her clothes, refusing to meet his gaze. She couldn't believe what she had just done. After five years of staying away from him, after everything she had endured to build a new life, she had allowed herself to fall back into his arms. Her eyes stung. "How could I do that?" she whispered. Leaf moved closer. "Look at

Sahara was already tired of this little family get-together. The noise and the laughter and the constant teasing, it was getting to be suffocating. All she wanted was to get away somewhere quiet and breathe. So she sneaked out Behind their house was her old human-sized playhouse. It was built fo

"Mom, look at them! They're teasing me again!" Sahara stomped her foot, glaring at the three men standing in front of her.Seriously. Did they have nothing better to do? She crossed her arms and shot them her best annoyed look, but her brothers only grinned back. It has always been like this growin

The next morning. Despite everything that had happened the day before, Sahara still woke up early. She quietly got out of bed and headed downstairs to prepare breakfast before her husband left for work. There were no household staff in the house, so she handled everything herself—from doing the

Sahara walked unsteadily into the bathroom, barely aware that she hadn’t even brought any clothes with her. It didn’t matter. Nothing really did in that moment except the tight ache in her chest and the tears that kept slipping down her face without warning. The moment Leaf mentioned her name—Rocs
