Forged In The Flames
I love you, Aliana, and my love is not merely a product of our bond," I murmured, and she held onto me, her grip unwavering.
"I love you too, Nikolas. I love you with all my heart, and I appreciate everything you're doing for us," she whispered, and I kissed the top of her head, holding her close.
We remained secluded for the rest of the day, revelling in each other's presence. I made love to her, trying to compensate for the times I had been absent due to my demanding schedule. Now that she knew the truth, her response to my touch differed. There was a sense of belonging, and the fear of being torn apart had dissipated. I was grateful that I had chosen to forge ahead despite the challenges.
