Stopped Belonging to Him
Of course, I hadn't.
Before he became the man in charge, he had walked through hell with my father. Every time he came back from a job, he made sure to wash away the smell of blood before he saw me.
Except once.
He had been badly hurt, and when I touched him, blood soaked through his shirt. I was so scared that I started crying. He panicked more than I had, trying to calm me down.
After that, he never let me see him injured again.
"Diana, come home with me." His voice was hoarse. "I can give up everything, but I can't lose you. I mean it. I've cut things off with Maddy. Not just her. I won't touch another woman again. Just trust me one more time."
