In the end, its Him & I

38. A Step in the Right Direction

Xile stood in the doorway, her blanket and stuffed snowman in her hand.

"Mom?" she called, "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing darling, come here," I said holding my hand out for her.

"I'll go get dad,"

"No, just let him sleep. He needs the rest." I said.

I really hoped she wouldn't. He was finally getting the rest he desperately needed.

She walked over and sat on the floor next to me. She covered us both with her blanket and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and squeezed.

"I'm so worried about you," she confessed.

"It's not your job to worry about me. I promise you I'll be fine, just go back to sleep mi amor,"

I hummed 'A la Nanita' like I've been doing since I'd first held her in my arms. And just like always, she fell asleep almost instantly.

The door opened again, and I turned to see Grey walking over to us. He bent down, pushed the hair out of my face, and kissed me on my head. I closed my eyes as I leaned into his touch.

He was my home.

"I'm going to start therapy tomorrow, will you come with me."

"Of course,"

"Thank you"

"I told you; I'd follow you to the ends of the earth, Yildiz. And if this is going to help us, I'm all on board no questions asked."

I pressed my other palm to his cheek as I looked into his eyes. "I love you more than you could ever understand,"

"I love you, Solana. With every fiber of my being." He said pressing his forehead to mine. "Let's get our daughter to bed, hm?"

I nodded and he lifted her into his arms. I grabbed her stuffed toy that fell on the ground and got up. I pulled the covers back and he laid her down. I placed her stuffed toy in her arms and kissed her forehead.

He swept me up into his arms and spun me, "Sonsuza kadar güzelliğine hayran olabilirim ve asla, ama asla yorulmam." He said and although I had not one clue what the hell he said, I smiled knowing it was something sweet. (I could marvel in your beauty for eternity and never, ever get tired)

I wrapped my legs around him and grabbed onto his nape. I dragged my tongue slowly over his lips before I bit down and pulled. He smirked, "Bad girl"

"All yours," I said before I crashed my lips with his. Our tongues moved together as if they'd been fated to each other.

For the first time in weeks, we had our first lust-filled kiss. He'd been denying me this side of him and that only made me crave him more. He didn't want to hurt me and that was understandable, but I needed him. I needed to cling onto his back for dear life as he thrust inside me knocking the breath out of my lungs.

He pulled away and slapped my ass.

"Please Grey, I just want to kiss you." I pleaded.

"You know what your kiss leads to, no."

I groaned and rested my head on his shoulder, "You're no fun. I'm not going to break you know."

"Oh baby, when I decide it's time, you're going to wish you never said that." he turned his head slightly and whispered in my ear, "I'll do more than break you. Now behave and get in bed."

He let me down and I folded my arms pouting at him. He folded his as well and stared at me. I rolled my eyes and climbed into bed next to Xile.

"That's what I thought." He said as he got into bed beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my neck, "Ti amo,"
