“I can’t.” I choke out.

“Why? Because society says the timeline is wrong?” His hard cock slowly rocking in and out of me. “Because society says our age gap is wrong?” His soft lips skating across the back of my neck. “Tell me sweet girl, when are you going to start living for yourself?”

“I’m scared.” The sob catches in my throat. Turning to look at him over my shoulder, my eyes find his.

“And I’m scared to live this life without you, Hailey.” He brushes the hair back from my face. His thrusting, torturously slow. “Does this feel wrong to you?”

“No, it doesn’t.” I groan out.

“Then get out of your head. You’re standing in the way of your own happiness. You’ve brought me to life baby girl, now let me show you what it’s like to truly live.”

My body melts into his as I surrender to the feelings that I’ve tried to hold back. It’s time for me to live,for me.

“Show me then.” I whisper. “Make me yours, Holden.”

He pauses his thrusts long enough to reach for something and a buzzing sound fills the air around us before he pushes it into me.

“Oh god.” I groan into the sheets. “Please…” I plead with him dangerously close to the edge.

“That’s right. I’m your god now. I’m your everything. Just like you’re mine. Now tell me you want this, baby, tell me you’re mine.”

“Yes,” I moan, arching into him. “I’m yours.”

“I love you baby girl.”

He pinches my clit, and I hurtle over the edge with a scream. “Fuck Hailey!” He yells, spilling everything he has into me.

Untying the belt, my body is pulled under the covers, and pulled against his. Home. That’s what it’s like to be wrapped up in this man, complete and utter content.

“You can’t deny how explosive we are together.” He strokes my hair tenderly. “We were made for each other sweetheart.”

It’s not long before the sounds of his soft snoring are heard. My eyes are heavy but the sudden vibrating from his phone startles me. Holden doesn’t move and realizing how late it is and that it could be an emergency, I ease out of the bed and stumble blindly before finally finding his pants. Pulling his phone out, I realize he’s missed a few texts. Curious as to who’s texting him this late, I click on the message, and am surprised his phone isn’t locked.

J: Did you want me to place an order for more pills?

J: My guy says he can get them by next week.

What pills? I haven’t noticed Holden taking anything. Scrolling through the previous texts, my stomach sinks.

He’s switched my pills and I could be pregnant.

In a daze, I tiptoe to the door silently. I test the knob and to my surprise, it opens. Throwing on his shirt that was left on the floor, I take one last look over my shoulder, seeing the monster for what he is. Laying there looking like the prince charming that I thought he was. Instead, it’s the Devil in disguise.

Shutting the door, I do the only thing I can do.... I run.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

HAILEY

Snowfallsheavilyshowingno signs of stopping. It's snowing so hard I can barely make out the trees in time as I dart past them. My feet sink into the freezing wetness with every step I take through the dark, cold forest. My breath fogs the air with each heavy pant. A sharp pain radiates in my chest and ribs when I inhale the cold air deep into my lungs.

I keep pushing, running as far and as fast as I can. I can't stop. I won't. Running barefoot and in nothing more than a tee shirt in the middle of a snow storm is a death sentence. So is staying with him. Someone that wants to trap me by bringing an innocent kid into the world. If he's this obsessed, I'd never be free. Only to be confined with his wants and desires. He doesn't care about me. Just wants to own me, possess me. It was all nothing more than a ploy, a perception. He did anything to obtain me.

Lies. So many lies.

A sob breaks free when I can no longer hold back my tears. My chest feels like a lead weight sits heavily against it. I thought we had something. I thought he could have been the one. God was I stupid.You knew it was too good to be true. You took the chance and now this is the consequence.

My feet catch on a tree limb and before I know what's happening, my body is sent flying down the mountain side in a tumble. Head over heels, I roll before I finally come to an abrupt stop. The sound of rushing water greets my ears.
