me, comforting me and loving me. It’s one of those heart-stopping kisses. The kind you have when you first start dating and lust, love and a fierce need for one another controls your lips, guided by your heart, head and everything in between. It leaves me breathless.
He eventually pulls back, also sucking in a deep breath. He studies me, his eyes darkening as they bore into mine. God, I love being held in his heated gaze, love knowing that intensity is completely directed at and focused on me. He holds my face then dips slightly and Eskimo kisses me. I wrinkle my nose, it’s too ticklish but ever so sweet. I feel him coming back to me, I see the tension starting to fade. I did that. I gave him his peace back. I gave him me to do with as he pleases. Something I thought would render me anxious. My life, my fate is in his hands and I realise there’s no one I trust with it more than this man.
Knowing I need to break the spell he’s currently placed me under, I lick my lips and tug his hand. “Come on babe, your team is waiting. I’m sure they didn’t wander out here to watch us being mushy!”
“Bloody responsibilities!” He mutters as we walk back to them.
They’ve met up with Jonah thankfully and are already talking amongst themselves. We drop down to the sand and I can see much better as they all have their Comm torches lit up.
“I know you’ve told Kye but... What happened with my sisters? Did you get them out?” I ask hopefully.
They all avert their eyes. My skin breaks out in goose bumps and that damn sickly feeling rises from the depths again.
“Just tell me, please!”
“We couldn’t find them Faith. I’m sorry we tried, we really did. We were clearing all the rooms and then we got backed up by AIG. The scientists that escaped rallied them and they surrounded us, we had no choice but to travel out of there.”
My stomach just fell out. I look down to locate it on the floor, completely lost for a moment as those words sink in. My sisters are still there, scared and now at the mercy of Fraser. If I hadn’t already decided to go back this would have made up my mind. They probably think I abandoned them and... I did. I saved my own neck, well, technically Kye saved it but still. My whole purpose for venturing back was for them and yet I’ve left them again. I’m a terrible person. I didn’t even want to go back originally. I wanted to make a go of it here with Kye and screw everything else. I don’t deserve happiness and now I know that’s why my life has been nothing but tragic. I always have to overcome, find some inner strength and hope for the best. Good people don’t have to work this hard to live. Good people have nothing to prove and they’re rewarded for their very nature. I never set out to be a bad person, I’m not intentionally selfish and if I hadn’t met Kye then I doubt decisions would be so tough. I’m now too focused on him and us. I was worried about him choosing between responsibilities and love. But maybe all along it’s been me that has to make that choice.
Kye
My girl fucking amazes me. Seriously, at every turn, she shows me why I adore her. She’s going to come back for no reason other than to make me happy. She’s willing to disregard her apprehension and all of her concerns just for me. I struck gold with her. She’s going to sacrifice her emotions for mine and I shouldn’t let her, not on a relationship basis, but on a put- the- world- right basis I have no choice. She should be illegal, the high she gives me is more dangerous than any drug. So giving, so trusting and so deserving of a life better than I’m currently able to offer. My team are back, Faith is in and I can finally talk this out. I can finally figure it out. I pull Faith against me so she knows I’m there for her and also so I don’t have to look into those watery pools of hers as she strives to keep it together. How she stays strong is a mystery but I’m so proud of her.
