Chapter 229

Alec's POV

She had come and was now standing right in front of me. I couldn't be without her any longer, so I grabbed her hands and held them tightly. I needed this closeness now. More than anything else.

I felt so much love and affection that it almost tore me apart inside.

I never want to be without her for another day. Wants to wake up next to her every day and fall asleep next to her together. Wants to be the man she wants. I want to read her every wish from her lips. I want her more than I've ever wanted anything.
