Let Love Live
A deep breath of air fills his lungs and he looks at me.
Something dances in his eyes. With a trembling hand, he brushes my hair out of
my eyes. “If someone would have told me that you’d walk into my life and turn
it completely upside down, I’d have told them they were crazy.” He drags my
hand into his and brings it up to his mouth. “For far too long, I was far too
happy to keep everyone on the outside. And then you came along, and for the
first time in so long, I felt something.”
“Me, too.” Tugging at our hands, I bring them to my mouth,
feeling the shaking in his hands relax marginally.
“I was too afraid to let myself love anyone, thinking that
I’d lose them somehow. The fear of loss kept me closed off from my own life.
And now, with you…it’s not like that,” he pauses, looking for the right words.
“What I mean is,” he clarifies, focusing his deep blue eyes on mine, “that with
you, it’s not about being afraid of losing you.”
“I’m that easy,
huh?” I joke. The look of growing frustration on his face tells me I’ve
misunderstood him, and that now is not the time for jokes.
“No, that’s not what I mean. I’m petrified of losing you.
When you fell yesterday, the only thought I could put together was one of
sickening concern. What if he hits his
head? What if he’s permanently injured? What if he blacks out and never comes
back? But then, when I saw you were okay, the only thought going through my head was that there was no way in
hell I could ever go through the rest of my life without you.”
His words cut through me. Stripping me bare, they reflect
the exact same way I feel about him.
“You see, with you, the thing that scares me isn’t the
thought of losing you. What scares the shit out of me is not having you in my
life in the first place,” Dylan says, softly.
He lowers his face to mine, cradling my jaw, and searching
my eyes. “I love you, Conner. You brought me back to life simply by just being
here. And I don’t ever want to picture a life that you’re not a part of.”
With the softest of caresses, he strokes his thumb against
my lower lip before pressing his own in the same spot. As his forehead rests
against mine and our breaths mingle in the small space between us, I inhale
him. This sweet, angry man who turned everything I thought I knew about my own
life completely upside down.
“I’m not as good with words as you are, but know that I
love you, too.”
With hands and hearts joined, we fall asleep, a sense of
peace that, before this moment, was foreign to both of us, covering us like the
warmest of blankest on the coldest of nights.
Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying
Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She
followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English
teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of
books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom,
she can easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently.
When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance
novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the
characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own
took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series
was born.
