Free Un-Break my Heart: Book 2 (The Heart Trilogy) by Audrina Lane

but familiar song playing, it was our song from the past, back to seal it’s self into our present and secure its place in our future together.
     
                  “Turning and returning to some secret place inside
                  Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say”
                 
    James must have heard the song too as he whispered the words to me and I whispered them back to him before we came and the song and our feelings, emotions and bodies took our breath away. Sealed together we both floated on the tide of our love as it ebbed and flowed from one to the other. I opened my eyes and finally found the courage to say the words I had been waiting to say again the whole of my life.
    “I love you” I whispered, softly.
    “I love you so much” I said, slightly louder. Testing the feel of them on my lips and watching his eyes widen.
    “I have loved you all my life” I finished, my lips touched his again in confirmation of my statements.
     
    Looking down at me I watched James join me back in reality as he replied.
    “Oh my fucking god Stephanie, I love you so much these words don’t seem to be enough anymore” he said, kissing me back.
    “We will be together forever, I promise you this once more, till the end of time” The passion and love in the tone of his voice touched me to my very soul. I could feel the tears glistening under my eyelashes, tears of joy as I just held him tight. He was mine again and I was his. Lying together on the bed soothing silence fell between us . Savag e Garde n had started to play as I let the sentiments join us together with a newer song.
     
                  “I love you more with every breath
    Truly, madly, deeply do”
     
    Music had been the one true constant in my life and now it was going to be forever joined with the true love of my life, the man I had discovered as a teenager. We had both grown but our feelings were still the same as before.

    We must have dozed off for a little while but when I woke James was awake too. I could just make out his shape in the pale moonlight seeping through the gap in the curtains.
    “What time is it” I asked.
    “Our time” he replied, leaning over and kissing me again. Immediately my body yearned for him and he must have felt it too for he pulled me into his arms once more.
    “You make me feel like I’m twenty one again” he murmured, as our hands moved over each other. It was as if we were making sure this was real and not a dream.
     
    After he had claimed my body once more, he reached for my hand in the darkness and we lay side by side.
    “Tell me about what happened, how you were feeling” he said “I feel I need to know everything about you again from that moment in your life until now”
    I could feel his fingers stroking my scar as I took a silent deep breath, not sure if this was the right time but thinking that perhaps it was. In the darkness he wouldn’t be able to see my face as easily and it was a dark subject to talk about.
     
    “When you sent me that letter telling me you wanted to finish things I felt my heart start to crack, it was only a small fissure at first. I clutched at straws, refusing to believe that you could think this after all our declarations of love. When you agreed to come and see me for that final time I put a plaster over the edges, believing that I could change your mind with the touch of my lips, the feel of my hands on your body as we made love for the final time” I paused to take a breath, aware that I was starting to shake from the emotions of remembering those dark days.
    “You ripped that plaster away when you left me broken on the bed, cold and lonely for the sunshine and warmth you used to bring to my life. It was as if my world turned from colour to black and white in the flick of a switch”
