This was the beginning.
Our beginning, and nothing or nobody could ever take it away. Not after tonight. He made love to me countless times, unable to satiate himself with my body. Until he let me fall asleep in his arms, in his world. As if I was his whole life, too. He held me so tight like he never wanted to let me go. At some point in the darkness, I felt him thrust back inside me. I was exhausted and sore, but it still felt so right. It almost felt like I was in and out of a dream. Except this time his love making felt different.
More vulnerable.
More powerless.
More urgent and frantic.
“Damien,” I murmured, trying to open my eyes.
“Shhh… Mu?eca… I’m here… Shhh… I’m here…”
Those words always soothed me, no matter if I was awake or asleep.
“I love you… I fucking love you…” he added in a desperate, desolate plea that I would remember for the rest of my life.
The next thing I knew I startled awake the following morning. Something woke me from a dead sleep. The front door maybe. I rolled over, letting it all sink in.
As soon as I saw her, I knew.
To the depths of my soul, I knew.
Yuly.
With a card that read, “Happy Birthday, Mu?eca. I’ve never been your hero, but you have always been mine.”
My heart exploded.
I died right then and there.
He wasn’t trying to start a future with me. What I thought was our beginning was actually our end.
Our night.
The night, he spent hours worshipping me was his way of saying…
Goodbye.
Forever.
I’ve told you from the beginning of my story that I was nothing but a fucking monster.
At least now, you can’t call me a liar…
EL PECADOR (The Sinner) book 2 and the conclusion of Damien and Amira’s story will be releasing early January. El Pecador will be “Present time” and pre-order will be up very soon!
A note from the author:
Here you are, you made it to the end of book one. I’m sure you’re probably cussing me out and scrolling through the pages to see if there is more. Allow me to explain; as much as I wanted to avoid El Santo ending on a cliffhanger, I couldn’t. I actually have several chapters written from this point forward, which is in present time. The story was almost done, but as I was writing it, something felt off. I was rushing through present time to avoid having to make El Santo two books. To be completely honest, present time was what I was looking forward to writing the most and I was cutting so much out to make it one book. It wasn’t fair for the storyline or to my characters and the story they wanted to tell. I decided pretty much at the last minute that I needed to stay true to my writing, the storyline, and characters by writing the best possible book so I decided it was best to make El Santo two books. I promise I’m not making you wait long, Part 2 which is “Present time” will be releasing early January with so much more story to tell. LOTS more angst, action, and of course love.
Thank you all so much for the continued love and support you always give me!! I couldn’t do this without my bloggers and readers!!
I love you all so much!!
