Uncharted Paths (Sequel to Downfall)

Your man

Belle’s POV

My heart was beating faster than ever. My breath was completely uncontrolled. The way he had unexpectedly approached me and given me a kiss with such passion and intensity made me completely weak in the knees. His lips tasted even better than I could remember, his strong and defined body felt breathtakingly good pressed against mine.

I just couldn’t understand this sudden outburst. He had never… even if only for a second, tried anything in this past year and months that passed by. 

He sighed as I questioned him and looked right into my eyes “Belle…” He caressed my face.

I was completely lost in him, having him this close and my body on fire made it really hard to concentrate

“I’m really an idiot, as you know” He whispered “I-I probably should have done this sooner”

“D-done what?” I looked at him

He looked down “Belle, I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving Catherine”

I looked at him, not quite understanding “I know that.” I simply said

He looked at me, whispering “I think I’ve just found out there’s still room in my heart to love”

My eyes widened, was he really saying that?

“And I’ve also realized that I’ve drawn a shield around me to not let anyone in again. But it did... You did” He looked at me “I just didn’t see it. I have denied it to myself and…”

He wiped my tear away, I still couldn’t believe his words “and I’m the biggest idiot around.” He kissed my forehead “Maybe I don’t deserve you Belle. You deserve all the best, you’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. But, I love you. I’m in love with you”

I avoided eye contact, breaking down in front of him. He held me close to him, caressing me “I am so sorry for everything Belle.”

I put my arms around his body, pressing him hard against me

“I-I understand if you don’t want to…”

“Oh” I interrupted him “I want it Robert, I want you…” I sobbed “I just can’t believe you just… said that”

He caressed my face, making me look at him. He smiled lovingly at me “I’m being truthful. I’ve loved you for quite a long time now. I just denied it to myself this entire time” He smiled “And after that kiss, I couldn’t be more sure of what I’m saying” he whispered

I smiled, still crying like a baby in front of him. “I love you”

He kissed my cheek, hugging me tight “Would you accept me as your man?”

I smiled widely between my tears, tightening my grip around his body “My man? You’re my man?”

“All yours” he whispered in a deep voice

I smiled, pushing him to my lips once again.

“Hmmm” he moaned, before mumbling into the kiss “Are you sure you are ok with this? I mean… I’m…”

“Robert… I could never ever ask you to forget her and the love you feel for her. Just… love me the same”

He kissed my hands “I do, I will do everything in my power to make you the happiest woman in the world”

I caught his face with my hands “I am already the happiest woman in this world” I smiled

He pulled his lips into mine, in a passionate kiss “You are so amazing, Belle”

Heeeey!
