Chapter 22

Mia's Pov

My head rested on Christian's chest, as we sat in silence. I don't know when, but he had picked me up during my sobbing session and had us situated on the couch. Only dried tears marked my skin and my nose was completely red by now, I was sure.

I sniffed a few more times and felt Christian rub my back gently. Knowing that I probably resembled the haunted Anabelle doll right now, I pulled back, wiping my face with the back of my hands.

“Sorry, I just got carried away. I didn't mean to-”

“It's fine, fire.” He cut me off, gazing deeply into my eyes. “You never have to apologize to me for showing your emotions. Trust me, I will always be with you, especially at your weakest.” He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

I took a proper look at our position and blushed immediately when I noticed that I was completely on him. Like I was actually straddling him, my core directly over his….shit. I felt something hard poke me, and by the heated look on his face, I knew what it was.
