You had been trying to get his attention for what felt like forever. And William wasn’t blind. But he always kept the relationship strictly professional. It’s not that he didn’t want you. God, he wanted you so bad. But he didn’t consider himself worthy of you. Because with him, comes a huge amount of baggage. And you deserve better than the life he leads.

After weeks of holding himself back, though, William finally allowed himself to give in to his desires. You are laying in bed after your night of passion, both on your sides to face each other. He has his eyes closed and he seems relaxed, truly relaxed, for the first time since you’ve met him.

During the night, you had noticed his tattoos. You are curious about them. Especially the big one of his back. “I trust my life to Providence, I trust my soul to Grace”. You trace your fingers over a smaller one on his bicep.
