As soon as you’d walked into the party tonight, Rafe knew he had to talk to you. He’d been going crazy trying to get you out of his head, trying to tell himself that you meant nothing to him. When in reality he was nothing without you.

He knew what he’d done. Pieces of his memories with you, fell to the ground as he watched you smile at your date. God, he hated that guy. He’d like to punch him in the face until he lost that smug expression he was wearing. But he knew that would only upset you, and he couldn’t risk that. Not tonight.

“Princess, we need to talk” Rafe placed a hand on your waist, tugging you around to face him. He didn’t miss the way your eyes flashed with annoyance at the sight of him. Damn, this was going to be harder than he thought.

After a long, awkward silence, you finally nodded your head and indicated for him to start talking.

“I want you to know, I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. That was the last thing I ever wanted to do. Everything is nothing without you”

You cross your arms, sighing at his words. You could tell that he meant them, but you weren’t about to let him off the hook that easily.

“Beg”

Rafe hesitates. He’s a proud man, and he’s never begged for anything. Until now. Until you.

He drops to his knees, his eyes on you. “Please baby. Please give me another chance. I know I don’t deserve it. I know it’s going to take a long time for you to trust me again. Just let me try to make it up to you. Please” His hands are fisted in his lap, his knuckles white with tension as he waits for your reply on bated breath.

cause I’d bleed my heart out to show that I won’t let go
