“So, you believe that I was the reason for their breakup?”
“And now that their relationship had ended, the obsession was able to fully take over.”
“I’ll have to contact him and speak with the police on that because it will work to help prosecute her.”
“She’s mentally unwell.” As much as I despise this woman, she’s clearly insane.
“I don’t care. Felicity could have killed you, and that isn’t something I could live with. You have no idea what you mean to me, Georgia.” He leans in and pulls me in for a kiss, sending my monitors off.
“Oops.”
“I need to get out of here. I’m fine.”
“Hey, no messing around. This is a hospital,” Grandma Barrymore shouts through the door.
Stellan rolls his eyes and grumbles, “Lord, she’s going to be trouble.”
“She loves you,” I say.
“I think she loves you more,” he confesses. “I might be jealous, but I want her to love my wife almost as much as I do.”
“Did you just say…”
“That I love you? Yes, Georgia Marie King. I love you with every last bit of me, and you don’t have to love me just yet, and that’s okay because I know it’s fast.”
“Calm down.” I press my hand to his rapidly beating chest. “I love you too, Stellan Knox or Stellan Barrymore. Whatever it is, you go by.” He kisses me again, sending the sensors wild and lifting me off the bed.
“Mr. Knox, if you’re going to kidnap her, could you at least let us unplug the monitors,” the nurse teases.
Chapter Ten
Stellan
By seven in the morning, I’m in the temporary sheriff’s office meeting with the police department and the state police. “Mr. Knox, thank you for coming in this morning.”
“What can I do for you?”
“We just want to go over everything again.”
I spent the next three hours going over every detail of the past two weeks with them before finally calling it quits. I need to get back to Georgia. Besides, it’s technically a federal crime, and the FBI wants jurisdiction, so all of this will fall to them. Felicity followed me from California to North Carolina. I didn’t want the drama, but I needed her locked away so she couldn’t harm Georgia again.
“Excuse me, gentleman, but I have a beautiful woman that needs my attention at home.”
“If we need to speak to you again—”
“I’ll be in touch,” I answered, cutting him off.
My phone went off, and it was the man I wanted to speak with. “Hello Jim, thanks for calling me back.”
“No problem. So what’s this about?”
“I just needed to ask why you and Felicity broke up.”
“Why? I thought you knew.”
“No, I had no clue. You two were dating for years, and I hated to say it, but I never pried into Felicity’s personal life.”
“Damn, she was obsessed with you. Frankly, I saw the writing on the wall and told her to go after what she really wanted and to quit playing games with me.”
“Fuck,” I grumbled.
“What?”
“She went fucking nuts. I’ve had a stalker since you broke up, and it turns out it was her.”
“Shit, I heard about the stalker, but damn. I don’t doubt she’d flip like that. I’ve got a magnet for batshit crazy. I’m sorry that I told her to go for it. If I knew, I wouldn’t have said anything.”
“No, my woman told me that it was only a matter of time. Thanks for letting me know. Just know that the police might contact you.”
“Are you pressing charges for the stalking?” I guess that sounded a bit outrageous.
“It’s worse than that. Felicity tried to kill my fiancée.”
“Now I really feel like shit. Totally sorry, bro.”
“No problem. Take care.” I ended the call and thought about getting back to my heart and soul, who was as brilliant as she was sexy.
My trip back to her place was quick, given how fast the town had cleaned up and my call with Jim. Axel Knight did a hell of a job on it. Some spots need more work, but I’m sure it will come in time.
When I get in the door, she’s looking a bit perturbed. “Miss me?”
“A little more than I should have.”
“I’m going to try and not be offended by that because I missed the fuck out of you, and now that I’m back, I have a promise to keep, and you have too many layers on.” I yank on her robe, freeing her from it. I bend her over the counter while loosening my jeans. Once my cock is out, I slide it between her thighs and test her entrance.
“What are you waiting for?” she sasses me. I snap her ass with my hand. “Ouch.”
I answered her with one full thrust in my hips, slamming deep inside her. There was nothing like being inside Georgia. She is everything to me, and it feels like coming home even though I’ve only been gone for a few hours. Talking to the cops and getting things straight now felt like forever. Now, I’m where I wanted to be. “I love you, Georgia. Marry me.”
