Chapter 60 - Business trip (1/2)

"Please, do not hurt me anymore" she whispered while hugging him from behind.

Coming out from her lips it sounds sweet but what it held has a great and deep meaning.

'Please do not hurt me physically and emotionally' her mind echoed as she tightly grabs his fur robe, asking for a little more attention and gentleness.

"I will stay here as long as you want me to, I won't leave you, just please, stop torturing me, us" her voice mild as she begs, with her eyes now glimmering but not with happiness rather because of the tears that are blurring her vision.

Logan's body stiffened, his jaw clenched, at that moment, he felt his whole world crumble, how can he be that cruel to the most important person in his life?

Forget his father! Forget what Astrid did!

This is Celestia, not Astrid, he is Logan and not his father.

And maybe, just maybe, love is not all about pain.

'Did I really hurt you so much?' he questioned himself, a pained expression came from his face as his hands found it's way to Celestia's hand.

Her hand fits in his like it's made just for him.

He knew the answer, he damaged her a lot, from not talking to her, to not caring what she wants and to the extent of even giving her bruises and wounds when all she did is to heal him.

Celestia is like an angel trying to embrace his demon self.

He doesn't deserve her yet he still wants her, all of her.

The moment she came, he knew she is trouble itself.

From the moment she bumped into him, his anger towards the management dissipated, she melted the ice in his heart. He tried to cover it up by being harsh with her on their first meeting however her face is already engraved in his memory, occupying his mind all day.

And when she broke into his house, he should've thrown her out and sentenced her death but what did he do? He kissed her back, like a beast longing for its other half.

"I-I'm sorry" his voice croaked, he can feel his eyelids getting hot, he never cried, never did and never thought he would be able to. The words that escaped from his lips were unfamiliar, such strange words he never uttered.

An emperor that cried and apologize? Huh, his family will disown him.

He turns to face her, and that day he realized that it is not Celestia's tears he is afraid of, it is Celestia herself, his weakness.

He has it all, infinite wealth, highest power, everything! He is depicted as a cold-hearted person, a man with no flaw, ruthless, heartless...

but now, he can see it with his own eyes, his kryptonite and Achille's heel, the woman in his arms.

The two of them continued to hug each other with tears pouring down on each other's face, their eyes speaking millions of unspoken words as they embraced each other's flaws and weakness.

"Let's go?" Celestia said, being the first one to broke away, her emerald eyes are now alive again, all she needed is to recharge and she did, by being truthful to her feelings.

"Go where?" Logan replied, his charcoaled eyes with a hint of wetness but his lips now smiling as he looks at her lovingly.

"Bed, make love to me this time" she replied with a hint of playfulness as she tiptoes to kiss him.
