Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 36

　　Michael spun her back to him and captured her lips in an aggressive kiss and only let her go when they were both breathless.

　　She looked up at him with misty eyes. She couldn’t believe that this tyrant has captured her own heart and made it his in just few weeks. From ever since they met two years ago, she felt an undeniable connection to him.

　　Michael looked at her with love and adoration, as if he wanted to attach her to his body for eternity.

　　He held her in his arms staring at her misty eyes. He felt his heart clenched to know that he had hurt her when he should be protecting her. It was unintentionally done but it still affected her. This woman actually care about him but she will not admit it because of pride.

　　“Ari baby?” Michael called her softly and kissed her unshed tears. “There is a lot of things going on right now. Not just now but for years. I wish I could fill you in at this moment but I can’t.”

　　“But why?” Ariana curiosity piqued at this moment. “Does it have anything to with your wound two years ago?”

　　There was a hint of sadness, hurt and anger that evaded his eyes for a moment all at once.

　　“It does but it goes far beyond that.” Ariana snuggled up closer to his body and gave him a hug. Michael hugged her back.

　　“Michael, I am sorry.” Ariana really felt bad about what happen. She never asked him about it since they met again. She figured he might not want to talk about it.

　　“I am man. I don’t have time for self-pity and as my woman, I want you to be strong too. Can you do that for me?” he held her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.

　　She slowly nodded.

　　“Good. As I was saying before, this are just a bit complicated and I know that lack of knowledge leads to misunderstandings but I want you to trust me and trust what we have.” As he remembered their previous argument in the master bedroom, he bit her bottom lip in anger until he taste her blood in his mouth.

　　Ariana wince in pain and pulled away, “Imagine that I am already injured and here you are taking advantage of an injured soldier.”

　　Michael couldn’t help but chuckled, “Since you are a soldier you should be able to handle anything. Who told you to go out?”

　　Ariana was now vexed, “Am I not allowed to go out anymore. I didn’t know you wanted a prisoner?”
