Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 We Need To Talk

AMY

When he looked up, his expression didn’t show surprise, just resignation.

“Amy,” he called out softly.

I froze at the sound of my name. It wasn’t angry, but it wasn’t warm either.

“I’ve been looking for you,” I said finally.

“I know.” He leaned back in his chair. “Cole called.”

I blinked. “He did?”

He nodded. “He was worried. Said you refused to let him drive you.”

I sighed. “I needed to clear my head. I couldn’t sit and wait anymore.”

His eyes softened for a moment before he looked away. “You shouldn’t have gone out alone, Amy.”

“I know,” I admitted quietly. “But I had to find you.”

The room went quiet again.

For a long time, neither of us spoke. The space between us was thick with everything we hadn’t said fear, guilt, love, exhaustion.

Finally, I took a few steps forward, stopping by the edge of his desk. “Can we talk?”

He nodded slowly, pushing aside the papers. “Yeah,” he answered. “We need to.”

And just like that, I realized that maybe this wasn’t about who was right or wrong anymore. Maybe it was about finding our way back to each other before the distance between us grew too wide to close.

That thought alone kept me standing there, holding onto the little bit of hope left inside me.

I stood in front of him, feeling every ounce of tension that had built up over the last day. Daniel’s arms were at his sides, his jaw tight, eyes searching mine like he wanted to read my thoughts.

I took a deep breath. “I… I shouldn’t have kept things from you. I thought I was protecting you, but I see now that I just made you feel shut out.”

Daniel’s expression softened slightly. He stepped closer, his hand reaching out, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “Amy… I should’ve trusted you more. I let my fear and worry get the better of me. I should’ve come to you before jumping to conclusions.”

I looked down for a moment, feeling the tension in my chest case just slightly. “I’m sorry, too. For hiding it and for… for making things more complicated than they needed to be.”

His hand cupped my cheek now, warm and steady. “We both messed up. But we fix it together, yeah?”

I nodded. “Together.”

He leaned in, and I felt his lips press against mine in a deep, passionate kiss. It wasn’t gentle, it was the kind that swept away the doubts and fears and left only the raw pull between us.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, needing that closeness, needing him to know I wasn’t going anywhere.

We pulled back just enough to catch our breaths, and I rested my forehead against his. “Daniel…” I whispered, my voice shaky. “I don’t want to fight with you ever again.”

He shook his head, his eyes dark with emotion. “Neither do I. You mean too much to me. I can’t go a day without knowing you’re okay, Amy.”

I smiled faintly, a mixture of relief and lingering nerves. “I know… I just need time to sort through things. But I want you to know I love you. I’ve always loved you.”

His lips found mine again, slower this time, as if he wanted to memorize the moment. My hands slid down to his chest, feeling the steady rise and fall of him.

The intensity between us built, a heat that made everything else fade. I felt safe and wanted, and it wasn’t just desire but it the trust and love we had for each other.

Daniel rested his forehead against mine, his hand still holding my cheek. “I’ve missed this,” he murmured.

“I’ve missed you,” I admitted. “And I’ve missed us being… normal, without secrets and fear.”

He gave a small chuckle, rubbing his thumb across my cheek. “We’ll get there. Step by step.”

I let out a long breath and smiled. “You know what I’m realizing?”

“What?” he asked, tilting his head.

“I’m hungry,” I said, teasing lightly, trying to shake the lingering tension.
