Eventually, he very gently let go of me and I had to free him reluctantly.
I swallowed uncomfortably.
I had never been this comfortable talking to a man like this.
The only man whom I had been okay with was Loren.
And even with Loren it had still been strained with boundaries I set up.
He gently cupped my cheek. "You look tired. You need to rest."
I was reluctant to let go of my newly found father.
"No…." I managed. "I'm fine. I still need to talk to you about-
"It can wait." He interrupted in the most gentle manner.
He caressed my cheek.
"It will wait Jasmine." He whispered.
The way he called my name.
It sounded perfect.
I looked into his perfect eyes, and I felt at home.
"You need to rest." He said and then looked down at my tummy. "At least for you baby. Your baby needs to rest."
My hands went around my tummy.
I was still hungry for answers.
I still wanted to save my baby.
Still wanted to know more about my mother.
About the two of them.
