The moment I realized I was finally free, without even daring to turn around and take a single glance I ran straight to where Azrael was still sitting, drained after all those horrible moments.
Throwing myself on my knees right in front of him, I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, words tumbling out of my lips on their own as I tightly held him to my chest, resting his head over my shoulder.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry I couldn't do anything! Oh god, please be ok... Oh god I love you so much, I... I..."
Wait.... What the fuck did I just say...
My brain suddenly stopped functioning, furiously blushing, completely frozen, my eyes wide as fuck as I ultimately realized exactly?what?I've just said to him. His muscles also went stiff in my embrace, signaling that he had clearly heard my words, seconds before I felt his strong arms wrap around me, his warm soft lips touching the tender skin between my neck and shoulder.
