The pack run (14)
Damon was so close to Talia now that he could reach her if he only extended his arm, but it was not close enough because she could easily escape his grasp, so he continued inching closer.
"Between the two of us, you don't need me. It is I who needs you, kitten. I need you so I know what it means to be a decent person. I have the largest pack, more money than I could ever spend, and enough influence to rock our society, but none of those are worth a squat without you in my life. I know I asked for your forgiveness too many times already, and I am ashamed that I need to ask for it again. Please, forgive me."
Talia jolted when their legs touched underwater.
Damon slowly spread his arms around her. "Please. Let me hold you. I know you are angry and hurt and it was all my fault. Ask me for whatever you want and I will make it happen, just don't push me away. I need you, kitten. Don't leave me." The last few words splashed on her face.
