<div style="text-align: justify">Judas blinked and for a moment, he was back in New York City riding in the back of a tinted SUV. The inside of the car smelled of leather and old blood and Dominic sat next to him, body tired and clothing worn, but he was there with his blue eyes staring vigilantly ahead despite how exhausted he was. Every moment he spent with Dominic was like none other, but this particular memory had always been his favorite. Resting against Dominic’s bicep, fingers digging into the torn fabric of his shirt, he had felt safe with him. The kids were alright, the invaders had been outsmarted and Dominic was there to protect him. It was surreal. So very alien and so…comforting.​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">Judas blinked and more hot tears dripped out of his distant stare as he was transported back to their house. Cool wooden floors replaced the sensation of warm leather. The smell of blood prevailed.​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">A too hot kiss was pressed into the side of his head and Judas couldn’t move, hell—he could hardly breath. The air that went into his lungs was too thick and too slow.​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">Dom’s voice was too loud in his ears, the past echoing in his ears behind his voice.​</div><br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">“Love. You. Baby”​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify"><i>“I love you, Jude.”</i>​</div><br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">“Always,”​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify"><i>Dominic turned his head slightly to speak into his ear, “Always”</i>​</div><br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">“Forever.”​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify"><i>“And forever.” A light smile spread across his lips.</i>​</div><br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">Judas knew, he had known then like he knew now and was simply too afraid to admit it. The numbness in his chest receded like the tide and for a moment, his heart was exposed like the open nerve of a rotted tooth. The hurt took his breath away.​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(61, 142, 185)">“<b>O</b></span><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(61, 142, 185)">h, puppy. I know. I know—I told myself that you hated me, but the truth is, I hated myself too much, to ever come home to you.”</span></b> Judas’ voice cracked. He didn’t have the energy to rage or to sob. For once in his life, he just wanted to stop lying to both Dominic and himself. The pain paralyzed him. Dominic’s breathing began to slow and sooner than he would’ve liked, the shaky breaths came to a complete halt.​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify"><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(61, 142, 185)">“This was the only way, puppy. No more regret. No more heartbreak. We can go home,”</span></b> Judas voice was little more than a whisper as he lifted his head to stare into Dominic’s still face, blood dripped down his lips and he had his eyes shut, as if he was sleeping. A smile creased Judas’ lips, wide and bitter.​</div><br/>
<div style="text-align: justify"><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(61, 142, 185)">“—and we can have our forever.”</span></b>​</div><br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">The tide never rolled in to numb his heart.​</div><br/>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: justify">For the second time today, a muffled gunshot sounded off in Dominic Black’s living room.​</div><br/>
