Her Cyborg (19 page)

CHAPTER 29

Shade looked into Phoebe's beautiful eyes. They had a spellbinding effect on him and he knew he would never grow tired of looking into them. It was as if she had bewitched him in every possible way, making him uninterested in everything around him. It almost felt like the last time, the moment just after he had awakened over a month ago. Unable to pull away from her, he made her sit on his legs with her legs on either side of his.

“I was so worried,” Phoebe said and swallowed hard.

“Worried that I wouldn't awaken?”

“That too, but I worried that you wouldn't love me anymore.”

He smiled, gently pressing his hips up against hers. It frustrated him that their clothes and the blanket were in the way. He needed to get close to her, as close as possible, and the need grew by the minute.

He had been sure that he had lost her, but he knew better now. If he would have lost her completely, he would have been dead. A small part of the bond had managed to survive, but that part had been so tiny that his programming hadn't accepted it as a bond. The programming had barely paid any attention to it at all. That was what happened to all the Fighters. That was how they survived, and thankfully, Jade had managed to fix his bond along with her team of scientists and doctors. They had made him stable again and they had removed Nightmare's invasive signal.

He had felt the bond react twice. It had initiated instantly when Phoebe had touched him and it had accepted her just as fast. That tiny piece that remained of the bond had recognized her and it knew what it wanted, what he wanted. They just needed to seal it now.

“That is not possible,” he said. “My love for you is eternal. If the bond is removed, I will die. Nightmare believes a lie if he thinks the bond is fake. It is not. It is who we are. He just refuses to accept that, but I choose happiness. I will always choose you over what the Fighters have. I got a small taste of their pain and I can't imagine living like that. It must be horrible.” He wrinkled his forehead. “Nightmare has lived like that for forty years. He is trying to set himself free from himself, and that is impossible.” His hand gently caressed her cheek. “I love you. Don't ever doubt that.”

Tears of joy filled her eyes. “I love you too. I don't know what I would do without you.”

“I will never let you find out.” He grinned but turned serious a few seconds later. “What did Nightmare do to you before I arrived?”

Phoebe became still. He knew that she knew what he was referring to. They still hadn't talked about it. They hadn't had the chance.

She licked her lips. “He ... held me.”

Shade winced. He hadn't expected that answer. “He held you? He made it sound like he had done a lot more.”

“Don't worry. He just held me.”

“Why?”

“Because he is lonely. Just like you said, he is not willing to accept the bond. He believes it's not real, but that doesn't help him with his loneliness. He can't touch an unbound woman without his programming thinking that he wants to bind himself to her, but he said that he is safe with me.”

Shade wrinkled his forehead. “How was he safe with you?”

“Since you are bound to me, he can touch me. His programming will not accept me as a potential bound one.”

Shade nodded. “That was good to know.”

Phoebe tilted her head a little to the side and looked at him with confusion. “Aren't you ... angry with me?”

“Why would I be angry at you? He didn't give you a choice, did he?”

“No. He just took what he wanted and I wasn't able to get away from him.”

“Of course, you weren't. He is a cyborg.” His gaze darkened. “But if I am ever confronted with him again, he will pay for everything he has done to us.”

She looked him deep in the eyes. “I hope that day will never come. The last thing I want is to see you hurt again. I want this to be over and I pray that Nightmare has lost all interest in you, just like Wind assumed.”

She leaned closer and placed her arms around him. Her warmth and feminine scent filled his senses. It made his body react, filling him with need. He wanted to stay like this forever.

“Bond with me.” His voice was a whisper filled with pleasurable promises.

“You don't have to ask me twice.”

She leaned even closer and kissed him. Shade couldn't stop the moan from escaping his mouth. His hands explored her body, taking off one piece of clothing after another. He would make love to his one and only and they would seal the bond anew. He would show her how much she meant to him. He knew he meant just as much to her. Their love was true and real, no matter what Nightmare said. He felt it in his entire being, and he knew she felt it too.
