Chapter 11
Pitch's POV
Deep down inside a fire was burning uncontrollably in Pitch's heart. He was distraught as he wanted to hate Toothiana and wanted to walk out of her life never to return, but he honestly didn't want to. His love for her was stronger than any hate or anger he could ever feel towards her. Even given all she had done he still loved her and longed anxiously for her touch. Love was crazy like that he thought as he crashed his lips into hers and grabbing her by her shoulders to pull her in to a frenzied kiss. God, how he had longed for her touch and how he had dreamt of this moment for so long. He no longer cared about all her indiscretions. All that mattered was Toothiana and that she never leaves his life again. He just wanted her to get better and still deeply longed for the life with her he has so long imagined. His subconscious rang out loudly in his head telling him what he needed to do.
Pitch broke apart the kiss to drop to one knee. He fished the ring out of his pocket and held it up to her, "Toothiana, despite all we have been through doesn't even matter to me. We all make mistakes though some maybe bigger than others I forgive you. I love you more than I can put into words. All I care about now is getting you clean and starting a life with you. I will not ever leave you again, I promise. Will you please marry me and make me the happiest man in the world?"
Toothiana just started at him dumbstruck for what seemed like an eternity before finally taking a ragged breath and pulling Pitch to his feet. "Pitch, I love you too. I just don't know how you can forgive me so easily. I have done so much wrong and you deserve a woman better than me. Honestly, I don't see how you could ever be happy with me knowing the wrongs I have committed against you…I think this is a mistake."
The words crushed Pitch and coursed through his veins like ice water making his whole body seem to freeze up. He began to think that maybe she was right, but his subconscious screamed at him that anything worth having doesn't come easy. It screamed relentlessly in his head that he needed to pull his head out of his ass and fight for what he wanted, because hell he already killed someone for her. So he should be able to stand up against rejection. Pitch agreed with himself and decided the best way to handle this rejection and change her mind wasn't with hallow words but with action.
Grabbing Toothiana he placed one hand gently on the small of her back and the other cupped her face as he brought her into a slow and tender kiss. Upon feeling his lips he could feel her body slack a little bit into his hands. She wrapped one arm around his neck pulling him closer and deeping the kiss. Meanwhile she rested the other hand on his chest and could feel his quickening heartbeat under her palm. Pitch slipped he tongue into her mouth and their tongues became tangled and seemed to dance in their mouths. No longer could Pitch stand this slow pace and he put both hands under her buttocks picking her up so that she was stranding his waist. Thoughtlessly he headed straight for the now clean bed and laid her down gently as if she were fragile glass that might break at any moment. Moving at a slightly rushed pace he pulled up her dress up and over her head tossing it carelessly to the floor. He could only stop and stare at her body. Toothiana was so thin he could see her ribs and collarbone protruding through her skin and she was covered in dark bruises almost over the entirety of her body. Her body was also littered with cuts, scrapes, and scabs. The sight made Pitch furious all over again and he wanted to bring that son of a bitch back to life just to kill him again, only this time much slower and more deliberately. That is when Pitch decided he would make love to Toothiana and show her how soft his touch and love for her really was.
Pitch started at her feet and began kissing her toes and then moved on to her ankles as she lay back in bed watching him with weary eyes. One hand ran up her other leg while the other leg received delicate kisses all the way up to her hipbones. One hand pressed onto her ribs and splayed out applying subtle pressure as the other carefully pulled her panties down and off to drop them carelessly onto the ground. Toothiana reached behind her back and unhooked her bra and slid it down her arms and behind a shy smile made a show of tossing it off. Pitch gave her a wide grin moving his hand from her ribs he placed them on her nipple and carefully teased her rubbing them between his fingers. The other hand found her wetness and he slid a finger inside of her, curling it as he felt her slightly arch her back. A moan escaped her lips as he slid in a second finger and his tongue found her clit. His tongue moved over her clit as he felt her come unglued underneath of him. When he though she was ready he quickly removed his own clothes tossing them to the floor.
He sat up on the bed on his knees with his legs under him and pulled her up to him to straddle his waist. Pitch wrapped an arm around her back bracing her and pulling her close as he placed his other hand on his hardness. He looked deep into purple eyes and said, "I love you." Then he lightly thrust into her. Once she took all of him he removed his hand and wrapped it around her back holding her tight to his body. Every time he rose up off of his knees he thrust smoothly into again and again until soon she was meeting his thrusts with her own. His lips found her neck and he laid kisses all up and down her throat as one hand found her hair and he spread his fingers into her soft hair. When he felt her body get close and begin to tighten around him he laid her down on her back and lifted one leg to rest on his shoulders as he began to speed up the pace. She screamed out as he felt her tighten and clinch down on his cock. He kept thrusting through her orgasm until he came deep inside of her and collapsed onto the bed beside of her. Through her gasps for air Toothiana looked at Pitch and said, "Yes." They both fell asleep with a slight smile on their faces as they held each other tightly.
