Gently, but firmly, Goren placed his hands on Eames' arms, pulling him away.
No, you shouldn't...
Not like that.
Eames was mortified by this rejection.
She felt her heart break into a thousand pieces.
Goren had just pushed her away.
Was she dreaming...
Hadn't he told her that he would never abandon her...
She raised her head, looked at him as if she were forbidden, shocked by what he had just done.
Her big hazel eyes looked at him with an immense sadness.
Goren's heart tightened.
He hadn't meant to cause her pain.
And that's what he had just done.
But he had to stop her, and stay firm.
He shook his head in denial.
So that was it...
Goren didn't want her anymore.
Not with what she'd been through.
She should have known better.
Even if her attackers hadn't been able to go through with it, to him, she was definitely dirty.
- Alex... It's not what you think...
So what...
What could it be...
A violent anger rose in her.
He was just like all those men...
A liar!
- So what!
Eames had just screamed her words, trying to push Goren's hands away from her arms, and trying to get out of the way.
- Let go of me.
Instead of letting go, he holds her tightly.
Damn it...
He had hurt her, even though that was not his intention.
Goren wanted her to understand that there was no point in rushing into anything, because it wouldn't make her forget what she had been through.
On the contrary...
It would only make things worse.
She was waving in all directions, trying to get out.
But he was holding on.
She was punching him in the chest, making him wince.
She was small, but she had strength.
God...
He had to explain it to her.
With firmness, he tightened his grip on his arm, immobilizing it.
Alex felt his anger melt away, and give way to an immense sadness.
Tears welled up in his eyes, blinding him.
It wasn't fair...
Even when she tried to get away from him, he was too strong.
He had hurt her deeply, rejecting her, the moment she discovered her feelings for him.
Goren took a deep breath.
Make her listen to me, and let me put one in.
That was hard enough to say.
- I want to take it easy.
He blushed violently, looked away, and put his hand to the back of his neck.
Gently...
Had she heard correctly?
Would she be mistaken about his intentions ...
It was the first time, that he dared to assert himself, and to say what he wished.
Her heart beat tenderly in her chest.
She smiled, tenderized.
God, she loved this man.
Goren brought his hands down to her waist, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her close to him, holding her tightly.
He leaned his face toward hers, rested his forehead against hers, brushing against it.
- I want to make love to you with slowness, without precipitation... More he spoke, and more his face became red. I want to be able to look at your body, and...
Alex took Bobby's face between his hands, brought his face closer to hers, and took possession of his lips gently.
This time, it was a tender kiss, without any rush.
She moved her lips away from his, plunging her large hazel eyes, into his brown gaze.
- I want to go gently too.
Eames pinked with pleasure.
With an infinite tenderness, Goren took possession of her lips.
He let his fingers wander along her body, gently and slowly, kissing every part of her body, as he removed the torn pieces of fabric.
Yes, tonight...
He was going to be the sweetest of lovers.
