His to Command #5: The Submission Page 4

  “Look, Matt. I love you and I’m not giving up on you. So, either tell me you don’t love me, or tell me why we can’t be together.”

  His gut clenched. He wished he could just lie. Tell her he didn’t love her. But the alternative was to tell her what a bastard he’d been two years ago.

  “Kate, we can’t be together. Can’t you just accept that?”

  She shook her head, her intense blue gaze locked on him.

  He sighed and pushed his feet off the side of the bed, then sat up.

  “All right. I should have told you before, but then you wouldn’t have let me help you. And I needed to do that. I needed to try and set things right.”

  “What are you talking about, Matt?”

  He stared into her eyes, soaking in the love shining there, knowing the words he was about to say would extinguish that love completely.

  “The reason we can’t be together is because of what I did two years ago. After you left me.”
