to explain what these are?” I asked.

“I’m in a clinical trial study, that’s why I came out here.” I started to interrupt her, but she put her

finger over my mouth, “Let me finish.” I smiled as I took her finger in my mouth and sucked on it. She

giggled and continued, “I have to take these pills every day. Once a month, I go to the hospital and get

a set of three injections. It’s called some type of ‘Immunotherapy’. I have to do this for a period of

three months. Once I complete the three months, the doctor will test my blood to see if the cancer is

gone; if not, then I will continue for another three months. I don’t even know if it’s going to work,”

she said as she looked down. I saw the anguish on her face and heard the sorrow in her voice. I lifted

her chin so she was looking at me, “It will work; It has to work.”

“It’s only a trial, Connor; it’s the first time it’s been done on humans, so right now, I don’t know

what to think,” she said distressed.

“You’re strong, Elle. You’re the strongest and most stubborn person I’ve ever met in my life, and if

anybody can pull through this, it’s you, but you have to stop running away from me,” I told her as I

stroked her cheek. She told me she was scared. I took her hands, turned them over, and lightly kissed

both her tattoos.

“Don’t be scared. I’m here, and I’m going to help you through this. Even if this trial doesn’t work,

it doesn’t matter because I will fly you around the world and find you the treatment that will work

because…” I took in a deep breath, “I love you, Ellery Lane, and I will protect you.” The feeling that

crept inside me as I spoke those three words was amazing. Tears streamed down her face as she

hugged me tight and whispered, “I love you too.” I closed my eyes and nuzzled my face in her hair. I

kissed her head and held her face in my hands. I brought my lips to hers and kissed her passionately. I

curled my fingers under her shirt and slowly brought it up over her head, taking it off and tossing it on

the floor. We smiled at each other as she led me to the couch where we made love.

Chapter 19

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Los Angeles. The first half of the day was spent in bed, and the

second half was spent at the beach. After a picnic lunch, great sex in the lighthouse, and long talks, we

headed for home. As we entered the apartment, I walked over to the easel that held a beautiful

painting. I stood there and stared at the Cape Cod style house with an archway, a boat, and a

lighthouse. The painting was stunning, and it made me smile to see such talent, especially from the

woman I love.

“I have to say, Ellery, you are a very talented artist; this painting is stunning.”

She walked over to me, slipped her hands in my back pockets, and put her chin on my shoulder.

“Thank you. This is a glimpse of my future; it looks so peaceful there.”

“It’s very beautiful. I suggest you keep this, and don’t sell it,” I said.

She kissed me on the cheek. “Maybe I will.”

“I was going to tell you, you know,” she said.

I reached for her hands and brought her arms around my waist. “Tell me what?”

She took in a sharp breath, “About coming here and seeing Dr. Murphy. I wanted to talk to you

about it that day, but you were so angry; I heard you on the phone, in your office, with Ashlyn.”

I looked down, “I’m sorry, Ellery. I never should have said those things to you; I was…”

“You need to tell me about her, Connor. We can never move forward if you don’t, and I think I

have a right to know,” she pleaded.

I turned around and pressed my forehead against hers, “I know, and I will; just not tonight.” I just

found her, and we shared a perfect day. There was no way I going to ruin it by discussing Ashlyn. I

could see the disappointment in her eyes when I told her not tonight. I hated doing this to her, and I

know it’s wrong not to come clean about Ashlyn, but I don’t know if there will ever be a right time to

tell her. I picked her up and smiled as I kissed her soft beautiful lips.

“I think we need to go to bed,” I said.

“But I’m not tired,” she devilishly smiled.

“Sleeping isn’t what I had in mind. We won’t be doing that for at least another three hours,” I

smiled as I carried her to the bedroom.

I woke up early to get things ready for Ellery’s birthday. I was going to make sure this birthday is

the best one she’s ever had. I carefully moved her arm from me and slid out of bed. I was pretty sure

she wouldn’t wake up, because after last night, I knew she was exhausted. I threw on a
