Sorry for the late update, had to deal with some family stuff yesterday so I was unable to complete this until now.

Payne P.O.V

Well, its safe to say that now I know what a broken heart feels like.

I didn't cry though, did enough of that stuff when I thought I was going to lose her.

But it appears now, in the end, I did though.

Fuck it. There's no point in lying. I did cry okay. My mate doesn't want me anymore and she blatantly said she'd prefer die.

I didn't bawl my eyes off though. I did it like real men did.

I sat back on her bed, in her room -which was the only place other than Payge's bedroom that I did not destroy- with a bottle of vodka and let them flow silently.

I didn't think I had a heart until now but there must be something in my chest that broke.

I'd told her I loved her and now that wasn't enough.

But I had nothing else to offer.

Ah fuck the water works was coming again.

This was pathetic and pointless. Crying and drinking wasn't going to get her back. I had to do something.

But what if she rejected me again?

Fuck it. I needed her and there is no way that she's pulling through any better than I was.

Well, at least I hope so, I don't know what I'd do if I actually saw her moving on. She's mine. Only mine and I alone could have her.

Getting off her bed I didn't even bother fixing myself I knew I looked like shit.

I just needed to get her. I'd feel better then.

The house was a mess. Everything destroyed and broken.

Sometimes my rage scared me.
But I knew I'd never hurt or lay a finger on Alexis again. Never to harm her.

Walking down the staircase I made it through the front door in a blur.

I ran as fast as my feet could have carried me and in a few seconds I found myself in front of the pack house.

I stopped in my tracks as soon as I began approaching the fountain.

Alexis was sitting leant against it crying. One of her hands was stuffed in her eyes and the other over her heart.

I slowly walked toward her. She seemed to not have even noticed my presence.

When I was a few inches from her I let myself fall to my knees before her and with the sudden movement her hands moved away and teary blue eyes looked up to me.

I bowed my head. Closing my eyes. I couldn't bare to see her like this. To see us like this.

"Payne." Her voice cracked a little and so did one of the pieces of my heart.

"Alexis."

"I can't do this anymore," She cried and I nodded my head knowing exactly what she meant.

"I can't be without you anymore," I said, my heart throbbed in my chest. I was putting out the broken pieces of my heart for her and just letting her know how I felt, something I'd never consider doing weeks ago but right now, I just needed her to know. If we were really over. I needed her to know what she did to me.

"I can't stop thinking about you. I destroyed the house but not your room. I've been in it ever since. I have this uncontrollable pain in my chest and I can't think straight. I can't focus on anything and I can't even if I tried, forget you. My father did many things to me before, marked my skin, beat me. Torture me using my sister but none of that can compare to how I feel right now and I don't care if you don't want me anymore. I'm selfish and I want you even if you don't want me. So please, fuck, just let me be with you again. I love you and these are words I haven't said since my mother. I need you more than anything right now."

***********

Alexis P.O.V

Payne was crying. On his knees before me.

Payne Vincent was crying. For me.

What more do I want or should I want but to be with him right now?

I was tired of fighting. Tired of being without him.

Honestly. I just wanted to be in his arms right now.

I got on my knees and got myself closer to Payne.

I wiped away one of his tears and his hand reached up and kept my hand to his face.

His eyes didn't meet mine. They hadn't the entire time he spoke but I didn't feel offended by it. I knew he meant every word he said. I never knew Payne to be a liar and he wasn't.

I slipped my other hand under his chin feeling a little stubble and I rose his face so I'd see into those silver eyes.

His eyes were a little puffy and I could smell a hint of alcohol on his breath but he wasn't drunk.

He was frustrated and so was I.

"I love you too Payne." His tensed shoulders went lax at that and his eyes glowed with an unknown emotion.

"I think I love you more," he breathed out and this time as he said it I could see the emotion in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did and I'm sorry for telling you to leave. I just needed some space," my words felt like a weight lifting off of my chest.

Payne nodded and leant his forehead against mine.

"I'm sorry for everything. I led you to that, everything is my fault. I'm sorry." His voice cracked a little but I shook my head against his.

"I can't do this anymore" I repeated.

"Then come back to me."

"Please." I said.

Payne slowly rose to his feet and then took my hand in his.

I stood up and as I stood Payne bowed his head and finally in what felt like a forever, he pressed his lips against mine.

I relished the feeling of him against me and kissed him back eagerly.

It was until moments later when we released from each other that I realized that everyone inside the pack house had come out and was cheering for us.

"Let's go home." He whispered in my ear and entwined our fingers once more.

I couldn't be anymore happy to hear those three words.

As we walked back to the house the air around us seemed easier to deal with. We'd both gone through hell together in our own form of the word and now we both understood each other. We both knew our limits in what we could and could not do.

I loved Payne, with everything I had which was nothing much but he didn't seem to mind. He was my everything, the one thing that could keep me alive and the one thing if lost would make me feel to die.

I didn't know the extent of his feelings for me but I took his word for it. He loved me and for him to just say that was enough.

Payne was complicated, difficult at times but I wouldn't give him up for the world.

We needed each other otherwise we both were lost.

How ironic, before I'd met him, when wondering through the forest, I was lost. Now, he'd found me and I had everything.

He was lost before me, alive but not living, I brought him back.

When Payne and I made it back to the house it was a mess. The beautiful homey place now looked like a dump with broken windows, furniture and ripped apart rugs. Even the fireplace was broken. With pieces of its bricks fallen into the chimney hole.

"I see you redecorated the house." I bit out humourously and Payne chuckled beside me.

(Warning !! Rated R below )

His hand released my hand and snaked around my waist pulling me up against him. Before I could blink my legs were wrapped around his torso and his lips were crushed against me.

He backed me up against the closed front door. At least that wasn't broken.

His tongue slipped inside my mouth tasting me as his lips devoured mine.

I kissed him back just as hungrily tugging against his lip ring and running my hands through his hair and messing it up even more.

"I want you right now." He growled against my lips and my core instantly responded to his words because I knew deep down I wanted him too.

I missed this, I missed us like this. We never got more than one night to be like this and that needed to change.

Payne's lips left mine and he began placing kisses down my jaw, my neck then to my mark making me release a loud sigh as the pleasure shot throughout my body.

"I love you." He whispered over my skin and I closed my eyes memorizing his words.

"I love you."

Payne pulled back a little and tugged his jersey over his head and the light caught with his nipple ring. I ran my hand down his hard chest, down to his abs and as he pushed me further onto the door I let my fingers slide down his V-line to where the waist band of his pants was.

I couldn't go any further due to our position but Payne ignored it as he pulled back and took off my T-shirt and I reached behind and unclasped my bra.

Payne pushed his face into my breasts kissing both, making me giggle.

Once more pressing me into the door he unbuttoned his pants and let it drop to his ankles.

It was a nice surprise to see that he didn't wear any underwear.

He pulled down my pants and underwear with it and one of his hands moved from my waist to between my legs to my sex.

I let out a moan as he cupped me and he let out a low growl.

His hand moved away quickly and I couldn't help my disappointment.

His errection was straining against my leg and his hand, the one that touched me, moved to hold himself and he quickly positioned himself at my entrance.

I tightened my legs around his waist and prepared myself for the impact of his thrust but to my surprise he let himself slowly slide in.

"Ah.... " I breathed out feeling him stretch me but this time it didn't hurt when he entered me.

Payne let out a harsh breath and slowly he pulled back then thrust again. Driving me insane but somehow I liked it this way.

He kept at a slow pace, driving me insane but had me wanting more. I knew what he was doing.

He didn't want to rush things. We were taking this slow. He was making love to me and savoring the feel of me as I was savoring the feel of him inside of me.

At our first climax I thought we were done but a harsh thrust from Payne had my head falling back against the door.

"Fuck." I hissed out at the slight pain but Payne just smiled at me.

"I'm not done with you yet."

Another hard thrust and I almost screamed at the surprise.

Payne began thrusting hard into me pounding down on the door and it was hard to get a good grip on his shoulders at the rate he was going at.

The door cracked behind me and Payne paused. We both were breathing heavily but once that crack echoed everything stopped.

My laughter broke the silence first but soon Payne's followed.

He caried me up to my room and laid me down and he straddled me once more plunging into me.

By the end of the second hour we were both spent and satisfied.

Payne was lying ontop of me almost completely passed out and I was the same.

The sex was fun but every time Payne entered me and filled me I felt as though we both were filling in the missing spaces in our relationship and for once. Everything felt perfect. No more problems. No more complications.

Maybe this time it would last.
