Tyler's POV

We were seated again on her bed. I couldn't even look at her because I felt my blood boiling hot as she continued talking, the tears flowing profusely from her eyes. I wasn't holding her hand anymore. My hand was clenched into fists. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't mad at Tiana but I was definitely pissed at that She-devil that called herself Ciara.

How could she have destroyed her sister like that?

Tiana was fiddling with her fingers as she spoke and sobbed at the same time. I really wanted her to take her in my arms and hold her at that moment because I have a feeling I would crush her because of the anger I felt. She looked so scared and fragile.

"I got too addicted to masturbation, I couldn't go one day without using dildos and vibrators. To be honest, I felt dirty and filthy after each act but I just couldn't help myself. I was already in too deep and it was gonna take a lot for me to stop." She said, blowing into a tissue. I looked at her, my hand telling her to keep going. I obviously had nothing to say, so She continued.

"When I ended stuffs with Joel and I heard he moved away and all, I moved to King. King was my main. We did so many things together. We were not in a relationship, just fuck buddies. Later into our "relationship", he became really aggressive and that would sound weird because he looks weak but he is definitely strong..." She trailed off and I chuckled unconsciously.

"He gave me a bursted lip, I think I know that." I muttered and she nodded. "Go on... " I urged her.

"He would hit me, if he saw me with any guy and he was really possessive. He was a beast practically. He forced me into BDSM, using whips on me, tying me to the bed and..." She was struggling to say it but at the same time she wanted to let it all out. "...till I pass out." I cringed as a imaginary picture of that appeared in my head. He is gonna regret it.

"One time we were having sex, he choked me till I passed out. Ciara got me to the hospital but she said I should have been strong enough to take it. Can you imagine?" She let out a sarcastic laugh and my anger and resentment towards Ciara intensified.

"When my parents told us we were moving away from Abuja, I was the happiest person on earth. I could finally get away from the abuse and pain. I got to Lagos and found out about Joel and Zaria all over IG. I was surprised, for the first time a guy would get over me and I wanted to find out about everything. I was bitter that he was happy and I wasn't. I wanted to destroy the relationship." She choked out, cleaning the tears that kept running.

"I found out about the school and enrolled, not that my parents do care what school I go to. Their own is just to pay the school fees. I got to Limelight's and found out everything was true. I was bent on destroying the relationship but it wasn't working. Nothing I did was working. I was frustrated, jealous, I wanted to feel what they were feeling... Love." She said, looking down and I realized how broken and damaged she was. I felt the strong urge to fix her, one way or another, the need to help her.

"Ciara said I would never find love or someone that would care about me. She said the highest kind of care I would ever feel is her care for me and I had better accept it..." She trailed off again as the tears kept falling and my heart broke into a million pieces.

"Tiana, please..." I trailed off myself, short of words. I was certainly speechless. I was already standing up looking out the window at the cloudy sky.

"You know what, she's actually right." Tiana said and I looked at her bewildered. How could she say that?

"No, she's not." I told her but she shook her head, looking at me for the first time since she showed me those awful toys. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked exhausted from crying too much. She stood up and looked at me in the eye.

"She is. King is back and I really have no idea what to do. I really wouldn't blame you if you walk out that door right now and never come back. You deserve better than me. I'm damaged and broken and I don't think I can be fixed..." I rolled my eyes and moved closer to her.

She trailed off at how close we were. She looked surprised that I could even stand this close to her. She looked down, her shoulder shaking as silent sobs left her lips. I took my index finger to her chin and tilted her head up so she could look at me. My palm also when ahead to cradle her face gently.

"Who said anything about me leaving?" I gently asked her. She kept looking at me as tears ran from her eyes.

"Ty..." She choked out, her sobs increasing. I used my thumbs to clean her eyes gently, running it down to her cheek as I gave it gentle strokes.

It was hard to stay after hearing something like this but I would be a huge coward to leave her like this. None of it was her fault and she was not to blame for anything. I promised her I wouldn't leave and I wouldn't. I'm going to stay with her. I care about her way too much to leave and all she just told me made want to protect her with everything in me. I'm never gonna leave her. She needs me now more than ever.

"I promised you that I won't leave and I won't. Don't ever think I would leave you. None of what happened was your fault and I'm not going to blame you for it. Why would I leave when this is the time I'm supposed to be with you the most?" I looked at her in her tear stained eyes.

"I don't deserve this..." She was crying profusely.

"Yes you do. You deserve all the care and love in this world and I'm willing to give it all. Don't worry about King, you will be fine. Just be careful. Whenever you sense anything off, call me immediately and I'll be here. I'll be here for you, no matter what. That's another promise I'm willing to keep." I told her honestly.

Immediately, Tiana's face pressed against my chest as she cried her eyes out. I closed my eyes as I wrapped my hands around her and pressed her body against mine. I stroked her back gently as I whispered soothing words to her ear, reminding her that I wasn't going to leave. I was definitely ready to go to any length to prove to her that I wanted to really protect her, that I wanted to help her heal. It was going to be a long process but I'll be with all the way.

"It's going to be okay." I told her. She fisted my singlet vest in her arm as she hugged me tighter. Soon her tears subsided and she looked back at me.

"Where did you come from..." She trailed off and I chuckled, looking at her in the eye. She wrapped her hand about my neck, pulled my head down to meet hers and presses her lips against mine. I wrapped my hands around the small of her back, pulled her closer, tilting my head to deepen the kiss...

Tiana's POV

I slipped my hands around his neck, pulling his head down gently as I tiptoed to press my lips against his. Our nose grazed as our lips moved in perfect synchronization. He crouched a little, pressing his body against mine. His lips were really soft and the kiss was slow, tender and passionate.

His hands remained on my waist, though I prefer it when he carries me but it didn't matter, kissing him was becoming an addictive drug I couldn't do without and I knew it wasn't a bad addiction. I tugged on his singlet vest, arching my back into him. I unconsciously ran my fingers down his chest through the cloth, stroking his pecs in the process, earning a throaty groan from him. His hands moved under my knee, crouching down more as he carried me, my legs wrapping around his waist. He backed up and gently placed me on the bed with him hovering over me, suckling on my bottom lips and invading my mouth with his tongue.

The kiss escalated as he ravished my mouth with his tongue. He propped himself up with his left hand but that didn't stop his right hand from dancing around my skin. He soon broke away to leave soft patterns of open mouth kisses across my jaw and to my neck. I sighed in contempt at the toe curling pleasure, holding his biceps, throwing my head to the side to give him better access.

His body was still pressed against mine, though not entirely. Though I didn't want to admit it but my mind began to get clouded with lust. It was only a matter of minutes before I began to feel something poking my stomach and I gasped, realizing he also had his head clouded like mine. My hand made it's way into his vest and my fingers played with his pecs and rock hard packs. I brushed off every warning for me not to loose control like before. I didn't want to loose control but I couldn't help it. This guy was doing things to me and making me feel alive.

Soon his singlet was off to God knows where and he was bare chested. Gosh! He was beautiful. I claimed his lips again and he kissed me back with so much intensity I never knew he had. His kisses were much faster and passionate, for the first time, I couldn't keep up with him and I loved it. His hands made there way into my jersey and his finger traced my skin, making me whimper at how that brought me a sweet sensation. His hands travelled further and settled under my bra. I wrapped my legs around his back and gently pulled him down against my body so there wouldn't be any space between. I gasped, realizing just how aroused he was when I felt his erection press against my core.

You have to stop now...

I pressed my hand against his chest and slightly pushed. He pulled away slightly, his heart beating so fast I feared it would burst out at any moment. His breathing was ragged uncontrolled. His lips were swollen and pink. When he opened his eyes to look at me, it was so clouded, I feared we went to far... I went too far. I tried to steady my breathing as I spoke, my palm on his chest. My own chest was also rising and falling.

"We shouldn't..." I trailed off when his head came to rest at the hollow of my neck as he tried to steady is breathing. His hands weren't on me but on the bed. He was trying to control himself and I loved that.

"We shouldn't pass the limit..." I continued and I felt him nod. I continued. "I want you, to be honest..." He looked up to meet my eyes when I said it. "...but you know I have to know how to handle myself more and better. I am craving this but self-control..." I trailed off again when his hand came to my face.

"You did a really great job right now. I want you so much it hurts. I was loosing control even though I'm supposed to be one with more self control." He stopped and I chuckled. "If you didn't stop me, I don't know what we would be doing right now." He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I'm sorry." He was caressing my cheek. I took his hand and began to kiss each finger. He went off me to lay beside me. It was already 6:30pm. I placed my head on his bare shoulder and he wrapped his hands around me. I unconsciously looked down to his pants and saw that his budge had fine down.

"Well he is less excited." I teased. Tyler looked at me confused. I shifted my eyes from his face to his trouser to give him the sign. He got the gist and widened his eyes.

"Tiana!! Really, you just had to go there." He jumped off the bed and I burst into laughter. His face was priceless.

"Ehn ehn! So you are laughing abi. No problem. Let me get you." He launched at me. I ran off the bed and started to run around the room. He chased me and got me soon enough. He carried me and tackled me on the bed, our hearty laughter filled the room and probably the whole house.

He began to tickle me mercilessly. I laughed my lungs out and also begged him to stop but he wouldn't budge. I was at his mercy. He soon stopped and looked at me lovingly. What did I do to deserve this amazing guy

"Thanks you." I told him with all sincerity. He leaned in and slowly pressed his lips against mine. Unlike the first one today, this one was slow, tender and unrushed. I cupped his face and kissed him back the same way. His hand was on the bed, gripping the shits, probably trying to keep himself from going over board.

"I knew it was just a matter of time before you two starts screwing each other." Ciara menacing voice destroyed the moment.

Tyler pulled away, getting off me to look at Ciara who glared back at him. I got off the bed too and frowned, suddenly angry at the thought that she was definitely the one that set me up for King.

"Well look what the cat dragged in." I replied menacingly and she looked at me, shooting me a deadly glare.

This is going to be long night.

A/N

Yippy!!! Another chapter! I'm sorry for the late update. This semester is the busiest semester and this month is the busiest month in the busiest semester. Everything is stressful but I had to update for you guys. Y'all are my Gees.

Well what do you think about Tyler's reaction? Some people would say "He is so good to be true" but don't classify all guys as "dogs" so to say. There are a lot of real, amazing guys out there that really care about their girls. It's not about him being too good to be true but there are guys that have done way better than what Tyler did for Tiana. It's reasonable.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter tho. Don't forget the usual; vote, comment and share.

Don't forget... I love you guys.
