Keeping You Forever (A Harbor Love Series) by Jaclyn Marulanda

any idea how much that hurt me? I loved you! You were my entire life! I gave you the world Missy and you threw it away over wedding jitters?”
     “I told you I’m sorry about that. Can’t you find it in your heart to forgive me? I want to be your wife. I am ready to be your wife now and spend the rest of my life with you. Don’t you miss holding me in your arms like this and kissing me? You used to love kissing me when you got home from work. The first thing you would do was come find me and pull me in and hold me and kiss me until we were both breathless. Don’t you want that again, don’t you miss it. I know I do and right now being here with you like this makes me want it even more,” she brushed her lips over his and pressed her body tightly against his. “Please Tyler I miss you. I love you baby you know I do. Let me make it up to you right now.” Her lips were on his before he could tell her to stop and she was kissing him. It was a kiss that made him feel nothing and all he could do was think about kissing Grace. He tried to pull back, pushing her hips away from his body.
     “Missy please,” he said as she pushed herself up against him again and kissed him.
     “I know you want me you always have. I am yours Tyler I will always be yours,” she said wrapping herself tightly around him.
     Just than they were both pushed forward by the front door opening and Grace stood there feeling her entire world come crashing down on her. It was like she was in a dream and tried to turn to leave but her body wasn’t responding and she couldn’t move. Her heart dropped at the sight of Tyler holding Missy and kissing her the way he had just kissed her last night, she could feel the tears falling down her cheeks.
    “Grace please this is not what you think. I was leaving to go find you and she showed up here and she kissed me.”
     “Tyler you don’t have to explain anything to her. We are getting married she means nothing,” Missy said, pulling Tyler closer to her body.
     “Get off of me already Missy,” he unwrapped himself from her arms and turned reaching for Grace but she took a step back. “Don’t do this Grace please. She means nothing. I want you! I had no idea she was going to show up here!” He felt his heart kick against his chest when he saw the look on Grace’s face and the tears running down her cheeks. He took a step closer reaching for her again but she shook her head. She wiped her tears and turned and walked away leaving him standing on his front porch with Missy standing behind him.
     “Just let her go Tyler. You have me. You have everything you need right here,” Missy said. She wrapped her arms around his waist and began kissing him on his neck.
     “Would you stop, and let go of me. We are done Missy. Get it through your head! What we had is over and is never going to happen again! I don’t love you anymore and I don’t want to be with you! I want Grace. Just leave already all you’re doing is fucking this up for me, just like you fucked up my life in California. Go back home and don’t come back here looking for me, it’s over!” He left her standing on the porch with her mouth open in shock as he went after Grace.
     It didn’t take him long to get to her house. He saw that her car was gone and he hoped that maybe one of her sisters had taken it. He needed to tell her that Missy meant nothing to him, that she was all he wanted and needed. He made it to the front door just as it swung open and Paige stormed out looking like she was ready to kill him.
    “What the hell did you do to my sister? Give me two good reasons I should not kick you in the balls right now!”
     “Where is she? I need to talk to her!”
     “I don’t think so. You’ve done enough damage; she came in here in tears. I’ve never seen her like that before! She wouldn’t even talk to me, she just said she was sick and tired of men like Denny and you taking advantage of her and she was done with all of
