“Because I won’t fall for your BS? So sorry…” Her voice drips sarcasm

I love Sloan’s backbone But right now, it’s frustrating the hell out of me “We need to talk about this for us”

“Us? You married me for a business deal You fooled ht not be like every other ot what you wanted, then inevitably proving that I neverto you”

I wince “I’ like Darren your ex or Bruce Rawson And I wasn’t lying Corporate games aside, I love you”

“We can’t put the corporate ga ht I wanted to hear You et your hands on Reservoir for your boy, Evan And you had sex with ive you that It almost worked”

“That isn’t the only reason I married you And it damn sure isn’t why I took you to bed”

Sloan rolls her eyes “Stop You don’t have to pretend anymore”

“Baby, I can’t fake this” I take a huge fucking ga her closer and settling her pal to life as she opened the door

She gasps, her fingers slowly curling around o Her startled gaze bounces up to me Electricity arcs between us

Now is my moment

Tangling my free hand in her fiery hair, I tilt her head exactly where I want her “And I sure as fuck can’t fake this, either”

A heartbeat later, I cover her lips withthem apart She opens to me, and the instant her honey-cinna feral unfurls inside me

Groaning, I tug on her hair and release her wrist to palainst her, greedily grabbing a handful of her backside while consu every delectable inch of her , not touching me in return

Fuck I need to downshift She’s saying no without saying anything Even if it kills o now, I need to respect her boundaries Then I need to find another way to prove how I feel

Why the fuck didn’t I anticipate the Becca question causing a problem between us?
