“I don’t approve of you being with her while you’re married to me.” That will not happen. She is mine, and no one else gets to have her while she’s with me. I’ll never have a sidepiece, and neither will she. Does that make me as bad as her father? Am I a manipulating, controlling bastard? A part of me doesn’t even care if I am because the simple fact is, she is mine.

“I wouldn’t do that to you. I mean, I would if you were a cheating asshole. Why would I stay faithful? That’s just stupid. And I’m sorry, but I am not like your mother.”

She’s talking about how my father cheated on my mother throughout their marriage, and my mother stayed with him and remained faithful until the day he died. He didn’t deserve her, or her loyalty, he deserved nothing from her.

“I’m glad you aren’t like her,” I say, smiling, and she smiles back. A real one. Bright and content, making her glow.

“I like her. Do you think she likes me?” Adora asks, and the look in her eyes is the sweetest she’s given me. That’s all I want to see now. “My mother ran off when I was young, and my sister’s mother hated me. All I had was my father, who saw me as a possession because I wasn’t a boy.”

“She loves you. If you had flicked through my messages, you would have seen that she messages every day to check on you.”

“You can give her my number,” she says, her smile growing.

“I will, but don’t blame me when you become best friends with her and then you can’t get rid of her.”

“She has Sailor.”

“No, Keir has Sailor.”

“Are your mother and Sailor not close?” she asks, tilting her head, and my hand brushes her hair over her shoulder with the movement.

“They are, but I have a feeling you two will have more in common.”

“Joey.”

“Hmm…”

“I’m ready for round two.” She sits up and removes her towel, dropping it to the floor beside us. Then she scoots backward until she reaches my briefs, freeing my cock. “Do you want me on my knees, Joey, like a good girl?”

Fuck. My cock strains, and her eyes flick to it with a smile. She gets off the bed and drops to her knees. I reach for my phone as she clasps my cock in her small hand, then her mouth covers the tip, her tongue flicks out, and her eyes meet mine.

“Stay still.” I unlock my phone and take a photograph.

“See what a good girl you are? Now I can set that as my screen saver.” She doesn’t tell me no, and you can’t see my cock, just her eyes looking up with something in her mouth.

It’s beautiful, just as she is.

Fuck.

Fuck.

I’m going to fall in love with my wife.

And I’m not sure how I feel about that.

TWENTY-SIX

ADORA

Every day for three days straight, we fucked, we ate, and we slept together. We spoke often but kept things basic, discussing things like his brother, his family, and my love for books. He tells me how much he despises but respects Lucas. That his brother is a man he respects not just because they are related but for who he is as a person.

He reads a lot, but we don’t have the same taste in reading material. So I gave him one of the books I love, and he devoured it. It’s called The Sweet Gum Tree written by Katherine Allred. When he finished, he sat there speechless and then offered me a smile.

“I can see the appeal.”

“Wait until you get to the dirtier books.” I offered him a wink. Then we left to head home.

Now we’re sitting in a car on our way back to his place. I guess I should say our place.
