He spread her legs and pulled her to the edge of the table, lowering himself to her center. The moment Hendrix pushed her panties to the side and licked between her saturated folds, Nobu gripped the back of his head as her neck and back arched and eyes closed.

“Tonight has been perfect,”Nobu admitted as they sat in her enclosed patio.
That patio was what had her most excited when she first saw the house years ago. The patio was inside and could be accessed through the bedroom, living room, and exterior of the house on the side. She had several plants out there, a heater, and a TV. It was just as therapeutic as she thought it would be.
“We can still enjoy ourselves together, and that’s good.”
Nobu nodded in agreement. They’d gone dancing and had just as good of a time as they used to after dinner. The divorced couple had a lot of the same interests—dancing and music, coffee, sports, and gaming. They both loved to read. Nobu loved shopping and swimming as well while Hendrix loved a good game of golf and club hopping. Nobu preferred lounges because they were usually less crowded and rowdy, but she always felt safe and secure with Hendrix and enjoyed herself with him.
“Yeah, and the sex is even better somehow. Didn’t think that was possible.”
Hendrix gave her a knowing smile before chuckling and taking a sip of his wine. “I haven’t had that pussy for three years, Bu. You’d better damn well believe I’m pulling out all the stops and filling you with my seeds every chance I fucking get.”
Her body heated and nipples hardened from his response. She’d been in cream pie city more since they reconnected than she had been while they were apart. The dating she’d done over the years hadn’t amounted to much of anything, even with her ex, Lamar, randomly proposing to her after three months of dating. Nobu wouldn’t deny they were having a great time with each other, but marriage was the last thing on her mind at that point.
“About that…” She cleared her throat and sat up in her seat. “I haven’t taken the Plan B pills yet. I figured we could get the most out of today and tomorrow before I take them. After that, you’ll need to pull out until we figure out what we’re doing.”
“I can agree to that, but I also would like to know what it is you want, because I’ve made it clear what I’m doing.”
That was true. It didn’t matter how much Nobu tried to downplay what was happening between them, Hendrix made it clear that he wanted his wife back. While Nobu wanted him too, there was a part of her that wasn’t sure she could trust that. Self-preservation over the last three years made it difficult for her to submit to any man and trust him to care for her and not hurt her—even Hendrix.
“I would love for us to get back together, but I’m also hesitant to trust you right now. There are a lot of things you said and promised that you didn’t deliver on, Henny. It’s not as easy for me to just… trust your words right now. When you leave home, you can go back to Austin and fall back into your old habits, then what? I’ll have to detach from you all over again.”
“I understand that fear, and your feelings and concerns are valid.” He paused, and Nobu was glad. She needed a moment to let his words resonate within her. Communication was hit or miss for them when they were married. They could talk, but it seemed as if it took quite some time for one to process the other’s words. That was the first time that she’d openly expressed how she felt, and Hendrix didn’t try to excuse or justify it to avoid accountability for making her feel that way. Gritting her teeth, Nobu briefly hung her head to keep her eyes dry. “I know that when we were married, I said one thing while my actions said another. It was never my intention to make you believe anything other than God was more important to me than you. There are a million words I could say to express that, but I would rather show you that I’m worthy of your trust. So, I acknowledge your fear and hesitation, and I will alleviate both through my actions, okay, Bu?”
At that point, Nobu was unable to hold her tears back. She stood and walked over to him. Straddling his lap, she cupped his cheek and covered his lips with hers. While she wouldn’t blindly go all in trusting Hendrix, no matter how much she loved him, Nobu was more than willing to give him the chance to show her that a relationship with him would be just as safe and stable as it was when they first met.
ChapterFour
Hendrix
As upset as Hendrix wanted to be with his parents, all he could do was shake his head. It was December fourth, the first Sunday of the month, and they insisted on him and Nobu joining them for brunch after church. Hendrix had made it clear to them that they were taking things slow, but that didn’t stop his parents from basically planning their second wedding while they ate. Hendrix couldn’t imagine how difficult things had been for Nobu after their divorce.
They had removed each other from all social media, and she’d gone as far as to stop going to the seven o’clock service on Sundays to avoid seeing his family. Everything in Memphis reminded her of him. She didn’t have an easy way out like she thought Hendrix did. He was in a completely new city and state, but that didn’t stop his mind from being consumed by thoughts of her.
“I’m really sorry about that,” Hendrix said, opening the door of his S Class Benz for her. “I told them we weren’t officially back together but obviously what I say doesn’t matter.”
Nobu laughed softly as she got into the car, showing him those deep dimples he’d fallen in love with. She looked beautiful as always, dressed in a cream two-piece pants suit with her hair in a high, neat bun.
“My parents are the same way, so I don’t mind.”
With a nod of relief, Hendrix closed the door and made his way to the driver’s side. Once he was settled inside and pulling out of his parents’ driveway he told her, “I have to meet with a potential client for a round of golf at three. What are your plans for tomorrow?”
Nobu shrugged as she looked out of the window. “I think I’m gonna go to the store and fix a few meals to give away to the homeless downtown. With me taking the entire month off and leaving things to my employees, I have a lot of free time on my hands. All the Christmas plans I have are really for weekends and evenings, so my days are free.”
“That’s good to know. I’ll adjust my schedule accordingly.”
Nobu looked over at him with a small smile and took his hand into hers. The night before, they talked about how she’d hired three employees and decided to take the first extended break she’d have since she went into business as a crime scene cleaner. Hendrix was proud of her, because though his career was always a topic of conversation between them, her hours were just as long and sporadic. The only difference was, Nobu had the discipline to say no to jobs when she needed to—Hendrix didn’t.
“You’re really dedicated to making the most out of this month we have together huh, Henny?”
“Absolutely. Even if you are still unsure when I go back to Austin I’m not letting up. I want to plant enough seeds while we have the chance to be together often to make sure thoughts and positive feelings bloom for me every day that I’m gone.”
“Trust me, you don’t have to worry about that,” she admitted. “I’m missing you already and you haven’t even left yet.”
“If that’s the case, why don’t you come to my suite later? We can have dinner at the hotel and see what else we can get into tonight.”
