"Would you have gone without physical coercion?"
"No."
"There is your answer."
"So, you came to New York instead?"
"Don't misunderstand, wife. I am here to bring you home. But the only one that will carry your resistant body onto that airplane is me."
"You can't do that."
"Can't I?"
We both know he can. And more importantly, that he would.
I cross my arms over my bare breasts, hiding them from his gaze as much as I am showing my annoyance with body language. "I'm perfectly safe here with my family."
"I am your family."
"So are they."
"Neri and I are yourprimaryfamily," Raff says, no give in his deep tones.
"And am Iyourprimary family?"
Raff kisses me. Hard. "Yes."
"Then you should never have let your dad make that appointment with the fertility clinic."
"You are right."
I am? I mean, I know I am. But he does too?
"The shift in the power dynamic in our syndicate has been hard on my father and I chose to let him meddle in our lives rather than business." Raff sounds almost ashamed.
"That's a crappy thing to do." How am I supposed to believe he loves me?
Raff's smile isn't a happy one. "Yes. But remember, I was operating on the false belief it would not hurt you."
"What did you think was going to happen?"
"I damn well didn't think you would see allowing my father to insert himself into our lives as proof that I don't care about you."
"How was I supposed to take it? It sure as heck wasn't a compliment, or proof that my opinions mattered to you."
"When did I ever dismiss your opinions?" He shifts my body against his, rubbing my nether lips up and down his shaft.
My clit is so sensitive that I jerk every time he brushes against it.
"Stop that."
He stops moving me, but doesn't let me shift back on his thighs.
I roll my eyes. "Do you really have to ask that?"
"Yes, I do. Even the appointment with Dr. Hewitt was made under the assumption youwantedto get pregnant. You'd never told me otherwise."
I think back to all the times my father-in-law stuck his oar into my marriage. He insisted on me and Raff moving into the mansion Raff and his brother had been raised in. I'd wanted to buy our own home and build our own memories.
