“You just caught me on a good day.”
I snuggled into his shoulder, inching closer to him. We rocked slowly to the music, but it was such a sexy song. His face conveyed so many emotions in a matter of seconds, and I paid attention to every last one.
We swayed to the music as he hummed the melody. I placed the side of my face on his chest, wanting to live in this moment with him. Where it was just the two of us in our baby girl’s nursery.
“You want to know something, Ledger?” I whispered in his ear, standing on the tips of my toes.
“I want to know everything, sugar.”
“You make me want to forget the past.”
Nothing about my statement was funny. Not even a little bit. He looked down at me, and I stared up at him. He had this pained look on his face, and I wondered if I wore the same expression as we continued to move.
He unexpectedly spun me around, dipping me, catching me off guard with his lips skimming my neck and then my mouth.
“Life can be simple, Hazel, but sometimes it’s not that easy.”
I faintly nodded.
“I can’t tell you enough how sorry I am for what I did.”
“I know.”
“Do you? Have you forgiven me?”
“I don’t know. I want to, but I just… it’s hard.”
“I’m not asking you to forget. I just need you to forgive me.”
“I’m trying. I swear to you I am. I still can’t believe you did all of this for me today,” I breathlessly rasped, licking my lips like I was preparing them for him.
“I’d do anything for you.”
“Anything?”
Brushing my lips along his, I coaxed, “Be with me then.”
It was what I wanted.
Needed.
And I wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Twenty-Three
Hazel
“Iam with you.”
“No, I mean, I want you inside me.”
He rubbed my belly. “I am.”
“Ledger, please…” I begged, fully aware he knew what I was asking for. “I know you want to.”
“Of course, I do.”
“Then give it to me, cowboy.”
