“Would you have let me go? Tell me honestly.” I add before she can answer. “You wouldn’t have stayed away and let me handle it on my own.”
“No, but it wasn’t your decision to make. There are two of us in this relationship, you don’t get to arbitrarily decide things for me, especially not when those decisions hurt me.”
I grab her waist and pull her against me, relishing the feel of her body against mine. It’s been too long. “I’m sorry I lied to you and hurt you, but I can’t apologize for the decision I made. I’d make the same one again if given the choice.”
“You didn’t sleep with her?”
“I didn’t even touch her. You’re the only one I want. There’s no one else for me.”
She pushes against my chest and I reluctantly let her go.
“I don’t know, Rogue.” She says, not meeting my eyes.
“Please.”
My tone is desperate and imploring. Her gaze snaps up to mine, surprised to hear it.
“Do you want me to beg? I’ll get on my knees right now if that’s what it’ll take for you to forgive me.” I drop down on one knee but she puts a hand out, stopping me.
“Don’t.”
I look up at her expectantly, breath held in my chest as I wait for her decision.
“I forgive you. But,” She adds, holding a hand up to stop my movement. “You’re in the doghouse. You’ve got some groveling to do.”
“Fuck yes.” I exclaim. I wrap my arms around her middle and stand to my feet, swinging her around in a circle as she laughs happily. “You’re so fucked, baby. Because now that I have you, I’m never letting you go.”

Rogue carries me into my bedroom and kicks the door shut behind him before dropping me on the bed. I get up on my elbows and watch him as he rips his shirt off. The defined ridges of his abdomen ripple in the dimly lit room.
I reach for him but he grabs my wrist and holds it to the side. I pout, looking up at him.
He places a knee between my legs and uses it for support as he bends over me. Grabbing the collar of my shirt on both sides, he tugs sharply at it, ripping it in half away from my body.
I lay below him in my bra as his hungry gaze devours me. His lips leave featherlight kisses on my chest, breasts and down to my flat stomach. My eyes roll into the back of my head as his tongue swirls around my belly button before dipping in.
“You owe me a few answers first.” He says, capturing both my hands and pinning them above my head.
“What?” I ask, confused.
“Jeremy.” He snarls. “I need to know.”
I decide to niggle at him. “That’s not relevant. We weren’t together then.”
He freezes above me, his head lifting to look at me as his eyes search mine. “You’re playing with fire, Bell. I’m not in the mood to be toyed with, and never when it comes to another man touching you. Did he ask you out?”
“Yes.”
His grip on me tightens as a growl comes from deep in his chest. “Did you say yes?”
I shake my head.
“Did he kiss you?” He asks, running a thumb across my lips and sending a shiver coursing through my body.
