Damn, he’s good.
A nearly naked Nico and a bottle of wine. The way to my heart.
The bastard smirks as if he can read my thoughts before pouring us each a glass and placing them on the bath tray. He then makes a show of stripping off the last of his clothing before climbing in behind me. Scooting forward, I make room for him as I grab the glass and take a large gulp, not even bothering to observe the flavors.
Nico pulls me back and rests my head against his shoulder.
“I’m sorry,” he whispers into my ear.
I let out a humorless chuckle.
“Do you even know what you’re apologizing for?” I ask quietly, failing to hide the defeat in my voice.
“I don’t want to fight. I know this isn’t easy.”
“Frankly, Nico, we have bigger things to worry about right now.”
“We do, but that doesn’t put our marriage on the back burner.”
“Someone just put out a hit for you. We need to use our time wisely.”
“I haven’t been able to locate where the message came from yet. We might as well hash this out. I don’t want to be those people who sweep things under the rug.”
“I’m not sweeping anything under the rug.”
I totally am. Like a coward.
I really don’t want to drive a wedge between him and his mother. I just don’t want this to be our new normal.
“I want my husband back, Nico. The man I fell in love with in Virginia. That man. Not the man you give everyone else.”
He trails kisses down my shoulder.
“Just a little a while longer,” he whispers.
“What does that even mean? Are you telling me you’re done with the interviews? How much longer is a little longer?”
“It won’t always be like this. After the wedding, things should calm down. I promise I’m gonna try.”
“We both know you can’t keep that promise.”
“Anya—”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
His body stiffens.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I concede.”For now. “I’ll do whatever I have to do,” I tell him, resigning.
His actions will reveal everything soon enough.
“This conversation isn’t over. We’ll figure it out.” He grabs my chin between his pointer finger and thumb and leans in for a kiss.
I open my mouth for him, dropping the issue for now, needing my husband. Letting out a groan, I feel him harden underneath me. Turning to straddle him, I look down at his erection springing to life.
He pulls me close, slowly kissing down the column of my neck, before working his tongue over each hardened nipple. Mynails dig into his shoulders as I grind my hips against his shaft, searching for friction.
