“You have me.”

A shudder runs through him at my words but before I can say more, he’s pressing into me. My body ceding to his hardness as he rocks into me, long and slow. His hands move over every inch of me until I’m nothing but putty in his arms. He whispers words I can’t hear, and dots kisses all over my skin as water falls on us.

As I feel my body pulse with my climax, just out of reach, his hand moves between us and he circles my clit with his thumb, always giving me what I need. I cry out as my legs spasm, a wave of pleasure dragging me under as my orgasm pulses and my pussy clamps around his dick.

“Fuck, Audrey.”

I feel him swell and fill me with his seed and it’s a connection like none we’ve shared before. As if all of the obstacles between us have been swept away, leaving a clean slate.

“Can we get past this, Belle? Can you ever forgive me?”

His dick is still inside me, his arms holding me close as he breathes the question against my lips.

“I’ve already forgiven you, Hudson. We both made mistakes. But I don’t know if I’ll ever trust anyone again, and you deserve more than a woman who can’t trust what is right in front of her. I just don’t see how we can move forward with so much to face. I need to be there for my father and my mom. You have Tia and we’re different people now.”

“Are we? I still love you, Audrey. I always have.”

His words rip a hole right through my heart, and I know I can’t deny I feel the same, but I can’t say it back, not like that.

“Hudson, a part of me will always love you, but we’re not the same. I run a billion-dollar company and my days are filled with work.”

“They don’t have to be.”

“Hudson, you don’t get it. I can’t be what you need.”

“What is it you think I need?”

“A family. A wife who can give you children.”

He shakes his head. “You’re wrong. I need the woman I love fighting every battle we face beside me. I need you, not the promise of a family that may or may not happen anyway.”

I shake my head as I disentangle myself from his arms and step from the shower. Grabbing a towel, I dry off as he follows me, naked and confident in his own skin.

“You think that now but, believe me, you’ll change your mind when the shine has worn off.”

He dries his chest with a towel, and I can’t help but admire him. He’s so handsome it should be a crime.

“Hey, my eyes are up here.”

My head snaps up and I grin at his teasing even in the middle of such a serious discussion. He always had that ability to lighten any moment for me. His arms come around me and he pins me with his gaze.

“Audrey, if the shine hasn’t worn off after ten years of you hating me, do you honestly think it will when I have you in my bed every night?”

“Maybe it’s the thrill of the chase?”

“Do you honestly believe that?”

I shrug instead of answering because I know, for me, it won’t but then he’s whole, he’s perfect in every way.

“You don’t and neither do I. How about this? We spend the next however long living as if this is real. You give me a chance to show you what you mean to me. You give me the chance to win back your trust.”

I know I shouldn’t but the opportunity to pretend and live in this lie is too tempting. “And what do I get in return?”

I know what I’m getting, him making this whole ruse believable for my parents. He says he loves me, but he doesn’t. It’s just good sex for him. How can you love a broken doll?

“Orgasms, Audrey. You get as many as I can give you, and you get me, your husband, loving on you and betting on you every single day for as long as you let me.”

God, when he says things like that, he makes me want to dive in with both feet and not worry about whether I sink or swim. He makes me want to believe this is real.
