“You want to dance?” Brunette asks as she puts her arms around me and starts grinding against me. I have no choice but to put my hands on her hips to catch my balance against her. She giggles up at me.
Dax touches my shoulder to get my attention. His girl is hanging on his arm, practically drooling on him. “I’ll leave the music playing for you. I’m headed off to bed. Feel free to take one of the guest rooms.”
Brunette grinds against me some more. “Hmm. I’d like to take a tour of the guest room. Want to take the party there?” She smiles suggestively at me and runs her hand down my chest to my cock. Unbidden, it jumps to a firm salute.
I knew how this would end the minute I agreed to come here.
This will seal my fate. If I have sex with this girl, Liz will never forgive me.
No, that’s not right. She told me we’re done. She told me to go out with other women. Liz doesn’t want me. She couldn’t care less about who I fuck or don’t fuck as long as it doesn’t involve her.
At least this girl wants me, even if it’s for a few hours.
I wish my brain wasn’t so damn fuzzy.
I can’t think straight.
“Are you coming?” she pulls at my hand.
I shake my head to clear it. “Yeah, screw it. That’s a great idea. Let’s take this party into the guest room. I bet you know how to have a good time.”
She takes my hand and flicks her tongue around my ring finger. She pushes my finger fully into her mouth and sucks it quick in and out. “Oh, yeah, I know how to have a good time. Let me show you.”
She tugs my other hand and pulls me into the guest room.
After the smallest hesitation, I close the door behind us.
Chapter 18
Liz
Ethan never came home last night. I know I told him to go, to have fun. I didn’t actually think he’d do it. Not so soon after . . . us.
At one a.m., I thought he’d walk through the door any minute. He was just proving a point, right? That he can go out and do whatever he wants.
At two a.m., I thought he’d probably just decided to stay until the bar shut down for the night. I figured he’d be home any minute.
By three a.m., I realized he wasn’t coming home. He must’ve found somewhere else to sleep for the night.
By four a.m., I’m a wreck. I know for certain that he’s with another woman. I feel it to my bones. What kind of man tells a woman he wants to be with her and then a week later is with another woman?
Ethan, that’s who.
Ethan, who only cares about himself. If he cared for me at all, he would have at least hidden his sex life from me. Instead, he’s choosing to shove it down my throat at the first opportunity.
I was right about him all along. I knew he wasn’t capable of changing.
At least I have one thing going for myself. At least I never told him I love him.
I can finally admit it.
“I love him,” I whisper out loud before breaking into heart-wrenching sobs.
I love him, and he broke my damn heart. Not once, but twice now. I don’t know how I can go through this again. The thought of living life without him is more than I can think about.
Am I incapable of being loved by anyone? My fiancée left me, my parents left me, Ethan left me. Every relationship that I’ve ever had has failed. Maybe it’s not them. Maybe it’s me. I try to make everyone happy around me, but somehow I have failed.
The only one I haven’t failed is Matthew. I will be strong for him. I’ll protect him. I’ll do whatever I need to do to ensure that he has a full and happy life. That means there are decisions to be made.
