God, I know I shouldn’t think about this.
But I can’t help myself.
She would be a good wife. For anyone.
Not for Rickie of course… I don’t want her anywhere near a guy like that.
But for someone who deserves her, sure.
Not that I can imagineanyonewith Emma but me.
Shit, I actuallyhatethe idea of Emma with anyone but me.
If my life were anything different, then this could be real.
It’s been a long time since I thought my life could be like this. Since Justine. I always kinda just assumed that I would be the same guy I have been for the rest of my life—a hired hand, the guy who does whatever he needs for money.
But that’s a dangerous life.
Not the sort of life for a husband.
I know the mob guys all have wives and families, but they have loyalty and protection surrounding them. They have bonds and people who will protect them for life, especially when they are high up in the ranks.
But not me. I have no one.
I’m the lone wolf.
A lone wolf with a target on his back can’t have a wife.
Especially not a young, beautiful woman like Emma.
She deserves so much more.
I avert my eyes because I have to. If I don’t, I’m going to get lost in the worries… I’ll drown in these thoughts that can’t ever amount to anything anyway.
I need to stop before we both end up in trouble.
“So, Owen,” Emma starts, breaking the silence with a side-eyed glance. “Tell me more about your life outside of this. Do you have, you know, some kind of girlfriend or wife waiting at home for you?”
I toss my head back and bellow with laughter. “You really think I would be fucking around with you if I did?”
“Fucking around with me?” she whispers back.
I don’t think she liked that phrasing.
Truth be told, it doesn’t feel right.
Unfortunately it’s out there now. I’ve already said it… I can’t take it back.
Shit, I hope she forgives me.
“So, in your past life, with your previous relationships or whatever, what was the sex like?”
There’s a cheeky glint in her eyes.
She wants to know if I’ve always been this kinky.
Do Ireallywant to get into it with her?
