The way Kordin fucks me now, it’s premeditated. When he first started doing it, I hated him, even more than I already did, because despite being fucked in the same way more times than I care to admit while I worked at The Playground, I never felt…worthless. I had a job to do then, and I did it. I went through the motions of sex but never the emotions associated with it. Then I married Kordin and I became less robotic, less mechanical. I let myselffeel. Not much but enough to get my hopes up. Hopes that were crushed the second I got that diagnosis.

Reece not being disgusted by the prospect of impregnating me doesn’t change the fact I can’t get pregnant. Not by him, not by anybody.

Not right now. I don’t even know what my right now is. Everything’s fucked.

“For the record, it’d be my choice if I kept the baby,” I say before I forget to. The fucking audacity.

“Ourbaby,” he says without looking up from his pants as he tucks himself back into them.

I ignore him and the things those words do to my insides.

“Just like it’d be my choice when, how, and why I leave Kordin.”

His hands still and he meets my gaze. “Not would be. Will be. You’re fucking leaving him. I told you once I touched you, no other man would. That hollow piece of shit’s name is at the top of that list, Lex.”

“God. Don’t tell me I took your virginity, too.”

“I’m not clingy. I’m fucking territorial. What’s mine is mine.”

I stare at Reece long and hard, a thousand replies running through my mind. I settle on the simplest, saying, “Don’t do that.”

“Don’t do what?”

“Don’t turn this into something it doesn’t need to be.”

He comes over, cups my pussy, and says, “Too late.”

I smack his hand off, and when he sends his other one out, I smack that, too.

Reece’s nostrils flare a second before he shoots forward, so I jab his chest, making him crouch over with a loud exhale. Not slowing his advance one bit, he plants his shoulder into my side, throwing me off-balance. Fisting the back of his shirt to catch myself, I bring my knee up into his ribs. The sound he makes has my lips twitching.

On a growl, Reece rips one of my legs out from under me, causing me to fall flat on my ass.

Towering over me, he grinds out, “Do youeverstop fighting?”

“Never,” I pant before flipping a hand toward him. “Aren’t you supposed to be sweet?”

“I tried telling you I wasn’t, but you didn’t listen. Why’d you hit me?”

I cock an eyebrow up at him. “Why’d you grab me?”

“To show you who you—”

“As a thief you’re used to stealing what doesn’t belong to you, but I’m no man’s, therefore I can’t be stolen. You want something from me, earn it.”

“We just fucking—”

“One test drive does not an owner make, rook,” I tsk.

Without any notice whatsoever, Reece yanks me up to standing again, then one hand pressed to the small of my back, he crushes my front to his.

“Mm,” I hum at the feel of his new erection. What a nice surprise. Most men go back to being useless after climax.

Sliding his other hand lower, he kneads my ass cheek, causing a delicious friction with each squeeze.

“On God, you’re the only woman to get me hard again fresh off a nut.”

“You’re the only man to soothe the pain he caused me,” I confess quietly. He did the same thing with my scalp at The Playground. I hated it then, but this time, I…don’t.
