Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 75

As Cherry felt Kevin's passion, her beautiful eyes twinkled with triumph. She realized that she had crossed an invisible barrier and she was about to become his woman.

As long as Kevin slept with her, she would see to it that he would be completely infatuated with her. And in that way Anne wouldn't stand a chance to be with him.

With these thoughts in her mind, Cherry doubled her efforts and fervently started removing her clothes, so that Kevin could feel her sensuous body and lose himself in her.

Kevin felt Cherry's cool bare skin under his palms. His breathing grew faster in anticipation to make Cherry his woman. Just as he was about to claim her, Anne's face suddenly flashed through his mind.

He felt as if someone splashed him with ice water. He was numb all over. He let go of Cherry who was in his arms.

Cherry was shocked with Kevin's abruptness.

"Kevin, what's wrong?

Without Kevin to cover her, Cherry was almost naked.

Kevin couldn't look at Cherry's body anymore. He abruptly got out of bed and quickly put on his shirt.

"Cherry, it's late. I'm tired. Please go back to your room."

He was unable to understand what was happening to him. Anne's face popped out in his mind at the critical moment. And he wouldn't be able to do anything knowing that the woman under him was Cherry and not Anne.

Cherry was surprised with Kevin's words. Her eyes dimmed with unhappiness.

"Kevin, what's wrong with you? We were just about…"

Cherry being a woman, she was too shy to say the words out loud. However the message could be read quite clearly in her beautiful eyes.

She could feel that he clearly wanted her, but she didn't expect him to stop at this very moment.

"Cherry, I always keep my word and I will do what I've promised Anne."

He brought up the agreement, because at the moment he couldn't think of any other excuse to refuse Cherry.

"Kevin, I just want you. I want to be your woman now!"

She completely lost it when she heard Kevin take Anne's name. It was because of Anne. Again! She was furious when she realized that Kevin could control his desire for her because of Anne and the agreement.

She was trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't. Because she didn't believe Kevin stopped himself for a mere agreement. Anne had to be the main reason for this change in his mood.

These thoughts running through Cherry's mind made her all the more desperate and unwilling to make Kevin walk away from her so easily. She had to make him desperate for her and make him claim her. Only then would she be at ease.

Without giving a second thought about her nakedness, Cherry quickly got out of bed and walked to Kevin. She hugged him, making sure her entire body was pressed intimately to his.

However, Kevin who had calmed down by now, was sickened and annoyed by Cherry's behavior. He could feel the beginnings of anger taking root, but he knew he couldn't lose his temper.

"Cherry, stop this. Go back to your room and get some rest. We'll talk about this later." Impatiently Kevin unwrapped Cherry's arms from his body and pushed her away from him. He sounded so cold and distant.

Cherry couldn't believe that Kevin pushed her away again. She looked at him with eyes filled with grief and bitterness. Her beautiful eyes quickly filled with tears.

"Okay, I'll go…" She turned away dejectedly as if her world had come to an end. She picked up her pajamas and started slowly putting them on. She felt as if they weighed a ton.

She sobbed quietly with tears running down her cheeks. Hearing her quiet sobs, Kevin was irritated and felt a little bit guilty for his behavior towards her.

He couldn't help but refuse her, even though he knew it would make her sad.

"Cherry, I..."

He was unsure what to say to her. He wanted to say something to comfort her. But, somehow he knew whatever he would say, it would only make her more sad.

"Kevin, you don't have to explain anything. Actually, I don't think I want to hear your explanation right now."

Cherry was afraid that she would not be able to hear that Anne was the actual reason for Kevin pushing her away. She did not want to accept it.

Without looking at Kevin, Cherry ran out of the bedroom, crying.

Once she reached her room, she slammed the door shut. She was furious. She was sure that the only reason behind Kevin's change of behavior towards her was Anne. Somehow Anne was much more important to him than she thought. The very thought of it made Cherry queasy to her very core. She couldn't let this go on.

The morning sun was shining brightly in the room. Anne forgot to close the curtains before going to sleep last night. She groaned and turned away from the glare of the sun. She tried to open her eyes, but they felt as though her eyelids were stuck together. With a lot of effort and will power she tried to open her eyes, but her strength failed her. She felt very weak.

Her mouth was dry and felt as if it was filled with cotton. Desperately in need of water, she struggled to sit up. She walked slowly towards the table for a glass of water. She grabbed the glass, but the effort to walk drained her of her remaining energy. Her body was shivering with weakness. The glass slipped from her hand and shattered into pieces on the floor, moments before her legs gave way.
