Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1924

Her mind was a whirl of heated thoughts and emotions, leaving her unable to push him away. She felt utterly drained of strength.

It wasn't until she found herself pinned on the couch that she snapped back to reality, hastily placing her hands on his chest in a feeble attempt to stop him.

Fitch looked down at her, noticing a glimmer of lucidity in her eyes. Gently, he followed the path of her hand, kissing his way upward.

Men, it seems, don’t need to learn how to please a woman; it comes naturally when they desire to.

That fleeting moment of clarity vanished as quickly as it appeared, and Zoey's eyes clouded over.

She'd never been this close with a man before, so it was only natural that her emotions were running high.

"Stop..."

Her voice trembled, but her arms were too weak to push him away.

She felt like she was adrift in an endless ocean, waves crashing over her, making her entire being sway. It all felt so unreal.

Fitch intended to keep her in this haze, away from clarity.

His touches were gentle, leaving only the faintest traces on her skin.

Zoey grasped at his hair, her toes curling uncontrollably.

A flash of white crossed her mind, and she gasped for air.

Fitch paused, wiping his mouth, seeing her in total disarray. He knew it was almost time.

Just as he was about to take the final step, the lights in the room suddenly flicked on. Nolan stood at the bottom of the stairs, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Daddy, what are you doing?"

The harsh light and the child's voice snapped Zoey back to reality.

Fitch quickly grabbed a nearby blanket, covering her entirely, then turned to his bewildered son.

Nolan looked from his dad, who was now shirtless but still in his jeans, muscles tense, to Zoey.

Fitch put a hand to his forehead, momentarily wishing he could just toss the kid back to bed.

So close! They were so close!

Nolan, still rubbing his eyes, glanced between them.
