I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 106

Zoe said softly, “That’s not it.” Then, she averted her gaze and spoke even more quietly, “I’m having my period.”

Mason was a little startled.

Then, he came back to his senses and couldn’t help but touch her warm cheeks. Zoe never wore makeup when she was at home. He was touching her bare skin and it was irresistible.

Staring at her, he could not help but laugh. “Am I that much of a monster in your eyes, Zoe? Do you think I’ll force myself on you when you’re on your period?”

Her eyes were slightly wet with tears, but she didn’t answer him.

He got his answer from her reaction. She probably thought he cared only about pleasuring himself, even if it was at the cost of his wife’s well-being. And she would’ve been right.

He had never cared about her in the past and he liked to do it rough, but he had never done it with her when she was having her period.

Grabbing her slender arm, he pulled her up and let her sit on his lap. Zoe wasn’t used to this kind of intimacy. They had never been this close before. He had only ever held her when they were having sex, and he’d never allowed her to sit on his lap.

Noticing her tear-stained eyes, he caressed her gently and asked her tenderly, “Was I too rough the last time we did it?”

That question embarrassed her.

It had been a few days since they did it in the bathroom, but the way he had forced himself on her, the humiliating positions they were in, and the insults he lobbed at her still gave her chills and made her shiver.

She kept convincing herself that it didn’t matter, but they were a couple and that meant there was no avoiding sex. Mason’s tendency to have rough sex scared her. They might have been married for several years now, but he had never gone all out with her in sex.

Zoe decided she wouldn’t answer him.
