As I kept staring at her, I guess she realized she had said something wrong.
“What I meant was that he’s a man. He needs comfort too.”
She changed the topic because she knew she had messed up.
“And you’re not enough to give him that comfort,” I taunted.
Every time I said something like that, she looked shocked.
Which kind of shocked me in return because she wanted to have this conversation, so of course I was going to use words like that.
Did she expect me to just praise her for sleeping with my husband and giving him attention?
“Okay, I think I know what’s going on. You’re upset with me because he spends time with me,” she uttered.
And then Nina hit me with the most ridiculous response ever.
I’m not sure what made her say it, I had never once suggested I was bothered.
So I dropped the knife again and focused on her.
“Nina, you know very well I’m not bothered. And if I were, trust me, you’d be out of his life by now.‘
The confidence in my tone made her clench her jaw and then look down, forcing herself to straighten her posture before speaking again.
I could see she was about to continue complaining, so I held up my palm.
“Please stop. You don’t need to keep talking about my husband. Just because you sleep with him doesn’t mean you have the right to question me.”
The shock on her face was obvious.
“What is going on?” Sawyer’s arrival seemed to catch her off guard, she flinched slightly, then forced a smile.
“We were just preparing breakfast for you and the kids,” she said in a cheery tone.
“Actually, we were having an argument,” I commented, watching her eyes widen as she glanced at me. “She was upset that I let you sleep in the living room like a bad wife.”
“No, of course not. I would never,” she said, fumbling for excuses.
I had already said what needed to be said.
“You don’t need to worry about what’s going on in our relationship, Nina. Perhaps you’re forgetting your place,” he warned her in a harsh tone.
“Right- I guess I was just worried about you. But I’m really sorry. I’ll go take care of the kids. They must be waking up,” she spoke softly, keeping her eyes on the ground as she sped out of the kitchen.
“Well, she’s not wrong,” Sawyer commented once she was gone.
I lifted my head and watched Sawyer place his hands on the counter opposite me, leaning forward to look into my

eyes.
“I do deserve your care,” he said, his voice husky.
“Anyway, you should get ready. The cruise will leave soon. There’s a storm coming, so it will be much harder later on,” I informed, changing the topic.
“Sure,” he murmured, his tone dull this time, perhaps annoyed that I didn’t respond to his flirtation.
Once he left the kitchen, I prepared breakfast and served it.
The kids had woken up, but so far, they were very quiet.
They hadn’t interacted much with Elara, from what I could see.
I wanted to deal with it properly, so I had left them for the moment.
We all drove together to the shore, and the kids did what they always do, they clung to Sawyer, not even letting
him breathe.
But he carried them like he wasn’t bothered, even when they tucked their fingers into his hair or tried to peek into his pockets.
He barely ever pushed them away.
Sawyer had this thing about him. He was eerily calm.
If I was busy and the kids started screaming and jumping around, I would get extremely anxious. But not Sawyer.
He would continue his work, even through a storm. I wanted that kind of patience.
“Okay, my wife. Take care of yourself. I’ll be back soon.”
Once his bags were loaded, he walked over to me and wrapped his arm around me.
Elgin was the only one there, standing at the shore, watching us interact intently.
And, of course, since someone was watching, Sawyer decided to be even more playful.
He leaned in and planted a kiss on my cheek.
And then he moved from my cheek to my lips.
There was a pause where he deepened his eye contact with me before crashing his lips against mine.
My body froze for a second before I began to react.
He sucked in my upper lip and held my back, pulling me in so tightly that there was no room left between our bodies.
I let out a small moan in his mouth, and I could tell it excited him.
But he had to pull away when our kids came running back and hugged our feet.
I laughed awkwardly, responding to my children’s gleeful laughter while Sawyer gave them a warm smile.
“Take care,” I said to Sawyer, who finally departed. We watched the cruise leave.
My children seemed upset for a moment before they started playing with the balloons he had bought them on the
