My Husband's Affair My Anniversary Gift (Lily and David) novel Chapter 65

“Just get out of here, I don’t want to see your face,” Lily said sharply, turning her back to him and walking straight to her room.

“Whose face do you want to see then? Carson’s? Jacob’s? Or maybe Evan’s?” David’s voice boomed behind her, filled with anger and jealousy.

Lily’s hands curled into tight fists at her sides, her teeth grinding together. She wanted to shout back, but she didn’t. She didn’t want to waste her energy fighting with him anymore. She kept walking, her head held high, and went straight to the bathroom.

She needed a shower—cold water. Maybe that would calm her down, help her clear her head. She had too many things to think about, too many things to handle tomorrow. She couldn’t let David’s shouting ruin her focus.

Her mind felt blank as she stepped into the bathroom. She stripped off her clothes one piece at a time, her movements slow, heavy with exhaustion. She turned the shower on and stepped under it, letting the water run over her head, down her back, soaking her completely. She closed her eyes, breathing deeply, trying to wash away the tension sitting heavy in her chest.

Then she heard it.

A soft click of the door opening.

Lily’s eyes flew open. She turned quickly, water dripping down her face, and froze in shock.

David stood there, leaning casually against the door frame, already pulling at his shirt.

“What the hell are you doing?!” she shouted, backing up a step and trying to cover herself, though she had no idea what part of her body to hide first.

“Get out!” she yelled, anger flaring.

But he only smiled, that proud, teasing smile that made her blood boil.

“Let’s take a shower together,” he said casually. “I’ve been in the hospital all day. I feel disgusting.”

Lily’s jaw dropped. She hadn’t thought he’d actually come in. She thought he’d stay outside the door or maybe leave. But he was already in here, and in just a moment, his clothes were on the floor, and he stood completely bare in front of her.

Her breath caught in her throat.

They had been married for years. They’d seen each other countless times like this, skin to skin, without shame. But now, after everything that had happened, seeing his body again, strong and well-built, made her heart beat erratically against her ribs. Her face grew hot despite the cold water pouring over her.

“Fine, I’ll leave,” she muttered in a weak voice, tearing her gaze away. She turned, walking past him, but before she could take another step, strong arms wrapped around her waist.

Her feet left the ground.

“David!” she cried, struggling as he lifted her effortlessly. Her body pressed against his warm, solid chest, water dripping from her skin onto his. “Don’t try to play with me! Put me down! I’m not doing this with you!”
