Please Come Back, My Love

Chapter 24

I bit my lip, trying to stay quiet, but a whimper escaped as he pushed two fingers inside me.

“That’s it,” he growled, his thumb pressing against my clit while his fingers curled inside me. “Let me hear you.”

“Someone could come in- I gasped.

“Then you’d better keep it down. His fingers thrust faster, striking that sensitive place deep inside me that sent sparks exploding across my vision.

His words, his touch–it was too much. I came apart with a strangled cry, my walls clenching around his fingers as pleasure crashed through me in waves.

“Good girl,” he murmured, working me through it.

When I finally came back to myself, he was pulling his hand away, bringing his fingers to his mouth. He sucked them clean, his eyes never leaving mine.

“Besides,” he said, his voice returning to something almost normal. “It’s almost Grandfather’s birthday at the end of next month. His health isn’t good. Can

we at least wait until after that to talk about divorce?”

The emotional whiplash was dizzying.

“Julian-

“Please.” The word sounded foreign coming from his mouth. “Just… let’s get through his birthday. Then we can talk about everything.”

I couldn’t answer. Just turned my face away again.

He stood up, and the sharp scent of citrus filled the air.

“You should eat something,” he said.

I opened my eyes to find him peeling an orange, his movements methodical. Like he hadn’t just made me come with his fingers.

He separated a segment and held it out. “Open.”

I stared at the orange slice. At this man who could be so tender one moment and so cruel the next.

Slowly, I opened my mouth.

He placed the segment on my tongue, his fingers lingering at my lips. “Good.”

I chewed mechanically, tasting nothing.

He was reaching for another piece when his phone buzzed.

I saw the name flash across the screen. Victoria.

Something inside me died a little more.

“You should answer it,” I said quietly. “She needs you.”

Elen

“Answer the phone, Julian

He stared at me for a long moment. Then he stood and walked toward the door. ‘T’ll be right back.”

The door closed behind him.

I lay there, staring at the ceiling, my body still humming from his touch. Hating myself for responding. Hating him for making me respond.

I could hear his voice through the door. Muffled, but I caught fragments.

“I can’t right now… Something came up…”

Victoria’s voice rose, high and panicked, even through the door.

Then silence.

When he walked back in, I hadn’t moved.

“I need to leave,” he said.

“Of course you do,” I said flatly.

“Elena-

“Just go, Julian.” My voice was so tired. “I’m used to it by now.”

“Be reasonable-”

“Reasonable?” I let out a hollow laugh. “I’m lying in a hospital bed after being drugged and assaulted, and you’re leaving to go to her. But sure. I’m the one being unreasonable.”

I saw guilt flicker across his face. But not enough to make him stay.

‘I’ll be back later,” he said.

“No, you won’t.”

‘Elena-

“Just go.” I turned my face to the wall. ‘Please. Just… go.”

I heard him hesitate.

Then his footsteps moved toward the door.

The door opened. Closed. And he was gone.

Tlay there in the silence, one hand pressed over my stomach where his child was growing. A child he would never want. A child I could never tell bim about.
