I pushed his hands off me.

“I cannot do that.” My chest was tight and Aina was whining inside me, scratching at the bond, reaching for Cora.

I pushed her down. “You left me for her. Over and over. You proved to me that your first love was more important. You had a child with her.” My voice cracked at the edges. “I cannot be with you anymore. The thought alone makes me sick.”

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me forward.

His arms closed around me, locking me against his chest. His chin rested on top of my head and his heartbeat thudded against my cheek.

Aina surged forward. She pressed hard into the bond, purring, reaching for Cora with everything she had. The warmth of him seeped through my skin easing a tightness I had been harboring.

Piche care about me?

Was there still something left?

Why was he holding me like this?

“Don’t do this,” he murmured into my hair. “Stay.”

Could I stay?

Many times I had told myself never to get my hopes up to him and then he goes ahead to say or do something that leaves me questioning everything.

Why was he holding me?

He opened his mouth again.

“All you need to do is accept Sophie and her son.” His voice was calm, almost gentle. “And I’ll sign all of my property over to you. Everything I own becomes yours.”

Immediately, the warmth that had spread around me vanished.

I shoved him off me so hard he stumbled back a step.

“This is not about property.” My voice came out raw. 2/5

houses or your accounts or your name on a piece of paper.” I pressed my fist against my chest. “I want to be free. When I leave, you can go be with the woman you actually want to be with.”

“If it’s not about money,” he said, his brow furrowed, “then what is it about? Why can you not just look past it?”

“Because I cannot bear the thought of my husband cheating on me!” The words ripped out of me loud enough to fill the suite.

“I have never touched another woman in this marriage!” He yelled back, his composure cracking for the first time.

“How am I supposed to believe that?” My eyes burned. “The second Sophie calls, you go running. Every time I needed you, you chose her. You abandoned me for her over and over and I am supposed to believe you never

touched her?”

Aina was pressing so hard against the bond that my chest ached.

“I cannot believe you,” I said. “Thinking of the two of you

together makes me want to vomit.”

He walked toward me again. His voice dropped to something soft, almost tender.

“Sophie and her son are important to me. They are a part

of my life.” He stopped in front of me. “But you are my one and only wife, Serena. And you will forever be my wife.”

I parted my lips to remind him of the divorce, but in that instant, his lips captured mine.

I pressed my hands against his chest to push him away but my arms wouldn’t lock. Aina purred loud and desperate inside me, flooding the bond with warmth.

His lips moved against mine and my skin burned where his hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer, and I was melting into him.

My fingers curled into his shirt instead of pushing.

He deepened the kiss and we stumbled backward together until my legs hit the edge of the bed and we fell onto the mattress.
