His hand found my waist and he pulled me to him. He moved up to cup my cheek with a gentleness that made my breath catch. Our eyes met in the dim light of the candles. There was nothing but love and adoration in his.
He traced the curve of my cheekbone with his thumb, moving slowly, as if he was trying to memorize every line on my face. His touch was so soft, so intimate. More so than the earth shattering sex we’d had only a few minutes ago.
“What did I ever do to deserve you?” he whispered, eyes searching
mine.

The question caught me off–guard and before I could stop myself a snort escaped my throat. “Probably nothing. You probably don’t deserve me at all.”

Then he kissed me. It was nothing like the wild, desperate kiss we’d shared on the balcony. This one was gentle. His lips moved against mine carefully as if he feared I might break under his touch, or that this might be the last time.

Lucky howled in excitement. She began to push against me, wanting to be close to him.
And almost as if Aaron sensed this, he pushed my robe aside and slipped inside me. His movements were agonizingly slow, driving me so crazy that it hurt. My hips moved with him, matching him thrust for thrust.

“I’m yours,” Aaron breathed against my neck. “Say it.”
“I’m yours.”
“Again.”
I groaned. It was hard to focus when he was doing bad things to my body. “I’m yours.” The words came out strangled. I was so close. So close.
“Again.”
“I’m y…”
I never finished the sentence. My hips bucked just as he emptied himself inside me. Aaron grunted and then collapsed on the bed. I could feel his hot breath against my shoulder.
I could barely keep my eyes open. My body sagged into the sheets, exhaustion taking over me. I felt myself drifting slowly away. Through the haze of sleep, I felt Aaron’s lips on forehead. That was the last thing I remembered before sweet sleep claimed me.
*Aaron*
It was barely dawn when I peeled my eyes open. I twisted my head to look at Jane who was sleeping peacefully by my side. She looked like an angel, so pure and untainted. A stark contrast to how I felt.
Monster, the word echoed in my head.
I’d let my anger get the best of me. And what was the result? Yve was now hospitalized. I suppressed a groan. Yve would use this as ammunition. She was about to make my life very miserable.

And I didn’t think there was anything I could really do to stop it. But I had to at least try. If not for myself, but for Jane.
Gently, I slipped out of bed and started putting my clothes on. I grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled a pathetic note: “Gone to the hospital. Will call you later. – A.” I deposited it at the foot of the bed.
I wasn’t exactly sure why, but I had this sinking feeling that this would be the last time I’d see Jane this way. So calm, so trusting. I looked at her once more, committing the image to memory. Then I turned around and left.
My wolf was urging me to go back to Jane even as I climbed into my car. No, I said to him. This is something I have to do.
I kept replaying the scene as I drove to the hospital. Was it an accident? Yes. Could I have stopped it? Maybe. Maybe I could have caught her, steadied her, prevented this whole thing entirely. But did I push her? No.
Then why did my hands feel stained with guilt? Maybe it was because I knew that the facts meant nothing to Yve or to anyone else who heard her version of events. I shook the thought away and rolled my car to a
stop.
My feet carried me to the front desk, drowning out every other sound around me. “I’m here to see Yve Williams,” I told the receptionist. When she asked about my relationship with her, I paused for a moment. I couldn’t possibly say I was her ex–husband, or that I was the reason she was here. So I cleared my throat and muttered, “I’m a friend.”
She smiled at me and handed me a visitor’s pass. “She’s in room 317. Head down the hall and turn to the right.”
