And in this one kiss, I now know I’m on the right path.
“How long until you’re off duty?” I whisper, pushing my hand through his hair and relishing in the soft strands falling between my fingers.
Lex grins, running his nose against mine before letting me go. “Give me fifteen minutes, and I’m all yours.”
“You’re all mine or… I’m all yours?” I tease.
Pausing at the door, he lifts his gaze to meet mine. With a cocky grin, Lex tilts his head slightly then bites his bottom lip. “As long as I’m inside you, take it any which way you please.”
And that’s what we do, all night until the sun rises, my husband makes love to me. Devouring every inch of me, in our bed, in our home.
Thankfully, Adriana offered to take Amelia, which came as a surprise as well as convenient for us. Of course, I couldn’t refuse. We needed some bonding time without the biggest cockblocker crying in her crib in the room beside us.
In the morning, I awake with his body curled into me. My phone beeps. I reach over, but Lex grabs my hand and places it on his cock. It’s throbbing, and it only means one thing.
I don’t have time to even finish that thought. He slides inside me, and I moan, my body sore and tender from being ravaged on the car and the all-night sweet loving.
“I can’t get enough of this, Charlotte. Being inside of you… my beautiful wife.”
We come in sync, out of breath. I lean back, unable to move my muscles.
“Go ahead, you can check your phone now.” He chuckles.
“I forgot… whoever it is can wait.”
“I bet he can’t.”
“Lex…”
“If that phone beeps in the next minute, I get to fuck this pretty little ass of yours right now.”
“And if you’re wrong?” Please don’t be wrong!
The phone beeps.
“Show me the text,” he demands.
I grab my phone and slide the screen, two texts in a row, and they’re from Eric.
Eric: OMG Charlie, Matthew McConaughey is working out at Venice Beach! Meet me there in ten minutes.
Eric: Hurry up woman! My wank bank is in need of a refill!
“Looks like you won, Mr. Edwards, what a shame…”
“If you weren’t soaking wet again, I would somehow think you were trying to weasel your way out of this. Now shut the fuck up and bring your beautiful ass here.”
And in the morning sunshine in the light of day, he takes me in our bed, again.
LEX
I sit at my desk, watching the clock, unable to move a muscle.
Charlotte has called me several times, and being the dick I am, I let it go to voicemail. I don’t know how to handle what happened last night. This morning was bad enough as I swear I looked guilty of having my finger near someone else’s pussy.
Today, I offered Montana a job at another company I invested in, which she gladly accepted. Her ego is bruised, and thankfully she’s mature enough not to take this further because she holds the cards that can destroy me.
The phone rings again, and I glance at the caller ID. Nikki.
“What do you want?” I answer, defeated.
“Act however you want to act, Edwards, but I’m warning you that you are on the verge of losing your wife.”
Honestly, women and their overly dramatic emotions. Nikki always has to voice her opinion when it comes to Charlotte’s and my relationship.
“Nikki, I’ll be right there, okay? I’m just leaving.”
“So, tell me, Lex, is Montana worth losing your family over?”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about…” I trail off.
“Right, I have no idea what I’m talking about. That’s why today I found divorce papers drawn up by Charlie on our server.”
I freeze, my body stiffening at the use of the word ‘divorce.’ Nikki is causing unnecessary drama. Charlotte will never leave me.
“That’s right. You don’t believe me?” She almost laughs. “Check your email.”
I hear a ping and quickly open the email, the attachment sitting in front of me titled ‘Edwards vs. Edwards.’ My heart sinks to the lowest pit possible. I have royally fucked everything up and have no idea how to fix anything. With a wave of nausea threatening me, my stomach hardens as reality begins to set in.
“I’ll take your silence to mean you had no idea,” she deadpans.
I’m speechless. I don’t want her to leave me. Why would she leave me? Yes, I’d made life impossible for her, but we agreed to this unity until death us to part. Listen to yourself, you’ve fucked
