“I didn’t leave you Gabe, not really. I was just scared…”
“Scared of what? What is it that you’re afraid of?”
“That you stopped loving me.” Her voice had gone soft and her shoulders hunched. I lifted her chin so that I could look into her eyes.
“Why would you think that Nadia?”
“Because she said that you two were in love, that you wanted to be together. I know you’re disappointed about the baby…”
“Who is this she?”
“I’m not sure but I’ve been thinking it might’ve be Sabrina. She was so convincing on the phone and it hurt to hear her say the things she said. I just wanted to get away from it all for a while. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, I was just so mad at you for wanting her and not me.”
“Stop. So this person calls you and you just accepted her word that I was cheating on you. And even after I told you that there was no truth to it you still took her word over mine. Do you not see what’s wrong with that? How insulting that is to me? We’re married you’re my wife. I swore to protect you but you never gave me that chance, you just ran. That’s not how marriage is supposed to work. If there’s no trust then we really have nothing do we? You can’t have love without trust and I refuse to live my life like that.”
“What are you saying?” Her hand fisted in the front of my shirt. I looked down at her, studying her beautiful face and the worry I saw there tore at me.
“I’m saying that you were wrong, that instead of standing and fighting you gave up. You didn’t even fight Nadia, even if you thought there was some truth to what this person was saying you didn’t give us a chance, give me a chance. You just cut and run; that doesn’t say much for our marriage now does it?” She started tearing up and there was a slight tremble in her body.
“Please don’t leave me Gabe. I’ll do better. I promise just please…I was confused that’s all.”
I let it rest for a minute as I thought of her words. She was afraid. I guess I don’t understand how women think in these situations. All I know is that if some asshole had told me the same thing about her, I’d have fought for my wife, for my life with her. She’d run. That’s the thing that ate away at me. She’d just taken off without a word and she’d done it so easily.
“What’s to stop you from doing it again?”
She sat up straight taking my face between her hands.
“I won’t ever. I promise I’ve learned my lesson, just please Gabe... I love you more than anything in the world. I know that now I won’t forget again I promise.”
“I want you to come to me if something like this should ever happen again. No more running away. Do you have any idea what that did to me? You punished me for something I was not guilty of, you made a fool of me for the world to see.”
“I’m so sorry…”
“Yes I know so you’ve said, but that’s just not enough. You didn’t think babe, didn’t use your head and what’s worse you let someone else come between us. All it takes is a well-placed lie for you to believe someone else’s word over mine. It’s going to take me a long time to get over that.”
We kept quiet for a while after that, both of us lost in our own thoughts. I needed her to see, to understand that we could never be in that place again.
“If you ever do something like this again I’ll leave you without a second thought. I love you you’re the only woman I’ve ever said that to but I’ll be damned if I’ll go through that shit again.”
“Does that mean that you’ll give me another chance?” Now there was new hope in her eyes.
“I guess so.”
“Does that mean that…?” Her face heated up and she lowered her head.
“What?” I lifted her chin so I could see her eyes again.
“That um, you know, that we’ll go back to the way things were.”
“I’m not quite sure what you mean.”
“In bed.” She really reddened this time and buried her face in my chest.
“No.”
“Good.”
Her voice was soft and shy; huh, I knew she’d like it.
Chapter 11
That weekend was a new beginning for us. We reaffirmed our commitment to each other and our bond was stronger than ever. I didn’t bring up her infraction again. It was over and done with.
“Do you like that?”
“Heavens yes.”
“I had her legs thrown over my shoulders and my face between her thighs, my tongue buried deep in her pussy. The middle finger of one hand teased her rosebud and the other stroked my cock. Her taste in my mouth made me growl it was so fucking good.
