I gestured to the stool by the counter. "Sit."

She didn't move.

I shook my head, chuckling. "You like being told what to do, but you never actually listen."

I lifted her easily. She was leaner than the last time I touched her.

She stiffened for a moment, then let me place her on the island. Her legs dangled off the edge. "You must love it when I do it for you?"

My hands slid down the curve of her legs, resting at her bare feet. They were cold.

"You shouldn't be walking around barefoot," I said, rubbing warmth back into her toes, absentmindedly. Her body jolted when my thumb brushed a certain spot.

She gasped and clenched the edge of the island.

My eyes flicked up to hers, a smirk tugging at the corner of my mouth like I had just discovered a gold mine. "Sensitive here?"

I drew a circle along the arch of her foot. Her toes curled. Her breath hitched, lips parting. She bit down on the reaction.

I leaned closer. "Guess there are still things about your body I haven't learned yet."

    LeahIf there was an award for terrible choices, I'd already have a shelf full of them."Another cat?" I laughed softly, shaking my head.Edward had come by to give Roman a late birthday gift. After how our last minute ended, plus him obviously ignoring me at the office, and here, I hadn't expected him to show up at all.His hand went to the back of his neck, his ears reddening. "Oh. I..." he hesitated, then smiled shyly. "I should have gotten him something else.""It's fine," I said, watching Roman whose eyes were shining brightly as he lifted the cat up.I told him he had to keep it at his place just like mom and Roman would have to pay them a visit anytime he wants to play with it. While seeing me out, he leaned in to kiss me, and I didn't stop him. I should have ended it at the first kiss, but a reckless part of me wanted to hurt Aiden with what I knew would tear him apart. In my selfishness, I forgot that the man I was trying to provoke killed as easily as breathing.Edward's mo

    AidenLeah left the bathroom without a word, and I stood there for a moment, breathing hard, before my fist slammed into the wall.The look in her eyes before she left had broken something in my chest. We were doing so well just hours ago, and I just had to ruin it. I always did and without remorse.Time passed slowly, the bathroom smelling faintly of soap and her shampoo, making the wait a torture. I finally walked out of the bathroom, peering through the slightly open door to listen to Roman's faint laughter and her speaking to someone else from the living room. I hated that she was hiding me, but I knew better than to walk out there now. So I backed into her bedroom instead, eyes taking in the way her things were arranged neatly, the photo of her and Roman on her dresser.I picked it up, my thumb tracing the edges and their smiling faces. They fit so well together that there was no room for me.I moved to her walk-in closet, fingers brushing over her clothes, opening drawers until

    AidenLeah was lying on the couch, her legs hanging off the edge. Her short hair spilt over her face in wild waves, hiding her face and baring too much of her neck. That pale stretch of skin called to me, begging for teeth, for bruises I'd leave in the shape of my hunger. She had knocked herself out before Roman, who I'd just tucked in."Leah," I rasped, leaning down, my voice a low growl that vibrated through me.She didn't stir, didn't answer, just lay there vulnerable, her chest rising and falling in shallow breaths that made her shirt cling to the swell of her breasts.I clenched my jaw.She had to be doing that on purpose, walking around without a fucking bra, flashing those nipples in my face and calling me a pervert every time stared.My fingers weaved through the soft strands of her hair, savouring the silkness before tucking them behind her ear. My thumb traced her jawline, tilting her chin up until her parted lips were so close I could feel her breath against mine, teasing.

    LeahFor a moment, I thought he'd go through with it, but he didn't. He just exhaled slowly and rested his forehead against mine, eyes closing like it cost him something to stop."Fuck," he muttered, his voice rough, almost pained. "I want you... so badly, doll."I tried my best not to squirm when my eyes caught the obvious bulge in his pants."Should... you be acting this way when you're married?" I snapped, trying to summon anger to mask the ache building between my thighs.He chuckled softly. "How did I get married without my knowledge?" My brows pulled together."Unless," he went on lazily. "I was married to you before my memory loss."The teasing only fueled my irritation. I tried to push away from him, but his hand held me in place. "I'm not married," he said, the humour draining from his voice. "And that kid isn't mine. At least not biologically." His thumb stroked slow circles over the mole.I waited for a sign that he was lying, but it never came."That's none of my fucking

    LeahA fucking gun."A toy gun," Aiden corrected without looking at me."He's five."Roman had already lifted a blue plastic one from the set, his fingers curling around the trigger."It shoots freaking foam," Aiden replied evenly."Roman, put that down."He looked up at me, uncertainty creeping into the excitement on his face. "Mommy."Even his puppy eyes wasn't going to change my mind."Baby," I said softly but firmly, "put it back in the box."His shoulders slumped as he reluctantly placed it back.I turned to Aiden. "And you," I said coldly. "Follow me."Aiden didn't say a word as he rose and followed me into the kitchen. I could feel the weight of his stare burning into my ass the entire way. It sent unwelcome shivers racing up my spine. I stopped abruptly at the island and spun around to confront him, and he almost walked straight into me.His eyes snapped up to mine, a deep frown carving itself into his stupidly handsome face. That same judging look he'd worn earlier outside my

    LeahI pressed the doorbell, and it opened on the third ring.Edward stood behind it shirtless and barefoot, curls messy like he'd run a hand through them many times. He blinked when he saw me. "Leah?"My stomach twisted in guilt.I had come to apologise for last night and had spent hours rehearsing, but every word disappeared the moment I saw him."Hi.""Hi," he repeated. "I wasn't expecting you.""Yeah... I tried calling before coming, but you weren't picking up."His face scrunched as he rubbed his temple. "My head is killing me.""Were you drinking?""A can knocked me out," he chuckled.I laughed. "It's nice to meet someone I'm better than. Two cans is my max."He laughed with me, low and tired for a moment before it died an awkward death, and we both found anything to stare at except each other.Say something, goddammit."Come on in," he said, nodding to the side as he stepped back.Although I knew being inside with him would be more awkward, I still crossed the threshold.His l
