Thirty-eight

Andrea’s POV

She’s a small lump under the covers, only her hair is visible from where I stand. Even from this distance her presence awakens something in me. The little game she had tried to pull on me, the way her eyes darkened when I treated to punish her.

My little lamb, so innocent. She had no idea what she was doing. Stirring the darkness, the hidden desire in me.

There wasn’t any way that I could introduce her. And then the call. That goddamn woman kept pestering me. Word had gotten around about my sudden nuptials. I didn’t fall for the story, her wanting to congratulate me was nothing but her way to try to get it. I had wasted too much time with mindless sex, that was in my past and I made sure it stayed there.

This was my chance to build a family for myself, for once in my life to do something right and for the look of it Rebecca was the woman for me. I just had to find a way to stop myself, to get my head out of the gutter and learn how to be the right man for her.
