“You’re not safe there.”“What? It’s just a party Rufus! Was it because you’re beloved Alice was there? Are you protecting her from me?”Rufus turned his head and his gaze found hers. “She is not my beloved. I have only one beloved wife.""Then why are you like this? You’ve changed your mind because of just one call from her?”“How did you know? Did you intentionally want us to be heard?”The hurt she felt was shown on her face. “You’re unbelievable!” she said in frustration. He easily accused her and she felt awful.Rufus realized what he said. “I’m sorry love, I’m just worried.” He tried to touch her but she flinched. She didn’t say a word and moved to the end of the luxurious leather seat.With every second that passed, she felt him withdrawing, the connection between them slipping further and further away. She found herself shrinking into the corner of the seat, away from him, mimicking the distance. She felt building between them. All the warmth she’d felt receded into a marked c

Viktor stopped and looked at her. She nodded. Viktor backed away with a bow, his gaze hot and fierce on Rufus’ face. Rufus knew that Viktor was his brother's lover and he didn't say about them. did he approve of their relationship? Or he simply didn't care, as long as his brother is happy. Rufus ignored Viktor and he pulled her close and took over the dance the way he took over everything—with dominant confidence.It was an entirely different experience dancing with him than with her two previous partners. Rufus had a different level of expertise of Mark and Viktor. The familiarity with the way her body moved, and Rufus had a bold, aggressive style that was inherently sexual.It didn’t help that being so close to a man she’d so recently been intimate seduced her senses despite her unhappiness. He smelled mouthwatering, with undertones of sex, and the way he led her through the bold sweeping steps made her feel the soreness deep inside her, reminding her that he’d been there not long a

She was so hurt by Rufus it was hard to breathe and his was so confused by his mood swings and herself for being so emotional. Why had he touched her face like that? Why had he gotten mad when she didn’t stay by his side? Was it because he was not only possessive but overly protective?She’d bared her emotions alone in his penthouse and still felt horribly vulnerable—a state she’d spent countless therapy hours learning to avoid. She wanted nothing more than to be home, to be with her boys, freed from the pressure of acting like she was completely pulled together when she was anything but. You set yourself up for this, she reminded herself. Suck it upSomeone from his security, carried food he ordered before he had his way on her. Rufus was very careful, he only let his trusted men go near them and their kids. She focused on the variety of food in front of her.She scoops a sizeable heap of sautéed chorizo and slow-cooked chicken in a chipotle a

“Wake up sleepy head, dinner is ready. Our family will dine with us.” Rufus kissed her neck and smelled her scent.“Can we just postpone it?” she murmured sleepily, without opening her eyes. She wanted to lazy.“The kids are waiting, they miss you.”“Oh,”She fell asleep inside the limo and maybe Rufus carried her inside their room. She inhaled the familiar scent of the room. She missed him and this room.She opened her eyes and smiled when she saw him half naked with only his jeans on. He was sweating, he maybe had some workouts when she was sleeping.  So, the dinner won’t be formal and it made her a sigh of relief. She didn’t like formal dinner, it bored her.Then she remembered what happened at the restaurant. She was still wearing her gown. He left her in the hotel and she had a feeling because of Alice  “I need a shower,” she said and stood.

Everleigh felt his forearm tense beneath her fingers the moment their gazes met. She could see why. The woman, she knew was Alice, was deeply in love with Rufus. It was there on her face and in her pale, blue eyes. Her beauty was stunning, so exquisite as to be surreal. Her hair was gold as sunshine and hung thick and straight almost to her waist. Her dress was the same icy hue as her eyes, her skin golden from the sun, her body long and perfectly curved.“Alice,” he greeted her, the natural rasp in his voice even more pronounced. He released her and caught her hands. “You said you’ll come tomorrow. I would’ve picked you up.” “I have some early business meetings to attend to.
