I dropped my hands to her thighs. “If you know then why’d you leave? Why are you crying?”

“I left because I wanted to rip her dirty brown hair out of her head and while I would make prison my bitch, orange is not my color.” Haley joked but her pretty blue eyes were hard. Jealous. She shrugged, staring at her hand on my chest. “I’m crying because I do that sometimes when I get overwhelmed or pissed off. My emotions are broken that way.”

“So, you don’t want to divorce me?” I said, weight lifting with each word.

Her head snapped back up, gaze narrowed. “Not unless you really do want to be with that girl.”

“No. I really fucking don’t. But I do want to explain.”

Haley bit her lip, “I know why you didn’t tell me.”

“You do?”

“Uh huh.”

I slipped my hands around to the curve of her ass, my fingers slipping under the soft fabric of her shirt. “Why don’t you tell me then.”

“Because when I came home, you saw this sexy body and forgot about everything else.”

I chuckled because she wasn’t lying. “That is exactly what happened.”

“Smart man.” Her nose scrunched up adorably as she grinned.

I chuckled, my fingers flexing against her. “I’m not kidding. As soon as you started kiss me everything else seized to exist.”

Cocking her head to the side, her eyes searched mine. “You were going to tell me though, right? Before I climbed you like a tree? That’s what you wanted to tell me.” It wasn’t a question, and I loved that she knew me so well. I loved how she put her trust in our relationship.

I never should’ve doubted that for a second, but I was fucking scared.

Scared of losing her.

“I promised you open communication and I wasn’t going to break that promise.” I nodded and inhaled deeply. “I went to drop of Nix and Stella was there. She seemed upset so I went to talk to her. She said that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I tried to comfort her. I gave her a hug.”

“Platonically, of course.” Her face twisted like she sucked on something sour.

“Yes. Platonically. Like I would do for Rylie.” I rolled my eyes. “She kissed me out of nowhere surprising the shit out of me.”

Haley gripped the back of my neck and pressed her mouth to mine. Hard. Possessive. She bit my bottom lip, sucking on it. “Like that?”

I groaned, rolling my head back on the couch. My hard cock pressing uncomfortably against the seam of my jeans. “No one kisses me like you do. But, yes, with the same amount of surprise.”

Haley’s cheeks turned pink, pleased. “Continue.”

“I told her that I was yours. That I was happy, and that I didn’t want her anywhere near us today.”

She crossed her arms, pushing her tits up higher. “She seemsgreatat following direction.”

“Anyway, I left immediately after that and didn’t look back.” I drug my eyes away from her chest before I couldn’t stop myself from stick my face in her cleavage.

“Okay.”

“Okay? That’s it.”

“What?” She lifted one shoulder. “I believe you. You’re sexy as hell and if you were comforting me, I would’ve wanted to kiss you too.”

“You can kiss me anytime you want.” I nipped at the skin below her ear.

“That is why I drunken-married you.” She rubbed my shoulders and arms, like she couldn’t stop touching me. “I’m sorry I left you there to deal with crazypants by yourself.”
