Page 56 of His Wild Seduction

I’d killed men with my bare hands. Toppled governments with only a team of men. Made my first billion dollars by simply backing the right horse.

But one fiery redhead was my goddamn kryptonite.

Marat was right. So was Adrik. I had to stop running and face my fears.

I had to talk to my wife.

The second I left Adrik’s office after the meeting yesterday, I’d sat at my desk and opened my laptop.

Downloading the report, I decrypted the file and opened it. I had every intention of scouring those pages for details about my wife’s life. Her past. Her present.

But what I found out about myself while doing this was shocking. I was a total fucking idiot.

Obsessing over my wife. Thinking the worst. Thinking she’d lied when she said there’d been no one else but me.

Now, I did not read the details.

But I did skim the highlights.

And she was telling the truth.

About all of it. About living abroad and not being in contact with her father. About not having any lovers other than me.

I didn’t read the facts. It felt wrong to steal them.

Yes, I wanted to know if there were men in her past. But I wanted the details from her.

The few acquaintances she had, my team tracked down, and they were interviewed. All of them had the same story. Meredith was an ice queen.

A blue ball maker of the finest order, to quote one asshole.

Of course, my men beat the shit out of the guys who’d said such about my wife.

It was obvious she hadn’t slept with them.

But fuck them for badmouthing her.

Besides, I fucking knew better. The woman was as far from frigid as a goddamn inferno.

She was passionate. Wanton. Acting with complete abandon in my arms.

And I loved her every action and reaction to my touch.

I cherished that about her.

A savage part of my genetic makeup wanted to beat my chest and roar in the hypocritical victory of being the only man on this planet whose cock had ever felt her sweet cunt convulse around him.

Yeah. I was sick.

Borderline fucking nuts.

Completely unreasonable.

I can’t help it.

Not when it comes to my Little Red.

If we had any chance at having a future, it was time for me to tell her how I felt. Time for us to live as man and wife. Time my Little Red knew just how fucking unhinged I was when it came to her.
