His sigh is long as he hugs me from behind. I missed being in his arms so much that some of the sadness rises to the surface.

“I’m sorry for my absence. I’ll make it up to you. Please, don’t be mad.”

I shrug, because I don’t know what to express. “I’m not mad. It’s just so much. I don’t know what you want me to say.”

“Arms up,” he orders. I comply, giving him access to my underarms and breasts. “Just say what’s on your mind, baby.”

“Am I?”

“Are you what?”

I turn to face him, but he doesn’t miss a beat in his task. “Your baby.”

His blue eyes roam over my face and body like he’s searching for something. “Tell me what that means to you. What’s your definition?”

“Do you want me, or do you think you have to play nice because I’m having your baby? Cheating is a thrill-”

“The only thing cheating makes me feel is guilt. I’m not a dishonest man. I prided myself on being truthful and honest. Anything less than that eats at me.”

“Is that why you disappeared after your divorce? Am I just a reminder of that deceit?”

Towel forgotten, he cups my face, making me look him in the eyes. Theodore leans in until our foreheads almost touch.

“Hell no, River. You remind me of hope and happiness. I just needed time to process. That’s all.”

“You left me in the dark. I didn’t know if you were sad because you wanted her back. Or if you were out there trying to figure out what to do with me because you lost interest. You don’t have to be with me to see your child. I wouldn’t keep you two apart…”

His mouth covers mine, taking away any words I had yet to speak. I fall into the kiss, moaning against his mouth. I’ve missed the taste and feel of him.

Blue eyes darkening with lust, he guides my hand down between us. I suck my bottom lip into my mouth as I allow him to rub my hand up and down his hard length.

“Does it feel like I’ve lost interest? I’ve missed you so fucking much that I’d lose sleep thinking about you.”

“Why not call me, at least?”

Theodore kisses me again, holding me close to his body as he lifts me. On instinct, I wrap my legs around his waist. The tips of his fingers dig into my hips as his lips tease my neck. Cool tile hits my back when he presses me against the wall.

“You were not the cause of my bad mood.” He nips on my neck as the tip of his dick slowly spreads my pussy lips. “So you shouldn’t be the recipient of it.”

He glides to the hilt in one smooth stroke and steals my breath. I inhale sharply, loving the feel of him deep inside of me. For a moment, I wonder if I’m one of those women who gets easily distracted by good dick until he speaks.

“Fuck, you feel so good. I’m all yours, River. I wouldn’t have touched you without planning to make it possible.” Theodore grinds into me more, making me remember how I got pregnant in the first place. “I just have to make sure I’m worthy enough for you to be mine.”

There is such a potent dose of vulnerability in his voice and eyes that tears fall down my cheeks as he fucks me. Our talk isn’t over, but my need to come is the most important thing for now. I roll my hips, doing my part to get us off.

His grunt tells me I’m doing it right. “Just talk to me, Teddy.”

He knows what I mean, so he doesn’t push the topic. Instead, he throws me a sexy smirk since I let my nickname for him slip. It’s not the nickname itself; it’s a common one, it’s the fact that I gave him one.

The steam from the shower fogs the bathroom as he overheats my body. It doesn’t take long until I’m screaming his name as I mark him with my nails. He sucks my nipples with greedy slurps as he warms my insides with his cum.

Teddy slides me to my shaky legs and drops a kiss on my forehead. “I’ll go get in the other shower. We'll never get out at this rate.”

He’s right. I want more, and I’m determined to get it.
