"What’s going on?"

"Nothing."She reaches between us trying to guide me back inside her.

"Talk to me."

"I don’t want to talk."

"Do you not believe me when I tell you I love you?"

"I do but others have said those words to me before and each time it blew up in my face."

"You’re forgetting one very important detail."

"What?"

"None of those men deserved you.They didn’t know how to love you, but I do, baby.I do."

A lone tear trickles down her cheek and I kiss it away.

"I love you, Gwynee.I’ll tell you and show you a million different ways.But if you’re doubting the way I feel about then I guess I’d better start doing a better job."

"It’s not you.It’s my hang up.I know you love me."

"Do you really, though?"

"I do.Can we just get back to the showing part?"She strokes her hand up and down my cock trying to revive my erection.

"Yeah, babe.We can do that, if that’s what you want, but don’t ever fucking doubt the way I feel about you."I caress her face and kiss her soft and slow.I take my time with her, knowing that tonight she needs gentle.My woman needs me to make love to her.I’ve kept my wall up for damn long that I’m not good with emotions.I know how to fuck.Truth be told I think Gwynee’s the first I’ve ever made love to.Every relationship I’ve ever had has been about the physical aspect of getting off.Even when I was married there was no real love between us.

I’ve never known love until now.

My pace is languid but targeted as I thrust inside her, holding her gaze the entire time.I want her to feel what I do.

The way she loves me is unlike any other.Nothing or no one could compare.

Not in the past.

Not in the future.

She’s everything to me.

Fucking everything.

"Do you feel that, Gwynee?"I press her palm to my heart."That’s all yours."

Chapter Nineteen

“Ican’tbelieveyouinvited her,” Cecilia murmurs as she caps her lips over her straw.

I smile at Jessika and give her a small wave as she joins the rest of us by the pool and drops her towel on one of the lounge chairs.“I think she’s nice.”

“You do realize that girls’ night is meant to be with your actual friends.”

“I consider her a friend.”

“She’s dating your ex.”

“I don’t need reminded.”
