“Well, ding dong the bitch is gone!Hallelujah, at least there is one less horrible person on this earth.”I couldn’t agree more.“Damnit!I really wanted to kick her ass for what she did to me and Halo,” she says as an afterthought.
The thought of what Blaire did to Saylor and our child makes me want to dig her up, pour gasoline all over her bones and set the bitch on fire.
“Like I said, get in the long line.Anyways, when she was arrested, she had files on me and every one of the models.She had some recordings of our time together, along with her time with Linc.I’m still not sure how, but my thoughts are that Kevin Jenkins and Blaire worked together somehow, and he was able to obtain those files.”
She sits there, taking everything in as I continue.
“Somehow, after Kevin blew the building and himself up, he must’ve had the files sent to the families of my old cases that I helped keep out of prison, as an insurance policy if something were to happen to him.He’d given mine and Linc’s home address, along with our entry codes to get into the buildings.”
“Oh god, Levi.”
“Yeah, well, eight months ago Mitch made me leave the apartment for some fresh air because I’d been holed up looking for you.We went around the corner for some sandwiches and on our way back, a guy was waiting for us outside of our building.When we got closer, he pulled a gun and shot me twice in the stomach.”
She gasps and covers her mouth with both her hands, then reaches out for me, taking my hand, holding it in a tight grip like I might slip away.Tears fill her eyes and I want to cry along with her, but muster everything in me to stay strong through this and for her.
“Who did this to you?”
“One of the victim’s fathers,” I shrug, not wanting to talk anymore about the past.
“Was it bad?Any permanent damage?”She’s wildly checking me out with her eyes like I might bleed out at any minute.“What is it with you and crazy people?”
“I don’t remember much, but according to Mitch and Mom, I almost died on the sidewalk.”I shrug like it’s no big deal but in reality, I was minutes away from bleeding out on the concrete.
“No.You can’t.”I can see tears swimming in her pretty blue eyes and it makes my heart hurt.She might hate me now but she still cares about my wellbeing.
“Baby, I’m fine now and nothing is going to take me away from you or Halo.Ever.”
She surprises me and flings herself over to me and lays me out on the bed, hugging me tightly to her.Her naked body now nuzzles up to mine.
“You could’ve died Levi!”She wails and the tears fall down her cheeks.I try to wipe them as they fall, but they come flooding down, dripping on my chest.I think she’s had too much thrown at her in a short amount of time, plus the alcohol isn’t helping matters.
“I’m here and I’m fine.”
She rubs her nose and then shakes her head while trying to sit up.
“Wait, the last articles I looked up said that you were on the east coast, or something, for the last eight months or so.”
“Linc had the firm send out that release so the paparazzi wouldn’t try to hassle me and find out that I’d been shot and lying in a hospital bed, almost dying.The PR group thought it was the best way to continue business as usual, even though I haven’t been back to work since the car bomb.I left the firm and haven’t looked back.”
She leans in and lightly touches the two bullet hole scars again, and then her mouth captures mine with a searing kiss.She opens her mouth and I take full advantage as my tongue dances along with hers.It’s been years since we’ve shared a kiss, and it’s just as explosive as it was our first time outside the bar we met at.
Saylor briefly pulls back and looks in my eyes, as if looking into my soul.
“You could’ve died, Levi,” she says again and reclaims my mouth.We stay like that for a while until we’re breathless and are forced to swallow air into our lungs.
“Give me your dick, Levi,” she commands, shocking me.She grabs my hard cock in her hands and pumps it a few times.“Make love to me.Show me how much you’ve missed this.”
“Saylor,” My voice comes out as a warning, but I’d do anything she asked of me right now with her hands on me.
“Don’tSaylorme.Give me your dick now and make up for the lost time.We’ve both been through so much and I think we both need this.”
I really hate this.She’s my wife and I should be able to enjoy every inch of her delectable body, but then there’s a fine line that I don’t want to cross and not return from.
She must see me battling with myself and continues.
“You said I’m still your wife, and aren’t the duties of a husband to please his wife?Or would you rather I got it somewhere else?”She taunts, and knows exactly what she’s doing.
Not thinking clearly, and pushing the thought of her and that fucker out of my mind, I make the decision.
