Page 6 of Earn Me

He had just...walked out.

On me.

Our marriage.

And the life we'd built.

My heart's been in pieces since then, and it had shattered even more when a couple of months ago I found out - completely by accident - that my father had lied.

Keiran had never cheated on me. Instead, it was Keiran who had caught my father having an affair with his secretary...and Marvin selfishly deciding to destroy my marriage to keep Keiran from ruining his.

What's done is done, Cades.

There's no going back from the past, and I quickly wipe my tears away with the back of my hand. There's still work to do, and—-

SHOOT!

My heart nearly leaps out of my chest when I see my ex-husband inside my kitchen, and looking far too handsome for my mind, heart, and body to bear.

Oh...no.

My fingers dig into my palms as I fight against the urge to fidget.

Distract yourself, Cades!

Distract yourself!

And so the first thing I blurt out is—-

"I've had my hair cut."

—-something so idiotically obvious, I am seriously questioning if even I have a functioning brain at this point,aaargh!

"I did notice that, yes."

His words draw out memories I once thought were long buried.

Oh cripes.

And I suddenly find myself remembering how he used tolovegripping my hair while I pleasured him with my mouth.

Cripes, cripes, cripes!

Why am I remembering things that are making my stomach clench with need? Mortification fills me even as desire makes me shift on my feet. My gaze flies back to him guiltily, and that's when I see his nostrils flare.

Oh no.

Why do I have this bad feeling he knows exactly what I'm trying my bestnotto think of?

And when I see his gaze narrows—-

Crap.

I'm absolutely certain now.

HeknowsI still want him, and it's why my heart breaks when he starts to turn away.

Keiran knows how I feel.
