I walked us toourbedroom.

Her eyes fluttered open as I lay her down on her side of the bed. Her eyes were swollen, which told me she had spent most of the day crying.

My heart clenched at the sight, and something bitter formed in my mouth. Something like regret.

I didn’t feel regret or guilt often—hardly ever.

With what I did, being apathetic to everything and everyone around me was an advantage.

But how the fuck could I become apathetic toward her?

Shit would have been easier had I viewed her as my wife, the mother of my children, and nothing more.

But looking at her now…

She didn’t feel like nothing.

She felt likeeverything.

“You sleep next to me,mi corazón, no matter what.”

She didn’t say anything, but she didn’t move as I quickly rid myself of my clothes.

She watched me intently. The sleepiness in her eyes made it hard for me to figure out what she was thinking or feeling, though I did catch a flare of heat in her eyes when I pushed the shirt I wore off my shoulders and onto the floor.

Fuck, but perhaps I hadn’t fucked us up so thoroughly.

Sex wasn’t the fucking solution to anything, but I wouldn’t mind utilizing it as a tool to remind her she belonged to me, and that was all there was to it.

I pointed at her. “Stay.”

One eyebrow rose at my command, but I had a feeling she wouldn’t go anywhere.

I went to the bathroom and got ready for my night.

It was barely nine o’clock.

I didn’t go to bed this early, but I didn’t want to leave her alone, either.

Fuck, if it was possible, I would have her with me at all times.

The shit I got into was dangerous, and I didn’t want her anywhere near that, but even when I wasn’t with her, she was with me.

She was in my thoughts, in my actions.

She was the fucking air I breathed, and I couldn’t let her go.

I came out of the bathroom, and she was exactly where I had left her.

Her eyes tracked my every movement as I climbed onto my side of the bed, the blue much more prominent under the light.

She had probably spent most of the day sleeping away, so I doubted she was tired now.

I pulled the covers over us and drew her close to me. She tensed in my arms for a bit before she seemingly forced herself to relax. Her head snuggled closer to the pillow. I lay on my side and watched her side profile for a beat. I was unsure why I was feeling like…this—an unexplainable weight—just because she was close to me.

I let my hand roam over her body and finally settled it on her stomach.

I pulled her even closer until her ass was pressed against my hard dick.
