Heartland
“The screen door slapped closed after Emily entered the kitchen. With the vision of her long bare legs replaying in his mind, he turned on his heel and headed for his truck. He’d always thought she had a great pair of legs when he’d seen her splashed across the magazines or on TV, but seeing them up close and personal was enough to remind him how long it had been since he’d been with a woman.When Raquel and he were married for a month, he’d been called up for a special mission with his Army Rang...er unit. She was three months pregnant. By the time he’d come back from the mission that ended his military career two months later, she refused to sleep with him, claiming she was too uncomfortable from the pregnancy and he was too moody all the time to have sex. After the birth, they barely looked at each other and he suffered from horrible nightmares. He remained sleeping on the futon in the living room of their two-bedroom apartment.Closing his eyes, he waited for the pain to hit over losing Raquel, but nothing filled his heart but anger.MoreLess
