The Lie And the Lady
“They were the words she had been dreading all day—and the ones that echoed in her head, the deep rumble of his voice like a memory not yet had. She knew that he would come to her. She knew that they would find a way to talk—they had to, obviously.
But she was not expecting it to be here.
In her robe. In her room.
Her bed mere feet away.
She’d assumed she’d put all those thoughts away. Enough time and anger had buried them. And while they had been forced to spend the day in proximity to each oth...er, thoughts of bed and soft sheets and softer skin had never entered her mind.

Her fingers, exploring . . .
His eyes, the next day, when she found out about the Lie.MoreLess
