Thanks Everyone for your feedback. I love reading it. Over the next few days I will post one of two extra chapters if I can. I have been away for work but didn't miss a day :)
Ryan sat in the hospital bed, his eyes fixed on the door through which Tally had just exited the room. She hadn’t even bothered to turn around when he had called her name, instead muttering “Asshole” under her breath as she left. If she was attempting to impress him or prove Ashley’s claims false, she was failing miserably and doing a piss-poor job. A wry smile tugged at one corner of his mouth. He didn’t know if she was playing a smart game or not.Just as he anticipated his wife’s return, the door swung open. But it wasn’t Tally standing there. Instead, a hospital employee entered, carrying his less-than-appetizing lunch. Despite being in a private room, the quality of the hospital food sucked. The lady placed it on his table. “Thank you.” He said as she turned to leave the room.If he was being honest with himself, he was a little disappointed that Tally had left. Ryan wondered if that was a point in her favor.Ryan absentmindedly touched the bandage on his head. The thing was, he d
As Tally arrived at the house, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of detachment. It no longer felt like her home, but rather Ryan’s. She entered the quiet house and immediately went to take a long, soothing shower to wash away the stress of the day.After her shower, Tally laid down on the couch, feeling physically and emotionally drained. She closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind, but her phone buzzed with a message from Holly and Ethan, confirming they would see her in a few minutes.As Tally got up to let them in, her phone rang again. It was Ryan calling, but she ignored it. She wasn’t ready to confront him yet, still harboring resentment towards him for their current situation. She knew it wasn’t his fault but explain that to her feelings.Holly and Ethan arrived shortly after, bringing some much-needed energy and positivity into the house. They both hugged Tally before she walked them through to the kitchen. The food that they had brought smelled good.“How are you feeling,
It was only the next day they were to venture into the office. Ryan had offered to drive her. Tally had shaken her head. “We don’t do that.”He lifted an eyebrow at her. “Why?”“Because no one at the office knows about us being married.” Tally let him know, looking down at his hands.“Tally, look at me.” When she lifted his head. “Why?” he was suspicious of the fact that he had chosen not to tell anyone.Tally could see the look in his eyes. “It wasn’t your idea, but mine.”Ryan was surprised by this. “Then again, why?”Tally felt uncomfortable telling him the next bit. The old Ryan had known her history. This Ryan, with his missing memories, didn’t and he could see it in a different light now. “I was engaged just before we got married.”“Let me guess, I was the better catch, so when you saw your chance, you jumped at it.” Ryan's tone was cold again.“Not so you would guess, you arrogant ass. Get over yourself. The person you are now, I wouldn’t have picked you in a pink fit. See you a
Ryan didn’t come straight to their office. Tally wasn’t sure where he had got to.But before she could dwell on it too long, Ashley breezed into her office. “Where is Ryan?”“I have no idea.” Tally wasn’t Ryan’s keeper.Ashley gave a laugh. “Lost him already. But then you never really had him to start with.”“Listen Ashley, why don’t you just crawl back under the rock you crawled out from under?” Tally was shocked by her own tart remark and she could see that Ashley was as well. What did the bitch think? She would just sit here and take her shit. “Go now.”“Why, you little bitc...” Ashley startedBut Tally cut her off. “I’m pretty sure Ryan told you to cut out your attitude at the workplace. Even without his full memories, I don’t think his reaction would be any different and he doesn’t just need my word about it. I know a few staff would be happy to come forward.” Tally leaned over her desk, staring at Ashley. “You know what, this isn’t high school anymore and I don’t have time for yo
Tally woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. She didn’t feel bad about closing the door on Ryan the previous night. She had made some firm decisions before going to sleep. She was determined to eliminate Ashley from their lives and reignite Ryan’s love for her.Tally acknowledged that if seducing him was necessary, she would gather the courage to do so. Ryan had been the catalyst for her newfound sexual confidence, and she trusted he wouldn’t be disappointed or upset when his memories of her returned.Tally set in her mind a plan to expose Ashley for the lying bitch she was. She would need Holly and Ethan’s help. No matter the cost, Ashley was going down. Ryan had suffered enough because of her lies. Tally didn’t want to tell Ryan she was pregnant until he knew the truth. Thinking of the baby, Tally realized she hadn’t been plagued by morning sickness yet. A small win in her favor.Tally showered and changed. She might need Holly’s help on buying sexy office clothes. If she intend
Tally spent the day teasing Ryan. She sat at her desk, smiling to herself. Every opportunity she had had to touch or rub against him, she had taken. Tally had heard every intake of breath. She was getting to him. She knew she was.Tally relished in the power she held over Ryan. She reveled in the thrill of pushing his boundaries and testing his self-control. Each time he glanced her way with suspicion, she effortlessly transformed her expression into one of innocence, hiding her true intentions.As Tally sat at her desk, a mischievous smile danced on her lips. She knew she had successfully infiltrated Ryan’s thoughts, leaving him confused and intrigued. It was a game, a game she was determined to win.In the past, Ryan had always been the one pursuing and conquering in their relationship. Tally had admired his confidence and assertiveness, but now she saw an opportunity to challenge his expectations. She couldn’t help but wonder what thoughts were racing through his mind as she unleash
Tally got home that evening before Ryan. She kicked off her shoes, undressed, and hopped into the shower. Before changing into a silk robe with just panties underneath. Tally knew she was playing a dangerous game. She just didn’t care. She would use all avenues to win her husband back. Tally headed to the kitchen when her phone buzzed, letting her know she had a message. Picking it up, she saw the message was from Noah. “Hi Honey, how are things going? I talked to Ryan today. His recollection of the last two years is still absent. How are you holding up?” “Tell me something I don’t know.” Tally thought before typing a message back. “I’m ok. But maybe calling me honey in a message isn’t a good start. What if Ryan saw it?” “He knows me too well. He would know I never, ever cross that line.” Noah informed her. “Still, he doesn’t know me yet, but he will.” Tally grinned. He was going to get to know her very well, Tally thought as she pulled the meat for dinner out of the fridge. Tally
Tally swallowed hard, her mouth dry. She wanted to say yes, to admit that she loved the feeling of being controlled, of having no choice but to submit to him. But the words stuck in her throat. Her focus was all on him, the intense look on his face.Ryan’s expression darkened, his patience wearing thin. “Answer me,” he demanded, his voice a low rumble.Tally nodded, her eyes wide with desire. “Yes,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.Ryan’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “Good,” he said, his tone softening slightly. “Because I intend to keep you right where you are. Put your hands above your head.” He watched her as she did as she was told. “Now don’t move them, no matter what. Do I make myself clear?”“Yes.”With that, he returned his attention to her body, his hands moving with purpose. He gripped the waistband of her panties, his fingers sliding underneath the fabric. Tally’s breath hitched, her body tensing with anticipation. She remembered her times with Ryan, but in hi
