After the Divorce, My Ex Husband Came Crawling Back 204
SELENESusan finds me curled up in the study again when she gets home, and I watch the concern cross her face before she's even fully through the door."You're back.""I'm back."She doesn't ask right away, just sets her bag down and studies me the way she's done since I was fifteen and showing up on her doorstep with problems too big for my own house. "Things not settled with Victor?""Working on it.""Working on it how?""Susan." I give her a look, and she reads it correctly, that I'm not ready to lay the whole thing out, not the forgery, not the ring sitting in my bag after I took it off on my way here, not any of it. The fewer people who know the shape of this before I understand it myself, the better.She doesn't push, which is one of the things I love most about her. "Fine. But if you need anything, you tell me. Promise me that much.""I promise."She kisses my forehead and disappears toward the kitchen, and a few minutes later I hear Daniel's key in the door, his voice carrying

MAXWELLI sit with Reeves's business card in my hand for three days before I do anything about it.I've kept it since that night outside the BBI office, tucked into the same jacket pocket, moved from suit to suit without ever quite throwing it away. I told myself at the time it was instinct, a man keeping a useful contact in his back pocket the way you keep any contact that might matter later. I understand now it was something closer to premeditation, even if I hadn't admitted the shape of it to myself yet.Eleanor's garden is still sitting in my chest like a bruise that hasn't finished forming. Ariana, Bindy by blood. The twins, once a month. Selene, laughing with some stranger while I stood there discovering exactly how small I actually am in a world I thought I understood. Jonathan, revealing himself as one more piece of a structure that's apparently been closing around me for longer than I knew to be afraid of it.Giants fall. I told myself that in the dark outside Eleanor's h

MASONEleanor's study is quiet when I arrive, the late morning light cutting across her desk in a single clean line."You have something for me," she says, before I've fully crossed the room."I do." I set the folder down in front of her, the copy of the document inside it, everything precisely as it was filed. "Selene's signature. Notarized yesterday. The shares issued in her name this morning."Eleanor opens it without hurry, reading each page with the same unbothered attention she gives everything, and I watch her expression shift, just slightly, into something satisfied by the time she reaches the last page."He delivered," I say."He did indeed." She sets the folder down, folding her hands over it. "Not a small thing, forging a signature convincing enough to survive Victor Cox's own lawyer holding it up to a camera.""He's proven himself reliable." I keep my voice even. "And useful.""Yes." Something almost like approval crosses her face. "I'll remember that, going forward."She'

VICTORHer jaw tightens. For a moment, neither of us says anything, the ring still sitting on her hand between us like something neither of us knows how to touch."Legally," I say finally, "as of this morning, nothing has to change. I understand that. I'm not asking you to accept a marriage you didn't choose because a piece of paper says you did." I hold her gaze. "But I won't act like your husband until you choose it yourself, with your own hand on the pen, in front of me, so there's no question left standing between us. Not financially. Not any other way. If we never find who did this, I'll dissolve it myself rather than hold you to terms you never agreed to."Something flickers across her face, not quite trust, not yet, but something that isn't pure fury either."That's convenient," she says. "Now that you've already had what you wanted."The words land harder than I expect, and I understand, watching her face, exactly what she means by it, what happened between us last night, bef

VICTORNeither of us moves for a while.She turns the certificate over in her hands, reading it again, and I can see her working through something, her eyes not quite settling on any one line for long. I stay where I am, watching her, waiting to see which direction she comes out of this in."Talk me through it again," she says quietly. "The timeline.""The document arrived by courier just after nine yesterday morning. Notarized by noon.""And you had it drafted the night before. After I left.""Yes.""So the only people who saw those exact terms, before I ever agreed to any of them, were you, and whichever lawyer typed it up.""Correct." I don't like where this is going, but I don't see the use in dressing it up as something other than what it is."And you already had my signature. On file. From every contract I've ever signed for you."Something in my chest tightens as I watch her put the pieces down in front of her, one after another, each one landing a little harder than the last.

VICTORI can feel her walls clamping around me, milking me with every stroke. I pick up the pace, the slow grind turning into powerful pounding. I watch her face, the way her eyes rolled back, the way she gasped for air.A white-hot pressure builds in my gut, and with one final deep thrust that buries me to the hilt, I feel her orgasm crash over her again, and I follow her, erupting deep inside her in a violent release.I collapse onto her, breathless and spent, our hearts hammering against our ribs in unison.***It's past noon before either of us moves with any real purpose.Selene is stretched out on her stomach, one leg tangled in the sheet, hair everywhere. She's watching me with a lazy, satisfied expression, propped up on one elbow."You're too energetic for a man your age," she says.I roll onto my back and look at her. "I know.""Don't you have somewhere to be?""Finch knows I'm not coming in."She raises an eyebrow. "All day?""All day."She laughs, low and genuinely amused,
