LOGINLeahI told Sam about the blind date, and she was more furious than I'd been recalling it. She almost stormed out to go find him, but I stopped her. "I handled it," I assured her.Well... I think I did. Anyways, she eventually calmed down,but I knew she was going to find him later. Honestly, I was just glad the blind dates were over.As for Edward, I didn't see him again until Wednesday, when I was taking Roman to school. I had managed to avoid him perfectly until now."Hi," he said, waving at me as he got into the elevator. He was smiling warmly at me, and that only made my guilt increase.I felt like I'd used him and ghosted him after. You did.I nodded politely, unable to meet his eyes.The elevator ride took more time than usual, and his eyes on me throughout weren't helping matters.When the door finally opened and I walked out with Roman, I thought he was going to stop me, but he didn't. Thank God.I dropped Roman off at school and watched him reluctantly drag his feet into

LeahHis mouth was gentle, hesitant, his fingers tracing instead of gripping, careful instead of demanding. It frustrated me because all I could think of was a different pair of hands that were rough and possessive. A man who used to kiss me like he wanted to suck the damn air right out of my lungs, devour me, pull me into him until I was a part of him.I hated that I was comparing them. Hated that he'd been right that no man would ever touch me the way he did. What I hated most was the ugly truth rising in my chest. He had made me crave the roughness, the loss of control, and everything he taught my body to want. And the fucking alcohol wasn't helping!My thighs hit the edge of his bed, and I sank down with him."If you want to stop..." Edward whispered against my lips.I should stop, leave. But my desperate attempt to prove that he hadn't broken me had made me want to do something reckless."Please," I breathed, my fingers reaching for his belt. "Just fuck me already."I needed t

I'm doing you a favour by marrying you. No one wants a woman your age who's already..." he smirked his eyes, moving to my chest. "Used and old." My jaw dropped. The actual FUCK?! "I understand why your ex-wife left you. And I sympathise with the unfortunate woman who would end up with you." "Excuse me?" "This was a mistake," I muttered, standing and grabbing my purse. I turned to leave when he grabbed my arm. "Let go of
