Chapter 22
Weeks went by with Jesse keeping a closer eye on Renee. She didn’t try to harm herself, but she was closed off. He had stopped taking her to the mommy and me group each week. She rarely smiled anymore. He had been checking her phone and the usage to see who she had been messaging. So far, she hadn’t deleted any of them off the phone. There were messages from the other women in the group asking her where she was and was everything okay. She never answered them.
When he touched her, she tensed up or shrunk away from him. She didn’t fight him, but she was no longer responsive in any way. She would cry at night when she thought he was asleep. Even Christian couldn’t get her to smile most of the time. He sighed as he sat on the couch, watching her play with Christian on the floor. She had a slight smile on her face, but you could tell it was only there for the sake of

Months went by and Jesse had still not been able to bring Renee around. She hadn’t been sleeping well. She would have bad dreams at night and lash out. Sometimes she hit him, but he didn’t do anything out of the way because of it. Instead, he would wrap her in his arms and hold her tight, trying to stop her from fighting in her sleep. She would wake up terrified and her body would shake for a long time before she would finally fall back asleep. Her eyes had dark circles under them and she was barely eating. He would have to force her to eat at dinner or she would just wind up pushing the food around on her plate. Summertime had hit and the flowerbeds that she had tended to the past two years were starting to bloom. She hadn’t even been outside to tend to them even once. He had tried to get her to come out with him and offered to help her with them, but she had told him no every time.

Once she finished changing Christian, she came back out to the living room. Jesse was sitting on the couch, leaned over with his elbows on his knees. He looked deep in thought so she left him alone. She could feel him staring at her and Christian and she couldn’t help but wonder what he was going to do next. When he suddenly stood up, she tensed, waiting for him to do something to her. Instead, he took Christian out of her lap. He stood her up and kissed her while holding Christian on his hip. Christian put his hands on their faces and Renee smiled at him as Jesse broke the kiss. Jesse was really happy to see that smile on Renee’s face. He hadn’t seen it in a long time, not even when she looked at Christian. She hadn’t tensed up when he had kissed her and it made him feel good. He was going to go ahead with his surprise for her. He wasn’t sure if she would like it or not after everyth

Renee had thought about Jesse’s comment all the way back to the house. She knew their fake ID’s had them listed as a married couple, but they weren’t actually married. Why would she need a wedding ring after all this time? She had to admit to herself that she would have liked to have gotten married one day, but now, she knew she wouldn’t. She had hoped that one day Kevin would propose, but he hadn’t. She had seriously thought he was going to do it on their anniversary, but Jesse had ruined that. She sighed as she started putting away all of the things that had been bought today.Jesse hadn’t given her the necklace she had seen him get. What had he bought it for? Jesse came into the room and saw her putting all of the things away. He had told her that he had a surprise for her so why wasn’t she getting ready? He stopped her as she went to put the dress

Renee noticed he wasn’t looking at the restaurant but directly at her when he said it. She found herself blushing. What was happening to her today? She had felt bad for Jesse earlier and then had felt a twinge of something when he said he had been talking to a woman. And now, she was blushing because of a compliment. She was losing her mind. When the waiter came over, Jesse ordered a bottle of wine. Renee was no longer breastfeeding so she was able to drink wine without worrying about it.“Do you see anything on the menu that you would like?”“Um, it’s all really expensive. I think I’m just going to get a salad.”“Nonsense. I brought you here knowing what the cost would be. I’m not worried about what the total is. Order w

Jesse sat back and smiled. She had a wild streak. He had never seen that from her before. Of course, he hadn’t reallyseen any of her different sides as she had never let loose aroundhim. He found her more intriguing now and wanted to get toknow all of her. He liked the little smile she had on her face as she thought about all the times she went mudding.“So, you are a country girl?”“Oh yeah. I loved to camp and go four-wheeling. I love a good bonfire. Good old fashioned country nights are always the best. You go four-wheeling, build a bonfire, camp out at night and wake up the next morning to fresh country air. It’s even better to wake up next to someone in that te

Renee felt a shiver run through her body as his handtraced down her bare back and around her waist. He showedher how to point the stick and he drew it back and thrust it forward so she could feel how hard to strike the cue ball. He continued to do this as he showed her different shots throughout the game. He would not only show her how to shoot, but he also took advantage to touch her in a way that was sexual. Renee found that being shown how to play was a very intimate thing.After the game was over, Jesse left her with the table to go get them another drink. She started racking the balls when a guy came up to the table. She ignored him when he smiled at her. She looked towards the bar and found Jesse was still there. She was surprised to find she hoped he came back soon as the guy was moving clos

“I’d like another drink,” Renee suddenly said.“Okay. I’ll get you one. Wait for me at the table.”“Okay,” Renee said as she went and sat down.She was going to need more alcohol to get through this night. She wondered if she had made Jesse mad and what was going to happen when they got back home. She kept staring atthe rings. They really were beautiful and elegant. But, she just kept thinking about the fact that this was just Jesse’s way of making her a possession of his. She was no one’s possession. Ifonly he had waited on this and given her time to at least adjust to the idea of him wooing her, but all of this was just too s

Jesse didn’t wait to take her into the bedroom. As soon as he had unlocked the door and pulled her inside, he pressed her against the door. He kissed her again as his hands went to her shoulders, moving the dress off of them. He felt Renee’s hands move to the buttons of his shirt. She was fumbling with them at first and got frustrated when she couldn’t get them undone. He felt her grab his shirt near the buttons and yank. The buttons went flying and her hands were on his chest.That was a major turn-on for him. He quickly pushed the dress off of her and broke the kiss as he moved back. He pulled the shirt off and threw it. Renee’s hands were already working on his pants. He pushed her hands away and pushed his pants and boxers down. Renee pulled him against her as she started kissing on his chest. Jesse wanted to slow this down. He wanted to take his time and enj
