Richard POV.

We lay on the cool sand in heavy silence, her head resting on my chest as the waves whispered in the distance. My mind was spinning. What the hell had just happened? I’d gotten angry at her for something that wasn’t entirely her fault—something we had both done. I had cheated on my wife, yet here I was, still feeling entitled to rage, while my wife’s screams of another man’s name still echoed somewhere in the back of my memory.

God… how do we move past this?

    Richard’s POVAs Payton ran off down the hallway, my knees nearly gave out. What the hell just happened? My heart slammed against my ribs as I lunged forward to chase after her, but Elizabeth’s grip on my arm tightened like a vice, yanking me back.“What are you doing?” I snapped, trying to pull free. “Let me go!”“No, Richard,” she said calmly, her voice too steady for the chaos swirling around us. “Don’t you see? Everything is finally falling into place for us.”I stared at her, disbelief twisting my features. “Elizabeth, what the hell are you talking about?”She stepped closer, her hand gently resting on her stomach. “What I’m saying is… we could be a real family now. I’m carrying your child, Richard. And I promise you, I will love you more than Payton ever could. Deeper. Better. Without all the complications.”A broken whisper escaped my lips. “What…?”Tears stung my eyes and spilled hot down my cheeks before I could stop them. A weak, bitter laugh slipped out as my legs buckled.

    I rolled on top of him, straddling his waist, and captured his lips in a deep, hungry kiss. My fingers splayed across the hard planes of his chest, feeling his heart hammering beneath my palms. For a moment, I lost myself in him—until reality crashed back in.“Teddy, stop,” I whispered breathlessly, pulling away. I climbed off the bed on shaky legs. “I have to go. Richard will be looking for me by now.”Teddy sat up quickly, eyes wide with disbelief. “What?” He stood too, completely naked, his thick, hard cock jutting out proudly toward me, swollen and throbbing. The sight sent a rush of heat straight between my thighs. God, how could one man look so tempting? I must be losing my mind.“Teddy, please…” I immediately turned my back to him, trying to steady my breathing.“I need to talk to him. I can’t do this right now.”He moved closer, his footsteps silent on the carpet. I swallowed hard as his strong arms wrapped around me from behind, pulling my body flush against his. His scorchin

    Payton’s POVDeep down, I knew Teddy was carrying far more than he let anyone see. The weight he carried was heavier than one person should have to bear alone, but he wasn’t the type to talk about it. He walked around acting strong and untouchable, yet I knew the truth: all it would take for him to open up was a woman who truly understood him—one who could take control and make him feel safe enough to let go.I lay beside him, my fingers sinking into his soft hair as he closed his eyes in pleasure. Slowly, I traced my fingertips down the bridge of his nose, over his full lips, then leaned in and kissed him deeply. He groaned into my mouth and grabbed the back of my head, trying to pull me closer, but I bit his bottom lip hard and pulled away.“Stay still,” I whispered.His eyes fluttered open, dark with need, and he obeyed instantly. A small, satisfied smile touched my lips as I ran my thumb across his mouth. He parted his lips and sucked my thumb inside, his tongue warm and eager. My

    Richard’s POVWhere the hell has she gone?I paced the hotel room for what felt like the hundredth time, glancing at the clock. Hours. It had been hours since Payton stepped out, and she still wasn’t back. My chest tightened with a mixture of worry and frustration. I grabbed my keycard and stormed out, slamming the door behind me.The elevator ride down to the lobby gave me too much time to think. My mind kept drifting back to the phone I’d stupidly left on the nightstand. Elizabeth had been blowing it up since the wedding ceremony started—text after text, demanding I come see her because she was in Las Vegas. Here. In the same damn city. And if I didn’t show up, she swore she’d make sure I regretted it.Sometimes I wonder if she’s even human at all, or how she manages to know my every movement. I remembered the day she showed up at my house, demanding to see me after she came back from the hospital saying I will go with her to the next checkup for our baby. That was when I accidenta

    I let out a low hum, still half-lost in her body and pretty face. “Hmmm? What is it?”Payton shifted, her eyes sparkling with that soft, curious light that always made my chest tighten. She smiled, tracing lazy circles on the back of my hand. “Tell me one sweet and sad thing about your life.”“What?”Oh, for fuck’s sake. This was exactly what I hated—women digging into shit that didn’t matter when we were supposed to be fucking. This was why I ran from relationships. One innocent question and suddenly we’re unpacking your entire childhood like some damn therapy session.“Payton, please,” I said, my mood flipping in an instant. I turned my face away, jaw tight. “Stop. I don’t want us to go there.”“Come on, Teddy,” she cooed, squeezing my hands tighter and swinging them playfully between us like we were teenagers. She was smiling, all sweet and stubborn, and it only made me want her more.I forced a smile, yanked her closer, then flipped her onto her back in one smooth motion, caging

    Teddy’s POVI paced the hotel room like a caged animal, every second stretching longer than the last. Payton was all I could think about. She had burrowed so deep into my mind that I couldn’t focus on anything else. I sat on the edge of the king-sized bed and began peeling off my clothes—shirt, pants, shoes—until I was completely naked.God, I missed her. I could barely breathe from how badly I wanted her right now. I should have taken her the last time we were together. She wouldn’t have resisted. But I held back on purpose. I wanted her to remember what it felt like to be with Teddy Murphy. I wanted her to crave me so desperately that she’d have no choice but to run straight into my arms.I stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. The warm water cascaded over my tense muscles, but it did nothing to ease the ache between my legs. Payton was driving me insane. I’d never gone to such extremes for any woman before. I was used to getting what I wanted easily, but Payton… for h
