Chapter 15

Skylar's POV

I was four steps from the foyer when I heard it.

Is there a woman in this house?

I froze on the stairs. My heart beat began to do skips and jumps very quickly.

For a moment I just stood there with one hand on the railing, listening to the silence that followed the question. Then I straightened up.

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME    SHE'S PASSED OUT

    Chapter 15Skylar's POVI was four steps from the foyer when I heard it.Is there a woman in this house?I froze on the stairs. My heart beat began to do skips and jumps very quickly.For a moment I just stood there with one hand on the railing, listening to the silence that followed the question. Then I straightened up. Conor had told me at our last session that I'd lost a few pounds. I hadn't believed him. I hadn't seen any real difference yet when I looked in the mirror, but I was standing taller than I used to. I had noticed that at least. And I had gotten better at not apologising for taking up space.So why was I hiding on a staircase?I could go back up. Retreat to my room, wait it out, let Zane handle it. But she would find out I was here eventually. This was not a large enough secret for a small enough house and if she found out after I'd been hiding, it would be worse. It would look exactly like what it was: a woman who still thought she needed to make herself invisible.I w

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME    IS THERE A WOMAN IN THIS HOUSE?

    Chapter 14Zane's POVI still couldn't quite believe it. She had said she thought she loved me too.That was more than enough. That was honestly more than I had expected from her this soon, given everything she was still carrying. I had said what I felt because I couldn't hold it back any longer, not with her standing in my doorway wrapped in my sheets looking at me with those eyes. And she had said it back. Not with total certainty, but she had said it. That was all I needed.I pushed up from the bed and walked to the shower. I had serious work waiting at the office and my head was running warmer than usual. Cold water would sort at least one of those.Skylar had already gone by the time I was dressed. She had left for the studio early, which I approved of . She needed to settle into it. After all it was her property now. I told Agnes to prepare something for breakfast but found when I sat down that I had no appetite. Not for any particular reason, not stress or worry, just the pa

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME    ARE YOU BOTHERED BY THE STRETCH MARKS?

    Chapter 13Skylar's POVHe kept kissing me. Not just my lips but my forehead, my eyes, the side of my neck, the curve of my collarbone. Slow and deliberate, like he had been waiting to do this for a long time and had no intention of rushing it. My body was responding in ways I had forgotten it could. I wrapped my legs around him and he pulled back just enough to look at me.Then we abandoned the food entirely.His room was dark except for the city light coming through the curtains, and he laid me down on the bed with the kind of care that made something crack open in my chest . Not painfully, just the way old things crack when warmth gets in. He kissed me again between pulling at my top and I let him, and for a stretch of time I stopped thinking about anything at all.Then I pulled back."What's wrong?" He stilled immediately, eyes on my face."It's nothing. It's just…" I exhaled. "It's been a very long time. Since I... you know." I looked at the ceiling briefly. "I don't think I'll d

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME    I KIDSED HIM BACK!

    Chapter 12Skylar's POVThe building was more than beautiful.It was a full floor in a glass tower in the centre of the city. High ceilings, clean lines, natural light pouring through windows that ran from floor to ceiling. There were workstations already set up, a design studio with drafting tables and pinboards, a showroom space at the far end with soft lighting and racks waiting to be filled. My name was on the signage by the entrance.I stood in the middle of it and didn't know what to do with my face."You did all this for me?" I turned to him. "Zane, you shouldn't have.""You complain too much, Sky. It's only appropriate that I spoil my woman."I froze at the words.My woman.A few of the office staff nearby glanced over with expressions I couldn't entirely read. They looked curious, assessing, the way people look when they're watching something they've been told about but haven't seen yet. I turned back to Zane."Babe, still you shouldn't have."I saw mouths shift. Someone look

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME    DO YOU THINK IM JEALOUS?

    Chapter 11Zane's POV"What's that supposed to mean?" Irritation crept slowly into my voice. "You like Conor. I don't understand.""Not in that way." She adjusted the pillow behind her."Then enlighten me. In what way?""I meant I like him as a coach. He's understanding that's all. I don't get why you're so upset about it." She blinked at me with the particular expression she used when she thought I was being unreasonable, which was apparently often."You're not supposed to like your trainer, Skylar. It's unprofessional." I reached for my tie out of habit, then remembered I'd ditched it an hour ago. My hand found nothing. I dropped it.She laughed, making a high-pitched, unguarded sound I hadn't heard from her before. "Sorry, Zane, but you're being funny right now. How is he supposed to train me if I can't stand him? Would you rather come in and do it yourself?" She tilted her head. "And stop acting like you're jealous."I stared at her.My chest tightened slowly, without permission.

  • TOO LATE TO WANT ME    I LIKE CONOR

    Chapter 10Skylar's POV"First is there any form of sport or exercise you're comfortable with?"I thought about it. "Well, I loved skipping when I was younger. It's been a long time, really. I don't know if that counts as much of an exercise.""It does." He smiled. "Let's start with something you enjoy so you don't burn out on day one. And good news. I have a jump rope in here."My eyes lit up. "Really? I'll try then."He handed me the rope and asked me to grip the handles firmly and give him twenty skips. Nice and easy to start."Easy peasy," I said.Then I got to work.The first time my feet left the floor, the impact when I landed sent a small shudder through the room. Or at least it felt that way. I thought briefly that maybe something structural was happening.I kept going. Skip after skip, the rope whipping overhead. Sweat broke out fast on my forehead, my chest, under my arms, the backs of my knees, places I hadn't thought about sweating in years. My lungs started complaining b
