BlueArtemis is moving before I can get off the couch. I scramble to my feet and jog after him. When I reach the door to our room he’s already pulling things out of the closet. To my surprise, he isn’t being careful with his suits. He grabs them all in one go and throws them on the bed. Next he pulls his shirts, socks, and boxers from the drawer he chose as his and throws them in his overnight bag. When he notices me, he stops short wand looks at me confused. “What are you doing?”I point to myself like I’m not sure if he’s talking to me.“Yes you. Get your shit.” He starts moving again and I rush over to do as he asks. He looks determined and in no mood to be messed with so who am I to get in his way? Since I haven’t had a chance to unpack the box of clothes that came for me I just throw all my stuff in it. It’s not like I have a bag to put them in since no one has given me back my stuff. Seriously are they holding it hostage? Where are the damn bags? I’m starting to wonder if Arte

BlueArtemis looks at me confused and I smile because he doesn’t know what’s coming. He isn’t ready for this but this is the coolest place ever and I’m too excited to contain myself. I run from the balcony and jump at him for a huge hug. He catches me with a grunt but catches me. “What’s going on? You had me worried!” He sounds like he’s ready to scold me but I lean back and kiss him on the cheek.“This is the coolest place I’ve ever been! I love it!”He sighs and shakes his head at me like he can’t put up with anymore but he doesn’t let me go.“Can we live here after we get married?” I all but beg. His forehead scrunched up. “You want to live…here.”He looks a little disgusted by the idea but this place is adorable and the view is amazing. Some of the houses even have Christmas lights up already which only makes the neighborhood even more beautiful. The way the lights sparkle on the water…I love it. “Why not? It’s so homey and you said no one knows about it.” He sets me back down

BlueArtemis leaves me again to make a few work calls and I decide to get ready for bed early. I shower and climb into our bed before eight. At some point I feel the bed dip but I ignore it and go back to sleep. My mind works over time while I sleep sending me nightmares of a different kind. Instead of reminders of my past they are glimpses of my future with Artemis. None of them end well. I haven’t been someone who believes dreams are glimpses into the future but these dreams are so posable that could easily be premonitions. When I finally wake up I wait to see if I can feel Artemis cuddling up against me again, but there’s no warmth. I roll onto my other side and see the other side of the bed empty. Did he even go to bed last night? I roll onto my back and sigh loudly. I don’t know how long I lay like that but the sound of my phone going off gets my attention. It’s sitting on the table next to me, so I roll over again to grab it. The screen lights up again and I see it’s a text fro

BlueWhile Artemis is talking on the phone, I take mine out and see a message from Liam. When I open it and see the full message, I know what Artemis’s call is about. Liam has sent his lawyer a revised version of our contract and arranged a meeting. “Let’s make the meeting today since Blue is already here. See you in an hour.” He ends the call and sets his phone face down on his desk. “We’re having a meeting between with our lawyers today. Which I find strange since you couldn’t have possibly found a lawyer that quick and afford one either.”I gape at him but only long enough for my anger to overpower my shock and I snap my mouth shut real quick. “I don’t need to be reminded that I have nothing other than what you generously offer me. I never asked for anything from you so far that you haven’t freely given. Do want these clothes back? Fine but return my stuff so at least I’ll have something that I paid for with my own money. I also have money stashed in there that should help me fee

BlueShocked is the only word I can use to explain what just happened. Artemis had been glaring at Liam since we walked in and I was ready for him to say something assholeish, but he kept it some what civil. Well, civil in Artemis’s book. I didn’t expect him to ask me to write down a whole list of new rules. My old one had been longer and was mostly a jab at Artemis. The list I gave him this time were all the things I really want out of our relationship. I don’t want us to just be roommates who are married. No divorce was one of the things mentioned in Artemis’s contract, which I expected. As crazy as it sounds, I didn’t mind that bit, but if I’m never gong to get married again I want to be part of my husband’s life. Even if I have to make it happen with a contract. It can be pretend if he wants it to be, but I want to feel what marriage can be like even if it’s an act. Plus, Artemis is an enigma that I can’t help but want to learn more about. “Mr. Rhodes should we also discuss the
