All Chapters of His Wife: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Kendra and I lay next to our private swimming pool. We have a small two-room villa on the resort with a swim-up pool. Hearing my phone buzz, I quickly check it. I smile when I see Max’s name.Walking back out to the pool, Kendra gives me a knowing look, “What did he say?” she asked.I roll my eyes, “He offered to get tickets for us if there is a show we wanted to see.”“Did he call you, his kitten?” she questioned.“Not this time,” I say with a smile.Kendra sits up in her lounge chair and turns to face me. “Are you happy?”I shrug, “I’m not unhappy. I'm just worried he is playing me. Max isn’t a bad guy. He has his demons, but we all do. I’m starting to like him.”“Do you think he loves you?” Kendra asked.“I don’t know. Lucy told me that he said to Chad that he did. But Max hasn’t said anything to me. This whole thing with him could still be a game. But we are dating.”“Do you love him?” Kendra questioned.I shake my head, “What does that feel like?”“The feeling varies. But I can t

“He said it just like that? Max said he was going to “fuck you” if you whispered?” Kendra asked in a hushed tone at the café where we often meet.“If I nipped him, scratched him, or pulled his hair,” I correct her.“But then he raised his voice at you when you whispered and added that to the list,” Kendra explains.I nod, “In a way, yes. But…that wasn’t the worst part.”Kendra looks concerned. “What is the worst part?”I fiddle with my hands and avert my eyes, “I wanted him to do that.”“You wanted him to do that?” Kendra questions.“Yes,” I responded, annoyed. “The first thing I wanted to do when he told me the list was to do everything on the list. I wanted to pull his hair, scratch down his back, and nip at his lips again.”Kendra makes a face, “It is one of two things. The first is that you have a ton of built-up sexual frustration from ignoring your desires over the years. Or option two, you’re secretly a kinky brat.”I find myself offended by her words, “I’m neither of those thi

Max and I go to see his grandparents. Bea smiles when she sees Max. They embrace. We all go down to one of the cafes in the building. Bea’s friends are there and wave us over. The girls all giggle when they see Max. Immediately, they begin giving him a hard time. “Max, have you come to make an announcement?” Joyce asked. I want to roll my eyes. They always ask when Max and I will have a baby.Max smiles, “I am only here to have lunch with my two favorite women and my grandfather.”Maggie gives Bea a look, “Are they going to start trying soon? I’m ready to see a baby.”Bea shakes her head, “They aren’t ready yet.”Sandy looks at Max, “Have your wife lay back with her legs in the air after love making. And switch to boxers.”Maggie then says, “It has almost been a year. Maybe Ellie should see a doctor. My daughter-in-law was having fertility issues, I can give you the name of her doctor.”Without hesitations, Max says, “Ellie and I aren’t trying for a baby. I know it sounds silly, but I

“Do you want me to sleep on the couch in front of your bed?” I asked.“No, that’s an upholstered bench, it isn’t good for sleeping. I meant in bed with me,” Max explained.I am surprised, “Why would you offer that?”“James said you asked to sleep in his room after a break-in. I thought this would make you feel safe,” Max says in a calm voice. Smiling he says, “We shared a bed already.”“Yes, but things are different now. We are in a different place,” I tell him.“Alright, let’s set some rules. In the bedroom, I won’t touch you. The only time I kiss you or touch you is outside the room. When we are going to bed, I stay on my side of the bed. My bed is a king, not a queen like what we had at the hotel,” Max explained. “You shouldn’t wake with me pressed against you.”“I don’t know if I want that,” I tell him honestly. Max looks confused. Letting out a sigh, I say, “I like when you hold me. I like when we kiss. I’m just not ready…”Max nods in understanding, “I know, kitten. I’m not tryi

I watch Max closely. He is avoiding my eyes. “I’m just trying to understand Max. Three months ago, I wasn’t allowed to call you, Max. It wasn’t that long ago that you were trying to get rid of me. Then you do this 180 that seems to come out of nowhere. I’ve always wondered if it was a game.” I pause for a moment, then explain, “You had the opportunity today for me to no longer be a problem for you. You could’ve ignored the yelling and went straight to mowing. You’ve said there is nothing special about me. Why did you put yourself in harms way for me?”“Elanor, after everything you and I have done together. Do you truly believe you’re nothing to me?” Max is silent for a moment, then says, “I didn’t think you could get to me.”“What do you mean?” I asked.Max finally makes eye contact with me, “You saw me at my worse Ellie. Sadly, you met me at my worst. I know that it wasn’t a good impression.”“Why do you care now? Why did you fight for me today?” I asked.Max shakes his head, “Don’t
