All Chapters of Drowning in Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Travis was finally back from his trip.I’d done everything. I showered, did my makeup carefully, slipped into expensive lace lingerie, and got into bed early to wait for him. But after his shower, he opened the bedroom door, saw me on the bed, and froze.“Why are you here?” His voice was cold, with no warmth at all.I looked him up and down. He’d always had a great body. His robe hung half open, showing a solid chest and cut abs. With that straight nose and those long fingers, he should’ve been incredible in bed. But in the six months we’d been married, I’d never gotten the chance. It made my irritation flare.“I’m sleeping here tonight.” No matter what excuse he tried to use, I wasn’t leaving.Travis’s gaze flicked over what I was wearing. In a low, hoarse voice, he said, “Fine.”That was it? I could barely believe it.When he came closer, I suddenly felt awkward. The bedside lamps were dim. He lay down, my heart pounding, and I wrapped my arms around his waist. He went rigid a

Who’s showering?—I woke up again to find myself completely wrapped in Travis’s arms. Something hard and unmistakable pressed against the top of my thigh. His breath was hot.Travis seemed to be waking up too. He ran a hand over my forehead, slow and careful. “You’re still a little warm. How do you feel?”I snapped fully awake. Yeah, because you’re the one burning up.I tried to shove him off with my elbow, but he caught my waist. His rough fingertips brushed my skin, sending a jolt through me. I couldn’t stop the soft moan that slipped out.“Anna.” Travis’s lips hovered near my ear, his voice low and dangerously tempting. “Wanna do it?”If this had been before, I would’ve melted right into him. But after last night, there was distance between us. To me, his offer felt like charity.My body was still weak from the fever. I pushed him away, my expression cold.“Not in the mood.”Travis went pale instantly. A flicker of embarrassment crossed his face as he backed off. When I

I’d always thought Travis was the kind of man who never smiled, as if he’d sworn off pleasure entirely. I never would’ve guessed the other side of him was quietly horny and insecure.My first thought was that I’d opened the wrong profile. I couldn’t stop scrolling.Account ID: “DeepSeaShark”“I couldn’t help it. I’ve snuck into her bathroom a few times. If she ever finds out those panties were me, she’d call the cops, right? I don’t want her to hate me.”“This uncontrollable sex drive is the worst. I ruined so many of her dresses… Holding back from touching her was the right choice after all.”“Last time I was in front of her, I wasn’t wearing a shirt. I wonder if she felt anything. Damn towel covered too much. She didn’t even see I tattooed her name low on my stomach.”“Today she said someone broke into her place. I acted calm, but I was about to lose it. Those lingerie? I took them.”“Anna, I don’t want you only in my dreams. Look at me.”The more I read, the more my hands sh

I didn’t call him out.I stepped aside. “Please.”When Travis came in, he was carrying a fruit plate and a small, mysterious paper bag. His gaze cut sharply over the two men on the sofa.They were wiped from performing. Faces flushed, clothes a mess, breathing hard. When Travis saw the rumpled sheets, his fist clenched so tightly his knuckles popped. It took him a long moment to rein in that murderous look before he went into the bathroom.The second the door shut, the two models started trembling.“Oh my God, Anna. Your husband just looked like he could send us to the morgue.”I hadn’t seen Travis’s expression. Hearing that, I lifted an eyebrow.“Thanks for your hard work tonight. You can head out now.”“Okay, okay. Hope you have a night to remember.”I hoped so.Water started running in the bathroom. I straightened the messed-up sheets, then crept to the bathroom door. It was eerily quiet inside.I went back to the sofa and checked Travis’s private account. Sure enough, he

As I thought back on last night’s intense showdown, my scalp tingled.Never mess with someone who’s been holding back for six months.My silence only made Wendy laugh harder.“Oh, so you were just trying to provoke him? So all that divorce talk earlier was just part of the flirting?”The word ‘divorce’ snapped me to attention.Oh no. The agreement.I flew out of bed and rushed to the vanity, only to find the document from last night was gone.—My first instinct was that Travis had taken it.The thought was mortifying. After last night’s… situation, he finds out I want a divorce? I couldn’t imagine the look he’d give me.So I did my makeup carefully and drove straight to Travis’s company.It was my first time stepping into Chancer Industries’ headquarters. The receptionist recognized me instantly and respectfully led me to the CEO’s office. The secretary signaled that Travis was inside and told me to go right in.I hesitated at the door, worried I’d interrupt a meeting. The
