“I don’t know. You?”
“No.”
“No?”
“Think about it from Juana’s point of view.” Embry tipped me onto my back and stole a kiss. “Swapping me for you isn’t all that different. It needs to be someone you trust with her safetyandher privacy.”
He was right. About all of it. But his absent affection as he spat the words derailed my thoughts.
His lips at my neck.
His dick hard between us.
I reached for it and wrapped my hand around him. “You still got juice in the tank, cielito?”
Embry tried to bat me away. “Leave it.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
That word had done a lot of heavy lifting since I’d been awake this morning, but I meant it this time more than ever. Cos I’d never get tired of my husband wanting me. Of himlovingthat I wanted him too.
Can’t lie. I didn’t have another railing in me. But there was more than one way for Em to keep me in line, and I knew this dance well.
I tugged him on top of me. He lowered himself on my dick, keeping his weight off me, leaning back so his cock jutted out, and I could see how much he loved this. How hard he was as he rocked us together, grinding out a rhythm that was every bit as hypnotic as when he’d been inside me. The same strength binding his lean muscles, the same elegance in every curve and angle of his agile body.
We fucked for as long as we could stand it. Came with the same blistering heat we had the first time. Then we showered together and I realised the dizziness plaguing me the last few days really was gone.
And... I’d made Embry late—a fact hammered home by his phone blowing up when we got out.
“I have to go.” He came up behind me and kissed the nape of my neck. “Are you bringing Lili for her lesson later?”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t drive if you’re tired.”
“Em, I’m fine.”
He spun me round to check. Scrutinised me down to my core, but for the first time in days, I passed the test, and he held out a hand to help me up from the bed.
I took it. Let him ease me to my feet.
Embry smiled and kissed my cheek. “I love you.”

I found Cam and Rubi in the chapel. They glanced up as I approached, assessing me as much as everyone else in recent days.
“There he is,” Rubi called. “Back from the dead.”
“Fuck off.”
“Cannot, will not. We’ve been worried about you, Matsy.”
Cam’s scrutiny backed him up. He gave me his full attention. “You saved me a trip. I was about to come and see you.”
