“Hey, it’s me. I know it’s late. You’re probably in bed already. I’ve been going like crazy the past week trying to tie up some loose ends before you and I leave on Monday. I just wanted to say I was sorry. I know I’ve not been myself lately. There has been some stuff on my mind, business stuff, nothing to do with us, I just . . . well, I’ve been preoccupied. Anyway, I hope you’re dreaming sweet, honey. I miss you. Talk soon.” There was a click on the other end, and I sat there dumbfounded. It was obvious to me now that I’d read far too much into his behavior. A giddy feeling came over me. I would have been okay with being dumped, but not being dumped was a hell of a lot nicer. After locking up my car, I headed up the wide stone stairs to the building. A woman stood at the top, just outside the entrance, and looked down at me. When I tried to pass her, she placed her hand on the door.
“You and I need to talk,” she demanded. I stared at the brown-haired beauty, who had a look of fire in her eyes. “I’m sorry? Do I know you?” “No. But, I know you. You’re the one who’s been sleeping with my husband, Jack.” Just as quickly as my excitement had returned, it dissipated just as fast. Jack Dennison, my white knight, my prince charming, the man I’d fallen in love with, was married. | Nicole Morgan is a multi-published author of erotic romance novels,which more often than not have a suspenseful backstory.
