Excerpt:
Staring at
the empty doorway, I’m not quite sure what to think so I lean back in the chair
and blow out a slow and steady breath to calm myself. Colton’s never said
anything like that to me before, and while everything he just said holds
serious merit, I’m still astounded he said it. And while a small part of me
warms, knowing he wants to take care of me, a larger part is irritated he’s
laying down the law. The irony.
It doesn’t
mean I have to abide by it though.
I look
toward the ceiling and close my eyes momentarily. The many things I need to do
run through my head, but I can’t do any of them because I can’t leave my house,
can’t carry on my life like normal. I’m stuck here and that thought alone makes
me feel claustrophobic.
I’m exposed
to the world but trapped in my house.
Feeling
defeated, my eyes flutter open to see the beach beyond the windows down below.
And for the first time since we’ve met, I truly understand why Colton finds
such refuge in his beloved beach—the crash of the waves, the feel of the sand
beneath his feet, and the sense he’s this tiny blip on Mother Nature’s radar.
A soft chuckle
falls from my lips as it hits me. On the beach, he feels
inconsequential. How very fitting for a man who once
told me I would never be that to him to have the need to feel that way at
times.
My mind
shifts back to that place and time. A ghost of a smile turns up my lips of the
welcome memory of the Merit Rum party: dancing in the club followed by him
chasing me into the hallway. Angry words. Contemptuous kisses. Hungry eyes. An
elevator ride to the penthouse with a promised threat to decide.
Yes. Or.
No.
I find
comfort in the memory. Without that night, there most likely wouldn’t be this.
No Colton. No baby on the way. No chaos to want to hide from.
My eyes are
drawn back to the beach. To the temptation of Colton’s place to escape. Sadly,
right now, I couldn’t escape down there if I wanted to. At least he can get on
his board and paddle out beyond the break to get some distance from the
photographers. I’m not so lucky.
What I’d
give to be inconsequential right now.
And yet deep
down, no matter how hard I try, I know I will never be that to Colton. He’d
never allow it. My handsome, complicated, and very stubborn husband takes too
much pride in the two things he never thought he’d have—a wife and her love—to
ever let me feel inconsequential again.
