Second Chance Scandal
Page 106
He told her he loved her… After, he’d just told me all night that he loved me.
How long has he been in love with her?
He wouldn’t tell me the truth if I confronted him. I needed to get to the bottom of this on my own. Putting on the best performance of my life, I walked into the bedroom with his breakfast.
“I made you French toast.”
He stood and placed his cell phone in his back pocket. “Look at you, already fulfilling your wifely duties.”
I wanted to smack that grin off his face. How he could stand there and pretend like he wasn’t just talking to another woman completely blew my mind. Jax always had the ability to charm his way out of anything. Images of last night tore through my mind.
What if I am pregnant?
“Hey.” He caressed my cheek. “Are you okay?”
“Mmm-hmm...”
“You look like you’re going to be sick.”
“Yeah.” I pulled my face away and turned my back to him. “I’m not feeling that great.”
He wrapped his arms around my waist.
Nuzzling my neck with his lips, he rasped, “Maybe it’s morning sickness.”
“It doesn’t happen that fast.”
“A man can dream, can’t he?”
His touch was burning my skin. Overpowering all my senses, blinding me. I could barely see, let alone think straight. Trying to rationalize what was going on but failing miserably.
“I think I’m just tired is all. What time is your flight?”
“I have to leave in a minute.”
“You’re flying to Atlanta, right?”
“Yes, is Mommy going to watch Daddy’s game tomorrow night?”
His flirty banter was making me sick to my stomach.
“Ben wouldn’t have it any other way.” Trying to sound nonchalant, I asked, “What hotel are you staying at?”
“The Marriott Downtown, why?”
I spun around, kissing him. It was the only way I didn’t have to answer that question.
He gripped my face, turning our kiss into a heated embrace.
“You’re making it really hard to leave.”
“You’re right.” I pulled away. “You need to go.”
He kissed my lips one last time. “I love you, Baby Soph.”
I pecked him back, smiling when all I wanted to do was to break down.
At least before he never told me he loved me. Hearing him express it now was just adding insult to injury.
