Her Reluctant Wife: A Lesbian Age Gap Romance - Page 113

clung to that. Wrongly. All of it was wrong.”

“You saw what you wanted, and you took it. You got the

necklace, and you just about executed a perfect revenge plot.”

Giana started to clap, and the sound rang through the house.

Coralyn felt her face heat up with shame. “Bravo. I have to

say, as one fellow ruthless woman to another, I applaud you.

The world needs more people like us.”

“Stop.” She wanted to close her eyes, to block out the sight

of Giana’s twisted, mocking grin. She couldn’t. She kept them

open. Her bones felt like they’d been rearranged and were

rattling around under her skin, the pain was so great. Pain

upon layer and layer of pain.

“That is, you did want revenge, until what? Because I don’t

buy that it was just your conscience kicking in. That you were

raised better and all that crap. I think you liked being held up

against the wall. Did you like being trapped there, at my

mercy?”

“Please stop saying those things. They’re mean.”

“Darling, we’ve already established that I’m not a good

person.” A twisted sneer formed on Giana’s lips, and it looked

unnatural there when Coralyn had been treated to her kind

smiles, her concern, her empathy, and her care.

Even when she’d thrown her up against that wall, it was all

passion, all feeling. She’d kissed her senseless. There had been

that feeling of right that swept through Coralyn, a feeling like

she’d come out of her body. It was more than just physical. It

felt like a soul connection. She thought of Giana’s soft hands,

massaging her hair in the shower after they’d gotten back from

the hospital. She hadn’t wanted anything more than to help her

grieve and help her heal. She wasn’t going to take from her.
