Crime Lord's Wife (Curvy Women Wanted)

Turning away from him, she swam to the opposite side of the pool.

“You think you can get away from me?” he asked.

“If you think about the last couple of weeks, I don’t need to try. I can just stay at home. I’m sure it’s not a problem for you. I seem to recall a lot of women would love the pleasure of your company. None of them could wait two minutes for me to leave to go to the bathroom before giving you their number.”

He stared at her. “You think I’ve been with other women?”

“It doesn’t matter to me. You can do whatever the hell you want. Most men do.” She gritted her teeth, hating how desperate she sounded.

She was no match for Jared and his hands were on her, trapping her against the edge of the pool.

“You’re jealous.”

“I know men can’t keep it in their pants and seeing as you can’t even stand to touch me anymore, you must have found another woman to be with. When will I be getting my divorce papers?”

****

Well, fuck him, she was jealous.

Jared stared at his beautiful wife with her quivering lip, and damn it, he wanted to kiss her harder than he ever had before.

“You really think you’re going to get away from me?”

“Oh, that’s right, Jared gets what he wants and we mere mortals can only stick around and wait it out. I have to do as I’m told.” She kept on talking but Jared was still on cloud nine. If his wife was jealous, it meant she had feelings, lots of them.

He understood jealousy.

Slamming his lips down on hers, he let go of her hands, sinking his fingers into her hair and keeping her in place as he ravished her mouth. He just couldn’t get enough of her. She drove him fucking wild. His cock was already rock-hard and ready to take her.

She pushed at his chest and he broke from the kiss to give her what she wanted.

Rose glared at him, her lip quivering.

“What is it?” he asked. “What can I do to make this right?”

She opened her mouth, closed it, and opened it again. “I don’t know.”

He stroked her cheek with the backs of his fingers and smiled.

“I get that you don’t want me anymore. Who would really want a woman who is pregnant?” She put her hands on her stomach.

He covered her hands with his own, touching her.

Silence filled the room. His men were guarding the door so no one would even think to come here. He didn’t want to be interrupted.

Now was the time.

He didn’t have a choice, but rather than be afraid, he was ready.

“I want you to listen closely to me.” He quickly pressed a kiss to her lips. “There is no other woman. I’ve dealt with work, nothing more. You asked me to be faithful and that’s exactly what I have done.”

“You expect me to believe you?”

“Yes, because I haven’t given you a reason to doubt me. There’s something else I need to tell you.”

“What?”

He stared into her green eyes. “Rose Cain, I don’t know how you did it, and I don’t even care if you believe me, it’s true. I’m fucking in love with you. There’s no other woman for me. No one even comes close to be able to replace you. You’re fucking everything and there’s no way I want anyone else.” He stroked her cheek. “I don’t even know how you can think I’d want anyone else when I’ve got you.”

Her mouth opened slightly, the shock clear on her face.

“You know, I’ve never told any other woman that I actually love them.”

“You love me?”

“Yes.”

“You’re not cheating on me?”

He chuckled. “No.”

“I… Oh, my,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting that. I thought you didn’t want me, like ever.”

“Not a chance. I love you. I’ve been working twice as hard to get home to be with you. You think I’d want to be anywhere else but to have you by my side?”

“I’m in shock. I mean, I was married to someone else.”

“Sean isn’t your problem. Your connection to him is gone, and they all know that if they mess with you, they mess with me.”

She put her hand on his heart. “Jared?”

“Yeah.”

“I’m in love with you too. I … I didn’t want to admit it but I do. I can’t make these feelings stop.”

He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Pressing her up against the pool, he kissed her.

Jared couldn’t get enough of her. She was everything.

His world.

He hadn’t been looking for love, but it had found him and now there really was no turning back. Not that he’d want to.

She was everything.

“I promise you, Rose, I’ll give you whatever your heart desires. Just ask and it will be yours.”

“You’re all I want. No one else.” She kissed him hard and he groaned.
