Part III

My orgasm left me so spent, so filled I was barely able to lift my head from the desk, but his words sent a rush of adrenalin coursing through me.

“God, Mack, I can’t go through this again…not again,” I whispered, my voice strangled even to my own ears. I swallowed deep and felt him take a deep breath in response.

I pushed against Mack’s chest, silently asking him to move. The instant the cool air from the overhead vent hit my bared body, I wrapped my arms around myself and shivered.

“Come here, you’re cold,” he murmured. He gathered my resistant body into the shelter of his arms and lifted me, carrying me to my leather chair and sat down. I lay my head back down on his chest, listening to the reassuring, steady thump of his heartbeat against my ear.

“Sheena, baby…you’re not going to have to go through anything else with me. I’m a changed man — I’m not the same guy you married ten years ago. We were so young, damn baby, we were kids! I didn’t know anything about being a man, much less a husband…or father,” he said, forcing my body closer into the warm hard muscles of his chest.

The admission tore into me. I wished we could have avoided all mention of the baby, and for him to bring it up now, after the extreme eroticism of our lovemaking had left me shaken, my body not yet recovered from what he’d done to me…my emotions were all over the place.

I felt like raw meat, exposed and completely undone.

“Don’t — please don’t go there. I can’t —” I wrenched myself away from the warmth of his embrace, knowing that if I stayed there much longer, I wouldn’t be able to do what I needed to do. And what I needed to do was end this now, before it went any further.

“Fuck, yes! Yes, we are going there. Not going there is part of the reason we couldn’t make it in the first damn place, Sheena. Not going there is the reason you left me, didn’t help me…”

I spun around so hard, my head almost separated from my shoulders. “Shit, I didn’t help you, Mack? Are you serious? God! Please don’t tell me you’re serious!” With angry precise movements, I picked up my blouse and shoved my arms through the sleeves, tears blinding my eyes.

He leapt up from where he was sitting and grabbed me, pulling my face close to his, forcing my head to snap up and look him in the eyes. “Yes, I know, I was scum, I wasn’t there for you. You’ve told me that a million times, and if you weren’t telling me, it was either your mama or your grandmother letting me know what a complete failure I was. That you would be better off without me.”

“Wha…what are you talking about? What do my mother and grandmother have to do with this? Mack? Mack!” He turned and walked away, leaving my arms to dangle at my sides.
