Chapter Fourteen

—MaryAnn

I knew today…hell the past few months were too damn good to be true. I can see it written on his face. Whatever Ryan is about to say to me I don’t want to hear it. He’s going to destroy me. I finally let my walls down and he’s going to demolish the rest of my foundation. When I came through the door after going shopping with the girls he was sitting at the kitchen table nursing a beer. Next to the beer was an empty bottle of Jack Daniels. I don’t know if it was full when he sat down with it but judging by the smell of him it was close enough. His head hung low and when his eyes lifted to mine I wanted to cry.

The man who had promised me the world this morning was getting ready to take it all back.

I’ve been standing at the sink washing the same plate for five minutes waiting for him to get the courage to say what he needs to say. However, he decides to spin it, I already get the gist of it—we’re over before we really began. At least he possibly gave me something beautiful that no one can take away from me…this child growing inside me.

I feel his breath on the back of my neck and his arm curling around my waist. “I want you, sweet Mary.” His torturous lips that I crave touch the base of my neck. His hot, sticky, liquor coated breath clings to my skin as his tongue darts out and licks before his teeth bite and suck me there.

“You’re drunk.” I move to dry the plate and put it away, but he tightens his hold.

“Don’t pick a fight. Tonight I need to hold you. I need to love you. I need to get lost inside you.”

I twist around to face him, on the verge of tears. “It won’t change whatever is eating away at you.”

“No, but it means I can deal with it tomorrow.” So many emotions are swimming in his eyes. I feel dizzy trying to recognize them all. “Give in to me.” He cradles my face and I am powerless to deny him. He’s right. Whatever it is can wait until tomorrow. Even if he breaks my heart at least we’ll have tonight. “I hope you know how much I love you and how damn happy you make me.” His voice though doesn’t match his words. He sounds so sad and faraway. Detached.

Trying not to focus on the worry that is harping in the recess of my mind I muster a smile. “I love you too.” Our lips meet, his tasting of liquor and regret. Mine so full of want and hope, praying I have enough love in me to get us through whatever we are about to face. I want to believe that Ryan loves me but something is already coming between us. I thought maybe the stuff with Zo Zo, but I’m not so sure. I wanna know what’s changed since this morning but I won’t dare ask him.
