Chapter 16

Ava

Sometime in the night, I’m awakened by Rowan moving behind me. His hand is on my waist, moving higher until it cups my breast. He rolls my nipple in his fingers, making it lengthen and harden in response. My pussy grows wet for him, and even though I’m barely awake, my legs slide open.

His erection nudges at my thigh, and I move to help him slide inside me. It’s dreamy and erotic and my lower stomach tingles with pleasure. He pumps quickly and repeatedly, holding my hips until he finishes with a moan, filling me to overflowing. We both return to the haze of sleep, and it isn’t until later the next day that the sexy memory drifts through my mind.

I’m watching my husband working at the laptop, typing in a message, and I study his profile, wondering how soon I can tell if I’m pregnant. His eyes blink up to mine, and when he catches my gaze, they grow warm.

“What’s on your mind, beautiful?”

“Happier things,” I say.

Rowan is sending a message to Dwayne about their meeting, and my fleeting, blissful memory of last night is immediately replaced with the heaviness of what’s looming ahead.

He covers my hand with his. “I’m taking care of it.”

I press my lips together. I have to get the slate clean. “One last thing I never had a chance to tell you,” I start.

His brow lines, and he scoots the chair back from the desk. “Go ahead.”

“You know what happened to Ramona, the first girl?”

His brow furrows, but he nods. “The police guessed she caught an intruder and whoever it was panicked into murdering her.”

“That’s right,” I say slowly. Inhaling a shaky breath, I tell him my deepest fear. “I think Dwayne did it.”

Rowan is quiet, evaluating my words. “Why do you think that?”

My chin drops, and heaviness invades our personal space. I hate this burden I’ve brought into our lives, but I’m committed to finishing it, getting rid of it. I want it behind us before we move into what’s next for us. I want my past dead and buried before we start our family.

“I was watching all of them. Remember?”

“Yes…”

“The second one, Grace… the one who lived in London… she suffered the same fate.”

He’s out of his seat and coming to me. I hadn’t intended to cry, but a hot tear rolls down my cheek. He’s holding me, rubbing my back.

“It was the exact same scenario,” I hiccup. “A robbery gone wrong. Her flat was ransacked, and they think she startled the intruder.” Swallowing the knot of fear in my throat, I say it. “She was strangled to death.”

“Ava,” my husband whispers. “Why didn’t you tell me about this?”

“I was going to. So many things came up and Cal and Zelda arrived and I never seemed to have the chance to speak to you alone.”

“I have a confession.” He hugs me briefly before stepping back and meeting my eyes. “I had a feeling he was behind what happened to the first girl.
