Chapter 11

Reina,

I shouldn’t have hit on Luke Griffin’s wife, but you were driving me crazy. That tight pencil skirt, and your blouse that was loose, but not loose enough for me to see down…damn, I nearly came in my pants when I saw you standing there with her. It’s nothing new, I have the same physical response every time I see you, and yeah, I usually have the same verbal response to you, too. I really was going to your office to apologize, but you were so fired up, and it was so fucking hot. I nearly lost my mind—and my load—all over again. So, I did what I do best. I took what I needed, and because I felt guilty about it, I left you a little more broken. I know I sometimes wonder what would happen if you sent me away, if you said no. Would I finally man up? Probably not. I am sorry for the way I behave, but I have too much to lose if I let you in. Id’ lose you.

I fucking love you, I swear I do,

Matt

Just over 2 years ago…

“You have to stop this, Matt.”

“Stop what, Gram?” I ask her, taking a sip of my water. She won’t let me have alcohol when we dine together, and right now, that’s probably a good thing.

“Do not act like I am some senile old woman. You seem to delight in hurting Reina, and it cannot continue. You are slowly destroying her every day.”

“I don’t want to do that. I-I…”

“You love her. I know. What I don’t know is why you fight it so hard. I have never seen you happier than you were with her in Chicago all those years ago. And then you ended it, and neither of you has ever been the same.”

“There are reasons I can’t be with her.”

“Stupid reasons.”

“You don’t know that.”

“Don’t I? You seem to forget how far my power reaches. I do, in fact, know everything, and I’ll say it again, you’re being stupid.”

“If you knew, why didn’t you say anything?”

“I was waiting for you to come to me. I have always been here for you Matt, waiting. I was so glad when you formed your bond with Nate and Aiden, but I hoped one day you would realize that I could help you, too. Not with my connections, but as your grandmother.”

“I’m sorry. I was just so ashamed. I still am. What I did, it can’t be undone, even by you.”

“No, it can’t, but you cannot let it overshadow everything else in your life. Reina would never hold it against you. Are you really willing to live the rest of your life without her because you feel guilty over something that happened a decade ago?”

“I can’t tell her.”

“Yet. One day, I know you’ll tell her, and that is enough. For right now, you can hold her and treat her properly. Take her on dates, and romance her.”

“I don’t know much about romance.”

“I think you’ll find that the right person can inspire you to be more romantic than you’d ever imagined you could be.
