CHRISSY

Something was on her man’s mind.

It had been for weeks. Ever since Kevin’s meeting with Maddy. Their enemy had revealed information about both of them. And Chrissy supposed it was only fair, after what she and Maddy had done to Kevin. But still.

Kevin’s revelation had been an earthquake sending a fissure down Maddy’s and Chrissy’s relationships with their men.

This was the same reason Jerrell was now so upset. Sheldon was older, calmer, and had handled it better.

She knew what troubled her soon-to-be-husband.

They entered the shower. He brought the chair inside that he’d bought her, and she rolled her eyes.

“Shel, I’m fine.”

It didn’t matter. His stare alone compelled her to take the safety seat. He had insisted on her using it because of Genie claiming she fell from a chair in pregnancy during their marriage. Even though it turned out that wasn’t really what happened, Sheldon still used an abundance of caution.

He lathered Chrissy with soap, rubbing, cleaning and massaging her back, breasts and belly.

Occasionally, their gazes intersected, and he subliminally asked what she knew he’d been wanting to know. Ever since Jerrell informed Sheldon of what Kevin had told Maddy and Jerrell.

But dutifully, here Sheldon stood, bathing her and protecting her and her children.

Blake’s lawyer had contacted hers earlier that day to report that Blake was standing down. There was no doubt in her mind that this was a result of some play Sheldon had made.

She gripped her man’s wrist, stopping him.

She owed him the truth. Even if it meant he would cancel the wedding and their pending marriage.

Shel’s eyes wandered to hers.

“Go ahead. Ask me.” Her lips quaked while she murmured it.

“Did you do it?”

Chrissy felt the earthquake cracking from him to her. But without blinking, keeping her eyeball focused on his.

Chriselle answered, “Yes.”

Sheldon sputtered. A cataclysmic event rocked his chest.

Hurting him, watching him break down, even for a moment, opened a massive rupture inside Chrissy.

She was an accessory to Blake’s crimes.

“I asked Lyrical not to go to the police. I told her I would handle him. I didn’t know what Little Blake would do seeing his f-father taken away. Or how we would pay for all our properties if he was in jail. I would never ask my parents to shoulder that.”

Mashing his fingers into his eyes, Shel seemed to be searching for his resolve. He brought himself to face her again. “Is sh…is she the only one? Are there a-any others?”

Chrissy shook her head. Weak now, and ashamed, she lost sweat from more than sitting in hot water.

Shel’s gaze spun down the drain with the pools of water.

His pain reverberated through Chrissy. She wanted only to go back and relive her entire life, just to be pure and unblemished for Sheldon Rouse.

But Sheldon must’ve lifted his entire existence, until his eyes met hers again. And he brought her forehead to his. The fierceness in his kiss titillated and terrified her. A firm hand gripped the back of her head. Chrissy squeezed his shoulders, trying not to dig in her nails, but needing him to know how her soul now dragged the floor with shame.
