Chapter Six

"You're quiet," Colin observed, glancing her way as they stopped at a traffic light.

A work emergency required Colin to drop by his office even though it was close to midnight, and when he had asked her to come with him, she hadn't hesitated to say yes. As for the reason she was quiet...

Last night's memories were still mortifyingly fresh in her mind, and it didn't help at all that Colin insisted on having her sit on his lap as soon as they slid into the backseat of his car.

"Can I just, um, scoot over—"

"No."

"I think I'm too heavy—"

"You're not."

Feeling his hard thighs under her were a distraction. But when she started to squirm, and she felt something under her also start to throb—

Her husband's eyes gleamed. "Everything alright?"

Hope could only croak out her answer. "Yes." No.

"You don't look comfortable."

"I'm not," she admitted helplessly.

"Good."

She choked at this, but her husband was unaffected. Colin Soukoulis, billionaire and bully extraordinaire. Whoever would have thought?

He cupped her chin, and she immediately turned her gaze to his, having now recognized this as his silent command to look at him.

Sex, Hope had come to realize after spending just one night in her husband's arms, was not simply satisfying each other's desires. Sex illuminated. It was why she was now more aware of the little nuances in her husband's character. Sex also revealed. And sometimes, these were things that one didn't even know about one's self, like how one night alone would make her addicted to her husband's touch. But most worryingly of all, sex had the power to destroy barriers, even if these were walls that were meant to protect one's self from hurt.

"I can feel you worrying, Hope." Colin's voice was difficult to read, and this bothered her more than she was willing to admit. "Do you have any regrets?"

She shook her head. "You?"

"Only one."

Her heart threatened to crack.

"And it's the amount of time we wasted. I should have made you mine from the start."

Her husband was really a bully!

She made a face, he smirked, and the tension disappeared between them. He gripped her hair, his gaze darkening with desire. "May I?"

"You don't have to keep asking for permission," she said shakily. "I'm yours, always—"

The rest of her words was left unspoken, and all she could do was melt against his arms as Colin started kissing her with hunger that only seemed to grow moment by moment.

Twenty minutes later, they pulled into an underground parking garage beneath a gleaming glass-and-steel building in downtown Denver, and Colin reluctantly lifted his head. He watched in amusement as his wife flew into a panic when she realized they had already reached Greenbright's headquarters.

She scrambled off his lap as she frantically combed her hair through her fingers. He took pity on her and caught her wrist. "Leave it be. The office will likely be empty at this time. And even if there were—I'd like them to see you this way."

"Messy?"

"Owned."

Color burst in her cheeks. Well, then. That made it official: Colin Soukoulis was awfully good at making her feel giddy like a teenage girl.
