Annabelle needed more, but she couldn’t ask Dex for what she really wanted. Not yet. Maybe never. And really, was it possible to get back what they’d had?

Her heart said it was. Her heart said that she’d never stopped loving him, that being in his arms right now, even if it was just for comfort, made her realize how much she still wanted him in her life.

What she really wanted was to rewind the clock and go back five years. She wanted to make a different choice. She wanted to drive up to the church, even if it was all by herself, and walk down that aisle where he was waiting for her.

But what about Charlotte? What if that choice meant she wouldn’t have her daughter?

Annabelle closed her eyes. She knew what she would do—she would make the same choice she’d made the first time. She’d leave Dex and go to Eric if it meant she got her baby girl.

A wave of despair hit her. Despair for her daughter and for the man she still loved. At the same time, a fierce voice blossomed to life inside her.

You know the truth deep down, Annabelle. You’ve just never wanted to admit it. Charlotte is Dex’s daughter. No way could she be Eric’s. Because you never got pregnant again.

She shook that voice away. She didn’t know it was true. She only wanted it to be true. Wanted it so badly that she was trying to rationalize it in her mind. There were a lot of reasons a woman could get pregnant one time only. Just because Eric never managed to make her pregnant again didn’t mean Charlotte wasn’t his.

She couldn’t go there right now, and she couldn’t take Dex there either. It wasn’t fair to him, not when her baby girl was in danger and he needed to have his head on straight in order to get Charlotte back.

She believed him when he said he would. She had to believe him or she would go mad.

Dex ran a hand over her hair, and her skin tingled in response. The hair on the back of her neck stood up in a good way. She liked him touching her. Liked it so much. She’d thought she’d never want a man to touch her again. Eric had only ever touched her for selfish reasons. Yes, he’d raped her the first time—and maybe the next three or four times. But eventually she’d accepted his advances because there was no other choice. Was it still rape if she opened her legs and pretended to get off so he’d get it over with?

She didn’t know and she didn’t have time to obsess about it. That was past. This was now. She turned her face into Dex’s chest and sighed. His shirt was still wet, but she didn’t want to let him go.

Desire began to buzz in her veins again. Her nipples tightened and her body grew languid as syrupy heat sank into her bones.

“You should sleep, Annabelle,” Dex said.
