Chapter 12

ALEXANDRA blew out a long breath. Wilkes wouldn’t take no for an answer. He never could. Interlocking his fingers with hers, he kept nodding toward the empty floor like an eager cocker spaniel. Those glasses and that side part in his hair didn’t help one bit.

“C’mon. Let’s be spontaneous. You used to want that. Remember?”

He had a point, although it was around two and a half months late. She used to want him to be spontaneous, back when she used to want him. Now she wanted Bash and no one else. Alexandra groaned, reluctant to move, but Wilkes grabbed both her hands and gently pulled her out of her chair. No one from the almost empty corner they were in bothered to turn their heads. She ducked her head in embarrassment, but there was also a part of her that kind of enjoyed being here, in a place where no one seemed to care who she was.

“This is new.” A smile teased her lips as Wilkes kept pulling her into the wide open space. The song the pianist was playing had a romantic canter that invited the sway of hips, although she was not indulging in that. Not with her ex.

Wilkes slid a hand to her waist and guided one of hers around his neck, keeping a foot of space between them.

Okay this is harmless.

He moved her around for a few minutes until he got more and more comfortable—comfortable enough to try to press her body right up against his. That was her cue to spin away, coming back to his arms with a pair of locked elbows that ensured he would keep at a safe distance. He got the point, and did not try anything else.

Without so much as a word of announcement, he picked up where they left off talking at the table. “You said I did something with no regard for how it would make you feel, and I know you want to know why.”

“You don’t have to explain.”

“I know. I was wrong, Lex. I should have been a man…” Wilkes trailed off.

Her lips straightened to a hard line. Eva had warned her not to fall prey to Wilkes. Oddly enough, neither Eva nor Wilkes nor even Alexandra herself knew exactly how deeply Wilkes’ affair had affected her.

“Actually, I don’t want to know why, Wilkes,” she said softly. “There isn’t a reason you can give me that can justify what you did. We do need to accept some truths, Wilkes. So maybe you’re right. Since we’re being all open and honest, you need to know this.”

“I’m ready. Tell me.”

“Just know that I’m not saying this to hurt you.”

He looked down into her eyes. “I know that too,” he said with more honesty and authenticity she had seen in him.

She took a breath. “The truth is I was never in love with you, but I loved you deeply. I accepted that people like us don’t all get the luxury of falling in love. Too many things muddy the waters.
