He owed it to Yasmin, he told himself. If he couldn’t or wouldn’t take that chance, then he had no business being married to her at all. And right now, her openness, her honesty, deserved a response. He pushed himself upright and gathered her in his arms, pulling her body to his and offering her comfort. Too little too late, he realized, as he chose his words carefully. But he had to start somewhere.

“You’re being too hard on yourself. From what you’ve told me, it’s clear you were never to blame. Not for any of it.”

She shook her head and he put his hands on either side of her face, tilting it up to look her in the eye.

“Trust me, Yasmin. I know what I’m talking about. You put your faith in the wrong people, that’s all. What came next was out of your control.”

Tears shone in her eyes and a spear of guilt shafted through him. He hated that this strong, proud woman was still so wounded by that night. Somehow, he had to make it right. Had to restore her to her full strength and heal the pain her experience had left behind.

“You’re not to blame,” he said emphatically.

Her lower lip trembled and one tear formed a silvery trail down her cheek. He’d never been able to cope with a woman’s tears and seeing his proud wife crumble like this was absolutely his undoing. He captured her lips with his and tried to imbue that kiss with all of his admiration for her. For her courage, for her talent as a pilot, for her determination to put the past behind her and to stride forward with the life she’d chosen. When they broke apart he stared straight into her eyes. Her pupils were dilated with the desire that burned like an eternal flame between them.

“You’re not to blame,” he repeated.

He made love to her then. Slowly, intensely. Taking his time to explore her body, to discover every hidden pleasure point, to learn and imprint her in his mind, to make her understand just how much he admired her, how much he wanted her. He renewed his fascination with the silky texture of her skin, the essential flavor of her. And when he entered her he felt a stronger connection to her than before. A connection that thrilled and terrified him in equal proportions. When they reached the pinnacle of satisfaction, they did so together, tumbling into the abyss of pleasure and satiation with a joy that took his breath away.

She dozed in the aftermath, securely nestled against him. But Ilya couldn’t rest. His mind twisted and churned over the facts. Over his involvement. She deserved to know it all. She blamed herself for everything but his judgment had also been lacking—after all, hadn’t he believed himself in love with Jen? Believed her when she’d said things had gotten out of control when what happened had been part of her plan for Yasmin all along? He should have known better.
