“I know. I was wrong.”
“Don’t you see how fucked up this is? We deceived each other. How can we possibly have a trusting relationship?”
“Let’s sit down and talk unless you want to continue this conversation in the water.”
“I can’t trust myself with you.”
Austin grinned wickedly. “I like the sound of that.”
I struggled. “Asshole. Let me go,” I hissed.
“Only if you promise to sit down with me so we can talk.”
“Fine. Let me go.”
He did and pushed me toward the steps. As I ascended them, I heard him gasp and curse under his breath.
“Dammit, I love that bikini.”
I realized Austin had a perfect view from below of my naked bottom since my bikini was a thong.
“Fuck you. Stop looking,” I growled.
“Is that an invitation? Because you’re making me hard.”
“Austin, be serious.”
He followed, stepping onto the deck behind me. I sat down on one chaise while he took the one opposite me.
“I fucking love you so much, Sammy. I need you in my life. I’ve made mistakes, but so have you.”
“You said you were moving on. That everything in Los Angeles was good.”
“It wasn’t. It was horrible, and I desperately missed you. I thought I could move on. I was so angry when I found out about the baby.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you.”
“It wasn’t just that you didn’t tell me. It was because I know how painful it must have been to go through losing little almond without support.”
I smiled at his usage of my pet name for our baby. “It was very painful, and you hating me made it worse.”
“I never hated you. I made the wrong choice. Jessie was the one who wasn’t for me. You’re the only woman I’ve ever had in my life who fully understood me.”
“You were angry I would be in New York. It would’ve only been for a few months.”
“Why did you leave Spotlight?”
“Because of you. I couldn’t be in the same place you were. It was easier, living three thousand miles away.”
“Even though you hate New York and the cold weather?”
“I don’t hate New York. It’s growing on me. I could get used to living there.”
“Are you planning to stay?”
“Yes. I have friends in the city. You met them.”
He snorted. “Three men. I bet they all want to get in your panties.”
