“So, tell me the truth.”
She tries to lower her chin but I hold my grip in her hair firm.
“The club. I still don’t want it. It brings up too many memories of my dad. I’m kinda glad it burned down. But, I also need the money to pay off the damn debts and keep my company running.”
I scrunch my brows.
“No. You don’t. You’re my wife. Money isn’t a problem for us. In fact…”
I pull out our original contract and the divorce packet from my pocket, releasing her hair. She looks at me with confusion, that damn pout of hers turning me on.
“Our original deal is meaningless now. You have half an empire, this marriage is a real marriage. I don’t want it to end. We build your company together. We do whatever the hell we want with the building, together. There is no stipulation we have to run it as it was.”
My brain trails off with what could be one of the best ideas I’ve ever had.
“What if we close it as a club and make it into a full workshop for you? We can build off a secret play area that’s just for us. Whatever we want to explore, perhaps for date nights?”
“You’d really lose a club for me?”
I nod. No question.
“I like the idea of a playroom.” I smirk at her and watch the crimson spreads up her neck. It makes me wrap my fingers around her throat and pull her lips to mine. “A place where I can steal you away, spank that perfect ass, and make you scream my name over and over? That sounds like the ideal workplace. Just for us.”
Placing the contracts on her lap, I pull away and search her eyes, filled with love.
“Tear it up,” I demand.
“You’re sure? You really don’t want the divorce?” Her voice shakes.
“Do I seem like a man who doesn’t know what he wants?” I tip my head to the side.
“No. Not at all,” she chuckles, picking up the paper.
Her dark eyes don’t leave mine as she tears right down the center of the pages, the ripping filling the air.
The end of our beginning and making way for something much better. A real marriage, no deal, no club.
Just love.
“Good girl.”
Picking up the torn papers from her lap, I look down at the fractured words. I never want to see this again in my life. Taking out the lighter from my inside pocket, I flick it and let the flame catch the corner of the first half and toss it in the fire pit beside me, repeating the process with the other half.
I turn to Nadia, who is watching me with amusement.
“Really want that gone don’t you? You must really love me.” She licks her lip and I grab her cheeks.
“You have no idea. It’s more than a want, it’s an all consuming fire within me.”
Her soft hand strokes my jaw.
“I like that.”
“Well, I love you.”
Pushing myself back, I do what I intended to do when I stepped through the door.
I sink down onto one knee and retrieve the brand new sparkling diamond ring from my jacket and open up the box for her.
