“I’ve been holding you in my arms for months as we go through this. I’ve seen and felt your pain. Not only would I never share that with another woman, but I would also never cheat on you. I’d take my own life before I could ever,” I say.
She swallows hard and blinks a few times, looking down into her lap with a confused expression. I release my hair from its bun to run my hand through it, wanting to tug it from my scalp. This is the last thing I thought she would say this morning.
“Then how does she know?” she whispers.
“Fuck if I know. Babe, where is this coming from?”
I sit back down on the bed and pull her into my arms, kissing her forehead. I relax a little as she comes to me and settles into my arms. I can fix this. I can get us back to us.
She takes a deep breath. “Yesterday, she walked up on me and started talking about how I need to give you some space. We would have another baby once you’re able to focus on music and not trying to have a baby. How does she know our business, Bishop? Why was she talking to me like you’ve been pillow talking with her?
“What made her bold enough to think any of that was her place to do? She needs to go. That shit made me so uncomfortable in my own home.”
“Wait, what? Baby, look at me.”
She looks into my eyes. I cup her face and kiss her soft lips. I’m trying so hard to keep my shit together. This is why I didn’t want to do another album.
The music has been there, but I know the drama that the business brings. We’ve been in such a good place. I blame this all on me. I’ve invited this shit into our lives.
“I love you in ways that shouldn’t be possible. My love for you runs so deep I breathe it. I don’t know what’s going on or how she knows, but I swear she didn’t find out from my lips.
“What we say to each other is always between us. I’m going to get to the bottom of this and she’s gone one way or the other. I don’t need anyone trying to come between us. Especially not now. Why didn’t you come to me?”
She draws in a deep breath and swipes at her tears. I go to thumb the rest away for her. Even with a tear-soaked face she’s the most gorgeous woman in the world to me.
“I was so angry with you, and there were so many people here for you to record. I needed to clear my head before we spoke, so I went to see Rem. I … I didn’t believe you would do something like that, but it didn’t make sense. How could she know without you telling her?” she sobs.
“Shh, baby, I’ll take care of it.”
I kiss her lips, leaning in until she falls onto her back. I need to make love to my wife. After yesterday, I need to reassure myself we’re okay. I need to feel that connection between us.
Dragging the covers down, I push up my T-shirt I put on her last night and run my hand up her smooth thigh. I watch her body’s reaction to my touch. How could I not love this woman?
There’s a buzz coming off her skin, running through my palm and up my arm. Saga makes me feel alive. There is no other woman in the world for me.
“Hear my words, baby. I have never and will never betray you.” I cup her face. “I never did anything to hurt you, baby. I don’t have it in me to be able to. I love you so much, Saga.”
“I love you too.”
She reaches for the hem of my shirt and pulls it up over my head. I shove my sweats down my hips and climb fully onto the bed with her. Taking my time, I kiss my way down her neck to her breasts.
Goosebumps rise on her skin as she shivers. I pull the sheets back up to cover her and pull her closer to my body heat. I then climb underneath the sheet with her and pull her thigh over my hip.
Sliding my hand around to her ass, I grasp it and squeeze as I plunge my tongue into her mouth. I continue to feast on her—her neck, breasts, her stomach—I taste every inch I can get my mouth on as I make the trip down her body. Lifting her leg over my shoulder, I keep her on her side facing me as I begin to devour her pussy.
Placing a hand right above her ass, I guide her hips to rock against my face. I show her with my mouth that she’s the only one and I’d never share her secrets. She laces her fingers in my hair and tugs as I drink from her body, clawing my fingers over her silky thigh.
