Chapter Forty Nine

ISABELLA

“You know, she is right.” I said to Thane, I knew he was considering staying in another room; that wouldn’t be ideal, and I wasn’t suggesting this only because I wanted to be in the same room with him.

I settled on the bed in my nightgown, and maybe I had gone a little overboard with picking something sexy, but Thane didn’t even seem to notice, and a part of me felt slightly… disappointed.

I still believed this could work; Thane loved us both, and he could have us both. I wouldn’t mind the time he spent with Riley as long as he was going to be with me too. It might seem pathetic, but I had already come to terms with the fact that she would always be a part of his life.

She helped him recover from the state I left him in, and for that I was grateful.

I watched Thane settle on the couch.

“What are you doing?” I questioned.

“Taking a nap,” he responded as if that wasn’t clear.

“You don’t have to sleep on the couch; join me on the bed.”

“The fact that we share a room doesn’t mean a damn thing; that doesn’t make us partners, and I don’t think sharing a bed is necessary, right?”
