Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Shirley swallowed hard, feeling as if a mountain were pressing down on her, rendering her immobile.

But Abner didn't give her a chance to escape, pulling her close to him.

How did he know about Horace?

Shirley's heart raced. Could it mean he had been paying attention to her all along without her knowing?

As soon as she spoke, Abner's hand was on her chin. "Have you guys, you know, done the deed?"

Shirley's eyes widened in disbelief at his forwardness.

A flush spread across her cheeks, her tongue tying in knots.

"Abner, come on, I'm thirty. You don't seriously think I've never been with a man, do you?"
