Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

ALEX

"No!"

Athena twists and turns.

I'm fucking tired, but I had work to do.

Being on Rayen's camping trip meant days off the grid, no meetings, no calls and no fires to put out, which only meant more load piling up the second I stepped back into the office.

I have no regrets though. I'd do this anyday. Hell, I'd even stay a year if Athena asked me to.

I had asked Ryan to make sure the room we got was spacious enough to fit a working table. Most of our hotels don't have them because the whole point is for our clients to relax. That way, they get to notice every service we offer.

They spend more money that way.

Simple business Mathematics.

I sat on the desk with my laptop open, a dozen unread emails staring at me, and yet, my brain refused to cooperate.

Every time I tried to concentrate, images of her kept bleeding through.

Beautiful long black hair.

Thick thighs and curves to end any man.

Cute kissable lips that drive me fucking insane.

Sometimes, I don't blame Noah and Zayan. Athena is a type of woman who can bring anyone to their knees without even trying.

Not that I approve my cousin hitting on my woman. I'm highly possessive and that isn't going to stop now. If anything, it has increased ten fold.

I thought I wasn't a jealous man, but fuck! Have I been proven wrong. Everytime she told me to get the hell out while she laughed with another man, I felt like I was taking my last breath.

It's a shock I'm still alive.

I refused the room service to touch the roses. She wanted them clean, I was

going to do it. But I didn't throw them away, I had placed them in a huge basket so she can look at them.

Tomorrow morning when they wither, I'll replace them. I'll do this everyday for the rest of our lives.

In future, I might not bring 5,674 roses all at once, but I'll make sure she has a flower waiting for her when she wakes up.

After we took a shower and ate, she finally stopped fighting me and agreed to the situation.
