1. Bane of my existence.

Rowan

Fuck!! watch as Ava flees from the shop. I want to follow her, but I know that I’ve messed up big

time.

I saw the panic in her eyes, but it was like I was in a trance. My mind shut down completely when

I saw her almost naked body.

I didn’t realize that I had moved or that I had cornered her. It wasn’t until she pushed me away

that I realized what I was about to do.

She was my wife for fucks sake, but she has never affected me on this level. I’ve seen her naked

moving her panties to the side and sinking inside her warm heat.

I hadn’t even seen her whole body yet I was fucking hard. Harder than I’ve ever been my entire

fucking life. The whole thing just confused me and scared the crap out of me.

Cursing again, I leave the room. The need to escape filling my bones. I was not only trying to

escape the memories, but also the need that had taken every inch of my body. 1
