Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Charlotte took a deep breath and shook her head.

She didn't know if she was his wife, or their child's mother, or just... lovers.

Shane planted his feet on the ground and bent down again to kiss her again. His mouth was cold, and the gash on the inside of her lips felt a little numb. Charlotte's body went rigid, her hands gripped his sleeve uneasily.

He deepened the kiss, and at the same time his fingers crept into her clothes.

Heat consumed her body and Charlotte pleaded in a breathy voice, "Not here."

Shane's hold slackened, the emotions still evident in his eyes. "Does it really not hurt?"

She shook her head. "Yes."

"Do you have an answer now?"

"You act as if I'm unimportant, as if our relationship doesn't matter. I was just a little confused, so I said those words to Zoe." She couldn't live without him. She felt at peace when she was with him.

If he wasn't by her side, or if she couldn't get in touch with him, she would feel uneasy and agitated.

But as long as he was here, it would be fine even if they had nothing to do with each other.

Shane was silent, his fingers gently stroking her lips. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

"I'm not nervous. I'm just..."

At this moment, Cole barged through the door and panted heavily. He didn't even apologize. "Mr. Fuller, there's someone here to see you."

Shane loosened his hold on Charlotte and turned to look at Cole. "It had better be someone important."

"It's Heidi."

The office went silent.

Shane's pupils constricted. She had died in his arms. He knew better than anyone that she did not exist anymore.

Charlotte felt his heart pounding erratically, but he quickly regained control of himself and calmed down.

She gently tugged at his clothes and urged, "Go check it out."

Shane glanced at her in silent warning.

She didn't know why those words provoked him.
