Seducing Her Beast by Sam Crescent Read Free Book Online

asked.
    “Seduce me, court me. Do everything you wanted
to do in the beginning but were too impatient to wait for,” she said.
    “And when do you want them back?”
Wayne
glanced down at the
rings. His shoulders were slumped. She hated seeing him like this, but she knew
it was the only way to get what they both wanted.
    ****
    Wayne
didn’t like seeing her finger empty. He
regretted leaving her the moment he’d woken up after getting completely blind
drunk with the whisky in his apartment suite. She was smiling at him, which
gave him hope that he’d not completely destroyed their future.
    “I love you, Lily.”
    “I know.”
    He reached for her wrapping his arms around
her. Her supple body moulded against his so perfectly.
Wayne
didn’t want to let her go.
    “I was an idiot.”
    “I know, and now you get to make it up to me.
We get to have the seduction a bit backwards.” She pulled away to look at him.
In all of his forty-four years, he’d never doubted a single decision. His
instincts were always right, and he rarely got anything wrong. This doubt he’d
felt over Lily and their marriage had been wrong.
    He couldn’t get over how quickly he’d almost
lost her.
    “I could have killed John tonight,” he said.
    “Why? He’s our friend.”
    “No one else puts their hands on you. You’re
mine.” He stroked her cheek. “I don’t know what I’d have done if I lost you.”
    “Maybe, you need to stop going with your gut
when you think of me and start thinking with this.” She tapped his heart. “You
can’t lose me,
Wayne
.
I’d never have gone with John. He knows that. I know he cares about me, but
love will never be on the cards.”
    She leaned up and kissed him. “I look forward
to your seduction.”
    “Aren’t you a little worried?” he asked.
    Lily shook her head. “I’m a little excited
about our future. You’re not leaving, are you?” she asked.  
    Wayne
shook his head. “This is going to be one
strange courtship.”
    “The kids have missed you,” she said, turning
her back to him. He watched her open the oven to grab the saucepan of bubbling
tomato and eggs.
    He loved this dish. It was the meal she always
made when they were alone together.
Wayne
went to grab some of the semi-stale bread to dip into the bubbling yolks. Lily
made it to perfection. They sat at the dining room table.
Wayne
pulled her into his lap, took a chunk
of bread and dipped it into the oozing egg. He fed it to Lily watching her eat.
Wayne
got so
much enjoyment out of her pleasure for food. He loved to eat with her. There
was something intimate about being seated together closely and eating or
feeding each other. Lily dipped some of her bread then turned to feed him. He
took the bread staring into her eyes as he did.
    It wasn’t the most romantic or elegant food,
but to him in that moment it was perfect. He cupped her waist as he dipped
bread into the pan. It reminded him of all the times they’d stayed up together. Or when her father took the children, giving them some time
alone.
Wayne
had paid for a nanny, but Lily didn’t like the thought of a stranger taking
care of her children. Their close friends and her father were fine.
    Wayne
wouldn’t argue with her as long as he got her
at the end of the day. He stroked her waist while they finished their egg and
tomatoes. The food was delicious.
    His mind was racing with all the thoughts of
seduction. For too long he’d been wanting their
beginning to be better. Now was his chance to give her the start in their
relationship that she deserved.
    “That was delicious,” he said.
    “Thank you.”
    “I’m taking you to bed. I’m not going to do
anything. I need to hold you.”
    “I’d like that.”
    She took him by the hand, and together they
walked up to their bedroom.
Wayne
gazed at the bed and saw she hadn’t slept in their bed.
    “I slept in with Layla .
I couldn’t bear to be in this bed without you.”
    “I’m so sorry.” He captured her lips with
