Chapter 79

• She stared at him, confusion running through her head. They were so comfortable together, so drawn together. And yet, they couldn’t give each other what the other needed. Maybe she was being selfish, but she knew she wouldn’t be satisfied with just bits and pieces of him. Scraps he’d throw her way when he deigned to.
