She starts to clench, her body in the throes of coming, the spasms starting.
I claim her mouth then, and she explodes, shuddering, gasping, kissing me back, and unleashing my own pleasure.
I break the kiss, finally leaning into her against the wall, and then I let her down.
I need to say something, anything. Like how this could be the start of a new beginning.
"Lola—"
"This changes nothing." She drops her gaze as we part, her feet hitting the floor.
I tuck myself away. "Like hell."
"Nothing's changed, Enzo. I haven't forgiven you."
I nod, taking a chance. "Yet."
"Excuse me?" Her eyes lift to mine.
"Yet. Sure, you're still angry, but this..." I kiss her slow, soft, romantic, and she trembles. "This proves to me you'll cave and come to your senses."
"Get out."
I take a step back. "Come to your senses, and we'll be back to where we were."
And then I turn and leave.
"Where's that, exactly? A nothing relationship built on lies?"
Her words follow me through the door.
And they haunt.
I lean against the wall outside the suite.
Because no, I don't mean that. I mean her and me, and...I don't know.
A chance?

You'd thinkthe decision to keep the baby would make it easier to spend further days locked in the suite. There's no rush to see the doctor to have this taken care of.
But I do still need to go to a doctor. I need to make sure all is okay with me and the baby.
Besides, being cooped up, even with work, is enough to drive me crazy.
I'm so bored that when I finish the data entry, I go onto the workspace connected to the computer he gave me to work from.
It's not the full workspace, and I can't access his emails, as even his work ones would probably take me a long time to hack, and I've got a feeling if I did, I'd somehow hit a hidden tripwire and bring everything down.
But I can see some of the company structure, and I start playing around with ideas to make it more efficient.
It's better than sitting and waiting for him to appear so we can play sex games.
It's better than me trying not to think about the anger and lust-infused sex we had against the wall.
