Forgotten Desires (Whitlock Family, #4)

by Corinne Michaels

“So you want to divorce me to date me after?” Crew smirks. “It makes sense in my head.” I roll my eyes. “I’m glad it does somewhere because that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” He steps closer and I gasp as he pulls me against him. My head doesn’t even reach his shoulders. So damn embarrassing. “I thought about you, us . . . marriage, for so long and I hate that this is how it happened. If I could go back, I would’ve found you years ago, begged for your forgiveness, worked every fucking day to prove that I was worthy of you, not stolen you like this.” “You didn’t steal me,” I say, my heart beating frantically. “No?” he asks, pulling my left hand up between us. “I didn’t win you, Bee. I didn’t do or say all the things I should’ve. I married you so that my custody case wasn’t blown. I married you so that you’d have insurance and the means to save your father. We married for other people and while all of it makes sense, I’m having a really hard time remembering it. Because when I look at you, in this house, on that couch where we slept, all I can think about is what a fucking asshole I am to have taken something else from you. So, yeah, I stole you, and now, I plan to try to earn you.”
