“Why does that sound like another man has been in your face?” I smirked. “I have a better question. Why are you surprised?” “Stop fucking with me,” Denver growled, fisting the front of my blouse to drag me up against him.

I’m not gonna fucking chase you like we’re kids, Kensa. Grow the fuck up. I didn’t even want to be chased. But the fact that he’d reduced the actual issue to that, and then declared it beneath him… well… life was too short.

It was then that I noticed a large envelope–the kind that might hold divorce paperwork–sitting right on my nightstand. Torn in half. Ugh.

Me? I wasn’t even a little surprised when Denver pulled the gun from the waistband of his exquisitely tailored, bespoke suit. Jeremy had no time to react to the sight of it before it was already under his chin.

“What the fuck is this, Kensa? You’re trying to get somebody killed now? That motherfucker in your face–that’s who you were talking about last night?” “You’re the one holding a gun.”

“You know what… fine. You want games, fuck it,” he growled. I couldn’t see him, but I knew he was snatching up his blazer and the gun. “But don’t be surprised when you don’t like my rules.”

“Wow. You really are a fuck-up.” My whole face pulled into a frown as I dropped my gaze back to him. “The fuck?” “Your wife has been begging your ass for weeks to give her some face time, but you’ve got your ass in here acting confused about divorce papers. Yo–you’re deadass with this? Like… for real, nigga?”

Kensa just wants to be heard, and taken care of. Whatever that means for her. I know you love that woman, right?” Standing to meet him, I scoffed. “That shit ain’t even in question.”

“I said ’til death do us part, and I meant that shit. I’m not interested in running away just because it’s getting a little grimy instead of the picture perfect, squeaky clean existence you’re looking for. We haven’t even tried to muddle through it, and yet you’re in my face talking about we’re done. Ain’t no done, Kensa!” he asserted, with a harsh growl in his tone. “You are my wife, and nothing about that has changed. Whatever shit we gotta deal with, buckle up sweetheart and let’s do it. But what’s not about to happen is you walking away from me like those vows didn’t mean shit.”

“Turn around.” I did. And I followed his other directions too–“put your hands right there, put your foot up here, don’t you dare hold back a single fucking sound.” I did, I did, and I didn’t. I couldn’t.

“I love you,” he whispered against my lips, as if I hadn’t heard him any of the other times. Maybe… maybe I hadn’t. Because I… met his gaze, and whispered something back–words I hadn’t spoken in months. “I love you, too.”

I hadn’t gotten much out of Kensa since we arrived, but I’d at least been able to gather that. As much as she swore she was done, she wasn’t actually done–she just wanted to be.

“Yeah,” I laughed. “Like my family, and like Nessa’s. You want to know what her pussy tastes like though, so… you probably shouldn’t say stuff like that. That’s nasty, bro.”
