throbbing pressure between my thighs, the way I always
have when checking out my man. He was just so, so perfect it made
my heart twist. I stood in the doorway just taking him in as he
moved with grace from the stove to the fridge and back
again.
     
     
     
    I felt her the moment she came into
the room, I knew why she was just standing there saying nothing;
probably expecting me to lose my fucking mind again. Without
turning from the omelet I was making I lifted my left arm. "Come."
She hurried across the room to my side, her little body fitting
into my side as I lowered my arm around her. Kissing her hair I
gave her a soft squeeze.
    "How'd you sleep baby girl?" She
seemed too choked up to speak so my answer was just a tight squeeze
around my waist. "Up." She lifted her head and I took her mouth
tongue and all, it was a kiss of rebirth I guess. Nothing to do
with sex though I'd like nothing better than to hustle her sweet
ass back to bed and stay there for the rest of the day. I had a lot
of build up to work off after all, but later. Right now I needed to
reconnect with her, to repair that bond that had been
damaged.
    I still won't share my suspicions
with her right now so I didn't say anything about why I'd had this
sudden turn around but I could at least show her.
    "Go set the table baby breakfast is
almost ready." She stood on her toes her eyes wary and hopeful at
the same time as she held her lips up for my kiss. I pecked her
teasingly the way I used to, my hand going to her ass for a
squeeze. I felt the tension leave her as she turned away to get
plates and cutlery. When she headed for the coffee pot I waylaid
her.
    "Ah ah ah ah, down." I showed her
the little teapot I had steeping tea for her, at least I knew that
much.
    "No coffee babe I made you tea." She
pouted prettily at me but did as she was told after pouring me a
cup of coffee and bringing it to me. She hesitated after putting
the cup down and I braced myself for it. If she'd treated me the
way I had her and then got up one day acting like nothing happened
I'd be all in her ass. She had every right to feel the way she did,
to be angry; if someone had really drugged her then she'd been
doubly abused. First by them and then by her husband not trusting
her. Fuck.
    "I missed you Dominic."
    Shit, even worse: no recriminations,
no screaming, just a softly spoken admission. I plated the omelet
and turned off the stove before turning to her.
    "Come 'ere." I folded her into my
arms inhaling her warm scent, strawberries and cream with a heavy
dose of just Maddy.
    "I missed you too baby
girl."
    "Don't leave me again
okay?"
    "Never." I rocked her in my arms, my
chin resting atop her head as my heart finally settled into place
for the first time in a long time.

 
     
Chapter 10
     
     
    For the next few days I was on pins
and needles as I waited for Garrett to get back to me with the
results. I never discussed my suspicions with Madelyn instead we
worked on patching our lives back together to some semblance of
what it used to be. In some ways it seemed even better now than it
had been, we were closer somehow and I'd always thought we couldn't
get any closer than we were. I guess one of the reasons for that
was the baby we were both very excited about him or her. I'd
already started on a crib out in my workshop, which she oohed and
aahed over when I showed it to her.
    I didn't go too far from her those
first few days and she couldn't stand to have me out of her sight.
We were like two shell-shocked victims of trauma and the
dissolution of our union very well might've been traumatic for us
both. Whenever I thought that someone had purposely set out to harm
her, to tear us apart I wanted to go into battle, it was hell
keeping a tight rein on my emotions. We spent a lot of time
fucking, it’s as though we were trying to fit all the missed sex
into each day as it came. As soon as she was over her morning
sickness in the morning it was on. Like now!
