“No,” I straightened up and smiled at the attendant with mock politeness. “My wife and I are just here to see what She’s a bit shy. I put my arm around Anna’s shoulders and guided her inside. “Get a few girls to join my wife for drinks.”
The attendant gave me a knowing smile, “1 understand, Mr. Wright.”
I was blindsided when Anna suddenly spoke up, “Not your staff Get girls who are here partying. They won’t turn down the perks!”
Her words stunned me. Was she seriously trying to help me find women, or worked – I was furious.

1 quickened my pace, almost dragging her into a private room. As soon as the door closed, I pinned her against it and kissed her hard.
“How considerate of you,” I said sarcastically, my voice filled with pain and anger.
In the strange lighting. I could see the shock and resistance on her face.
She tried to push me away, but I grabbed her hands. I kissed her forcefully until she was almost breathless.
“You want me doing this with someone else?” My eyes burned, voice raw.
I gripped her face, challenging her: “I’ll kiss other women exactly like this. That doesn’t bother

you talking about?” she shot back with a bitter laugh
“We do have somewhere to go back to,” I murmured against her ear, tralling kisses down her neck. “Back to when we first returned to Boston after our honeymoon. I’ll pretend I never knew about your plotting, and none of this would have happened. Clean slate.”
