Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn - Season 3 Episode 20

I was about to say something when my doll bell rung.

“Someone’s at my door, Letty. I have to go”

I felt so tired and drained. Both emotionally and physically.

“Okay. We’ll talk tomorrow. I know it has been a tiring day for you”

We both say our goodnights and hang up. I consider ignoring the person on the door. Like I said, I was

tired. I didn’t want to see anyone.

I slowly rise up and go open the door.

“Rowan, what are you doing here?” I ask in surprise.

I am s

surprised to see him. If I am being honest, I was expecting him to be by Emma’s side, comforting

her. I’m shocked that he is here instead.

“Can I come in?” he asks instead of answering.

Something must be wrong with me because I step aside and let him in. He gives me a small smile as he

enters my house.

“Is Noah asleep?” he asks while taking off his coat.

“Probably, though he’s not here. Today he’ll be sleeping over at Calvin’s”

I see anger flash in his eyes at his name. For a moment I think he’s going to start a fight over Cal, but he literally forces himself to calm down. I almost clap for him at his show of control.

“Fuck. It’s crazy how today turned out.” He pauses. “How are you holding up?”

I know and I’ve seen some massive changes in him recently, but today it’s just sort of hitting me hard.

Before he wouldn’t have cared. In fact he would have lashed out at me for hurting Emma. Could it

honestly be possible that he has changed?

I shake my head to push away those thoughts. I’m being absurd. He had nine years to change yet he never

did. It’s not possible for him to have a change of heart all of a sudden. E

I’m good I say, then take a while to consider what I just said. “Scratch that, I’m definitely not okay, I feel

like I’ve been scraped raw

He wells closer to me and pulls me in his arms. I feel his b*dy heat. I feel him entirely. He is hard in every

I should be pushing him away, but for some reason I am not. My mind was completely empty and numb from exhaustion. If I had been thinking clearly, I would have told him to leave.

“What can I do to ease your pain? I know this must be hard for you and not just because it concerns

Gunner

My heart skips a bit. I’m shocked that he understands that not all of what I am feeling right now. because of Gunner, but also because of my own pain.

I look at his feet, but he cups my cheek and makes me look at him.

“I don’t know, Rowan” I whisper.

He caresses my cheek softly. His fingers skimming over my cheek and neck. He then pushes a lock of my

hair behind my ear.

His

grey eyes clash with mine. He stares at me in a way that I used to dream about. He stares at me like

he wants. Like I am his world, which is impossible, right?

“I know of one way to distract you” he starts. “If I bend and take those pretty pink l*ps, will you let me?” he

ask, as my heart begins to race. 1

I just stare at him.

Tell him no‘ I whisper to myself.

Say no, Ava. Push him away

I know I should, but I can’t think straight and my mouth won’t move to form the damn words.

His head descends as if in slow motion. Finally, his firm and soft l*ps touch mine.

Something must really be wrong with me because I slowly open my mouth and let him sl*p his tongue in. I close my eyes at the fiery emotions that take over.

I feel him in every fiber as our mouths mold and our tongues dance together. My legs weaken and I almost collapse to the floor, but his arm around my waist hold me up.
