'Please... please don't come back,' she prayed silently. 'I hope Alex never walks through that door again.'
Lily didn't know that Marcus knew. She thought her secret was safe.
She thought Marcus had no idea that Alex was pounding her right there in their house while he was away! She felt so guilty, but also... scared.
Because just thinking about Alex... just remembering his rough hands and his handsome, smug face... made her body feel things that she wasn't liking! It made her stomach do flip-flops.
It made her thighs clench together. It made her feel a wet heat between her legs that she didn't want to feel! She wanted to be a good wife, but her body was betraying her!
On the other side of the room, Marcus was thinking the exact opposite.
He was polishing a can of beans, but his mind was dark. He knew. Oh, he knew everything. He knew Alex had pounded his wife. He knew Alex wants to claim her.
