“Of course, not…they want that grandchild…”

“What about you Bella?” he asked as they slid into the back of the car. He told the driver they were going home then slid the partition up to block them from his view. “Do you want to give it a real try?”

“A part of me says no but it’s just because we’ve both been so busy. I don’t want our child to grow up not knowing us.”

“You would never let that happen and neither would I. I know we’ve had some issues making time for each other but that’s over now. I promise Bella.”

“I do too…I just…are you sure this is what you want? This marriage to last?”

“You don’t?” he asked taken aback at the idea that she was unhappy. “Bella…there isn’t any truth to the rumors of you and Quinn are there?”

“How can you even ask that? Jesus Ty…do you really think I’d let you make love to me if I was sleeping around with Quinn?”

“I’m sorry…Bella, I am…why don’t we table the baby idea for a bit longer? If it happens it happens and if not, we’ll worry about it later…”

“Fine,” she sighed. She slid away from him needing some space. How could he think she could cheat on him?

They rode in silence, but she allowed him to slip his arm around her as they hit the sidewalk and the photographers pressed in towards them. She walked to the bedroom and changed out of her dress determined to take a bath to restore her mood. She twisted her hair up and clipped it in place as she filled the tub. She lit the vanilla and lavender candles that sat on the ledge beside the tub and then slid in, letting the warm water ease the tension from her body.

Her eyes were closed when she felt a slight breeze of cool air. She refused to open them while she listened as he walked across the room towards her. He didn’t make a sound, but she knew the moment he was there beside her.

Without opening her eyes, she lifted her hand and found his cheek. She caressed it lightly and sighed when he pressed a kiss onto her wrist.

“Bella, I’m sorry I was being a…”

“Coglione?” she teased opening her eyes.

“Yeah, I just didn’t know what to think when you asked if I didn’t want the marriage to continue. Can you forgive me?”

“Don’t I always Ty?”

“I need to hear it, Bella. I need to know you’re in this with me.”

She sent him another smile and guided his face to hers giving him a light kiss. “I forgive you Ty and if you want to know if I’m in this…why don’t you join me in here and find out.”

He shed his clothes and stepped in behind her pulling her tightly against him as he kissed her neck. Her hands found his thighs and she sank her fingers into the hard muscles. His hands started their own journey over her body and any lingering coolness melted away.

She turned to face him, and her heart stilled. His eyes still showed a pile of guilt, and she knew she’d overreacted.

“Ty,” she whispered leaning forward to kiss him. “I’m not going anywhere.”

“You deserve the moon, Bella.”

“I prefer the stars,” she teased as she sank down onto his hardness.

“That I can give you,” he stated before his mouth crushed hers and their breathing turned into one. He took her to the stars and back twice before they left the bathroom and spent the rest of the day in the bedroom.

Chapter 10

“Ty, it’s starting,” Bella called out to him as she flipped on the TV.

“I still can’t believe you let them come to the shoot, especially that shoot,” he stated putting the takeout on the living room table and joining her on the floor.

“It shut her up about me being anorexic. One look at the food and she laughed the rumors off, though I must say you showing up was pretty terrific. I think she also knows where we stand on that issue too.”

“You’re not upset I stopped in?”

“I asked Paul to remind you of the shoot hoping you’d come and well…” she said with a laugh.
