wouldn’t. “ Julianna…”
She looped her arms around him and rose on her toes to press a soft kiss on his lips that sparked to life a raging need that keened like a wild thing in his breast. She said softly against his mouth, “Tell me you don’t want me, that you don’t need me. Tell me that you don’t love me and I’ll let you go and I’ll agree to your new terms but be careful what you say if you don’t mean it, because if you push me away…I’m never coming back.”
Don’t do it, Boston …but suddenly, his arms were around her and he was hugging her so tightly, he was afraid of crushing her. “Julianna…” his voice cracked against his will and he shuddered as an emotion so strong threatened to drown him in a sea of longing and impossible want but if he’d been guilty of being selfish before, clinging to Julianna now after what he’d done, would be the epitome of selfishness and he couldn’t do it. But he would take one last kiss and savor it until he died.
Hoisting Julianna into his arms, he savaged her mouth, so needing to feel her tongue against his, pouring everything he felt about her in his truest of hearts into his kiss. With a sweetness that went against every harsh word he’d ever uttered, he made love to her mouth, wishing he had the privilege of taking her to their bed every night, worshipping her body, not because he’d paid her but because she’d willfully graced him with the ownership of her heart and he knew this was the last time she’d offer herself so freely. Oh God, Julianna. I’m so sorry. I fucked up. I love you. I love you. And I love our baby because it’s a magical creation made of you and me and I’ll spend the rest of my life being the best father even if I can’t be who you need me to be . Boston reverently framed her face as he reluctantly slowed their kisses, needing to let her go before he lost the ability to do so. He gently set her down, briefly basking in the beauty of her sleepy, love-drunk expression, knowing he was about to kill it. Take a mental snapshot, Boston, ‘cause it’s never going to be for you again.

Wild hope sang in Julianna’s breast. She knew Boston had feelings for her but he was fighting them for some reason. If only she could break through that wall he was putting up. “We can start over,” she said, voicing her hope. “We started off wrong but we can fix that. Our baby is the start of everything good between us. We can be like a normal couple for once. I know you want me. I know you love me, Boston. Stop pushing me away and we can start fresh, I promise.”
But just as she sensed him wavering, his expression hardened and a cruel smile stretched his mouth as he laughed at her impassioned plea. “We are not going to ride off into the sunset together, sweetheart. The future you’re hoping for doesn’t exist in my world. I’m a man who can have anything he wants and I never hesitate to take what I want. That goes against who you are as a person. We would never work out, little pet. Better to learn that now before things get far more messy.”
She blinked back stinging tears. Boston could turn on a person on a dime, like a viper. Why did she even try? Because you love him . For better or worse, and lately it was definitely for the worse, she fucking loved the bastard. “Stop it,” she demanded, glaring. “You’re doing this on purpose. Just stop being such a damn coward and admit that you love me, too!”
Something flitted across his features, something akin to pain, but it was gone in a flash and she almost thought she’d imagined it as he said, almost casually, “ Darlin’, this is getting tedious. I’d hoped to spare you the pain but the fact of the matter is, I’ve already fucked another woman and I’m ready to move on.”
Julianna sucked in a tight, painful breath as her heart shattered and all she could do was stare in horrified silence. He’d fucked someone else? Already? Jesus-H-Christ! “You
