during sex he was perfect. She loved every second of
being with him. From the moment he finished, another man took his place.

questions. If he was determined to stay in her life then she had a right to
know his reasons for everything.

Chapter

    “Why did you push me away every time after we had
sex?” Vicki asked. Tristan cursed and moved closer to her. Her hands were
filled with shards of the mug Zoe had broken. Zoe had told him about the
alcohol Vicki had been consuming lately. He didn’t like it and intended to put
a stop to it.
    Vicki wasn’t going to get rid of him. She wanted him
and his love, and now she would get all of him.
    “I pushed you away because I didn’t want to hurt
you. I figured I could give your body what you needed but not let your heart
get involved.”
    Tears were filling her eyes. He saw the dampness of
them and cursed again. Why did he have to be the person to hurt her? He hated
it. For once he wanted to see happiness on her face and he be the cause.
    “Your plan failed. All you ever did was hurt me and
make me feel like shit.” She wiped at her eyes. “Fuck! Why am I always crying around
you? I hate being like this with you. It’s not fair. I shouldn’t be feeling
this way.”
    He took her hand even when she pushed him away.
Tristan held onto her hand. “I never expected to be right about everything. I
thought what I was doing was for the best. I saw how much I was hurting you,
but you kept coming back.”
    And Vicki did. The harder he pushed the more she
seemed to be around. He turned one way and she turned another, and they always
ended up together.
    Pulling her in close, Tristan stroked her cheek. Her
darker blonde locks fell down her face in waves. “I swear to you, Vicki, I’m
going to do everything in my power to protect and look after you. You’ll want
for nothing. All I ask from you is you give me time to prove it to you. I
promise I can be the man you need.”
    “It sounds to me like you’re begging,” she said.
    “I am begging. I don’t beg for anything, but I’m
begging you. Give me a chance.”
    Tristan saw she was close to giving in. Running his
fingers down her stomach he stroked her delicate flesh. “When I heard you’d
lost the baby I went home and cried.” When he’d found out about the baby and
the missed opportunity he’d cried for a long time. There wasn’t a day gone by
when he didn’t think about what their baby could have meant for them. “I’ve
always wanted to be a father, Vicki.”
    “Please, stop.”
    “No.” He tilted her face up with a finger under her
chin to gain her attention. “I’m not going to stop. Being married was the
biggest mistake of my life. Kate means nothing to me. You mean the world to
me.”
    Leaning in close, he brushed her lips with his own.
“I’m going to spend the rest of my life proving to you how important you are to
me.”
    Letting her go, Tristan walked over to the far
cabinet above the sink. He moved some of the cleaning products out of the way
and grabbed the bottle of whisky. Opening the cap he poured the expensive
liquor down the sink.
    “What are you doing?” she asked.
    “You don’t think I see the vicious circle you’ve got
yourself locked inside? One drink will lead to two.” He placed the bottle in
the recycle trash can then went to the fridge. Taking out the bottle of red liquor
Zoe had told him about, he emptied that one down the sink.
    While Vicki had been shouting from the kitchen her
friend had voiced her concerns to him. His woman wasn’t going to be an
alcoholic, not on his shift. He’d do everything to stop her from slipping down
that spiral.
    Vicki was going to get his undivided attention.
    “And two drinks will lead to three. I remember a
time when you didn’t even have beer in this house. You saw what alcohol did to
your customers at the bar. I’m not letting you fall down, Vicki. We both lost a
baby, and I accept your
