Just as soon it ended, I started trembling. It was not fear but disgust at myself for giving in so easily. He did that to me. Aaron always did this to me. We could be talking, fighting, discussing some important thing and the next instant I was mesmerized by his chin or chiseled jawline or his broad shoulders. Something always made me want to tear off clothes and forget about what we were actually doing. He never had objections of course and after Jim's birth, this was the first time we actually lost ourselves in each other so easily and so promptly. I realized suddenly that he was right when he said our relationship wasn't the same. Sex wasn't the same, the pillow talks were not the same and it was all because after Jim's birth, nothing appeared more important than him getting the complete attention of his mom. Somewhere on my way to become the perfect mother, I lost the status of the perfect wife.

But Aaron was no different. Instead of voicing the issues, he kept quiet and found his own relief somewhere else. I closed my eyes when realization sank in. June. I completely forgot to talk about June. Aaron was awake, I knew. He was probably having the same thoughts.

Why did we do this? We complicated our relationship more by bringing sex in midst of a divorce. Well, I did that.  Aaron still thought we are divorced. I opened my eyes to search for my clothes. My blue bra was across the room, panties at the edge of the king bed and dress lying on the tiled floor.
I snached my panties and wore it as fast I could. Next came the bra which was far and I couldn't, just couldn't, go across the room to grab it. Even if I just rolled around naked with my soon to be ex-husband on this giant bed, the idea of standing and going the short distance to get my bra brought a dark crimson blush on my cheeks. Aaron probably sensed my sudden not-so-calm mind and said, "Any problem?"

"No" I snapped thinking of nothing but him and his secretary doing the deed in the same bed and that thought gave me enough guts to get out of the bed as fast as I could. I bent to take my dress and wore it without the bra. Aaron just stared and didn't comment. 

"I am going. Take back your properties and money and every fucked up penny you gave me. I do not need your money"

With that said,  I turned to go only to find my wrist seized in a light grip by my not so faithful husband.

"There is a problem" he murmured and turned me in his direction. I took in his naked state and rolled my eyes, "I can't talk with you when you are like this"

"Like what?" he asked, a light frown coming between his eyebrows.

Oh and it only made me want to kiss that little line of concern. I glared instead.

"You are naked"

His blue eyes turned a shade darker and he coolly informed me, "It never bothered you before"

"I was your wife then and you were not a cheating" I poked his chest "unfaithful" another poke "husband."

The frown came back and he said, "May I know when I was unfaithful to you?"

I poked his chest harder "Do not lie to me"

He grabbed hold of my hands and used both of his hands to bring me closer to his chest.

"Let's get these little weapons out of the way and then we can talk"

"I don't want to talk" I shouted at him.

His sharp white teeth bit his lip and he pondered for a few seconds before backing, with me still in his arms, towards the bed.

"We are not having sex again"

"I think you deserve some rest, Cara but we need to talk"

Calling me his darling was so not going to work. 

"You know pretty well what I am talking about"

He looked absolutely confused "I don't. Will you please help me?" Saying that, he sat on the bed with me on his lap.

"I am talking about June" I said and felt the anger and tears coming at the same time.

"June? What about June?"

I glared daggers at him and hissed, "Do not fucking lie to me. I know about your affair with June"

"Affair? With my own secretary?" he asked "Do you think I will have an affair with my own staff?"

"I was your staff" I told him.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around me, "You are different. It took me maximum twenty seconds to fall head over in heels in love with you"

I couldn't believe him but his eyes were speaking for him. He kept his arms wrapped tightly around me while he continued speaking, "June was never in our story. She could never come because I was never interested in anyone but you. After the misunderstanding about Jim, the only thing I wanted to do was find the person I thought you were involved with. I never had time or intention of starting an affair."

I was trembling again, with anger and sadness. "You are lying. You wouldn't have asked for a divorce if.."

He interrupted before I could continue, "I asked for a divorce? You were the one who threw the divorce word at me. Remember the party?"

I punched his shoulder and yelled, "See, you are lying again. You messaged me on our anniversary that you didn't think our marriage was working. I quote what you said, "I am ending this."

He looked confused, almost angry himself, "I wrote that and sent that to you?"

"No I am making that up because I have nothing better to do" I mocked him.

"Savannah, cara, it would not help if you do not disclose the complete details"

"You wrote that. Okay? You wrote another message where you indicated that you didn't like me anymore because I was not the same anymore, because you liked someone else"

He was puzzled, "But you know me, I never would use those words. I will never talk to you in that way and which 'someone else' are we talking about?"

I crossed my arms on my chest and looked at anything but him, already feeling the tears coming out of eyes and wetting my cheeks. 

I wiped them off but they just won't stop. Aaron finally took some mercy on me and hugged me to him.

"shh.. Baby.  There has been some major misunderstanding and we are going to clear that out"

"You even had her... her... her voice in your callertune" I said and started crying on his shoulders.

He cupped my chin and kissed my cheeks and nose before briefly but hardly taking my lips in a kiss. 

"I would never ever do that to you and I guess this 'her' is June"

I nodded trembling in his arms. He kissed my forehead before lifting me up and placing me on the bed. Next, he started dressing in a white fresh shirt, black underwear, pants and a wool and cotton blend black coat. 

He was putting on his socks when I asked, "Did you never sleep outside marriage?"

He looked directly in my eyes, "Never Savannah. I would never do something like that to you"

He called a number and asked the person to come to his office as fast as possible. I knew instantly who was on the other line.

"You are to stay here..."

"So that you can talk to your mistress without any trouble?" I fired.

In three long steps, he was in front of me and cupping my cheeks again.

"I don't think I deserve such distrust Cara"

"Then why can I not be there with you?" I interrupted whatever he was going to say.

"Because you can hear everything from here as well. I want you to listen to her, see her when I ask her the same questions but I do not want her to see you"

"Why can she... " he silenced me by taking my lips in another hard and heated kiss.

"All questions after the show"
