    When he pulled up to the curb, he switched the car off. He turned to face her, saying, “Are <i>you </i>sure you don’t need me toe?”


    ir answered truthfully. “No, that will only make matters worse.”


    “Well, to say honest and transparent with you. I’m letting you know I’m driving down there, anyway. There is a property I’m going to be looking at as a weekender. If you need me, call.” Roman shocked her with this. A weekender. Had this been nned before, or was it because they had hooked up? She believed him that he had every intention of looking at a ce. Roman didn’t lie or make up stories.


    “What property?” ir hadn’t even known he wanted a weekender. She wondered if she would know the ce.


    Roman smiled. “My realtor sent the details through. When I know more, I will tell you. I’m just looking.”


    She knew he wasn’t going to tell her anymore. “I shouldn’t need you. My sisters will be there, so I will not be alone.”


    Roman leaned forward, cing his lips on hers. “Promise me.”


    ir’s breath caught in her throat. “I promise.”


    “Good girl.” He said in a guttural growl before taking her mouth.


    Pulling back, he groaned, “We don’t have time for this. You better go before we <b>get </b>seen. Because I’m a hair’s breath from not caring who sees us.”


    Every time he spoke like that, it gave her a secret thrill. That this man wanted her so deeply. “I’ll see you tonight.”


    “Do you want me to pick you up tonight from here?” Roman asked.


    “Yes please. I’ll message you when I’m heading back.” ir promised.


    Roman leaned in to kiss her before saying. “I can’t even say have a great time. The only part I think you will enjoy is being with your sisters.”


    ir pulled back. “I will not let anything happen and my sisters will be there. I don’t want Dan. They can’t change my mind about that. After knowing he cheated, my sisters will support me.”


    She gave him onest quick kiss, smiling she got out of the car. ir walked down the few street numbers until she got to the building that housed Sutton and Keira’s ce. She turned and waved at Roman, still sitting in his car watching her. She entered the building, knowing instinctively that he wouldn’t leave until she was safely inside.


    ir had an extra spring in her step as she went up the stairs to the first floor. There were only two apartments on this floor. ir’s sisters and a married couple in their 40s.


    ir knocked on their door and it opened almost straight away, telling her that her sisters had been waiting for her arrival. “Hey.”


    Then she was pulled into both their arms for a hug. ir breathed them in. This felt like home. The sad thing was the reason they were hugging her was because of Dan, and she honestly didn’t care. She was well shot of him.


    “Sutton, Keira, I promise I’m ok. Yes, Dan is a two–timing scumbag, but at least I found out now.” ir felt guilty that they didn’t know yet about Roman. She should hurt more about Dan, but she didn’t. The intense passion she felt with Roman was ten times better than what she had ever experienced with Dan.

    Keira pulled away first, giving ir a once over as if seeing if she <i>was </i>telling the truth. Sutton then did the same. Her sisters then looked at each other. Sutton said to Keira. “She does look ok.”


    “She is right here and I’m telling you I’m in <i>a </i>good ce.” ir grinned at her sisters.


    Sutton gave her another hug before releasing her. ir touched Sutton’s round belly. She was super excited about the baby. Her older sister put her hand over ir’s. “I’m d. I was really worried.”


    “I’m not as upset as I should be for someone that was about to set a wedding date” ir admitted. Should she have been worried about that? Had her feelings for Dan been so superficial? Or was it she was blinded by the fact it had been her <b>first </b>sexual rtionship? Women put more weight behind their first experience than men did.


    “Are you sure you want to face auntie Viv and uncle Peter now<i>?</i>” Keira asked, “I mean, what have they ever done for us? We owe them nothing.”


    “No, we don’t, but I owe it to talk to Dan’s mother. Pa is going to be very upset.” ir was sad about losing Pa as a mother–inw more than losing Dan as her partner. With that thought, she knew she truly hadn’t loved Dan, and he had just been easy to be with because she had thought she knew him. How wrong she had been. She had honestly thought he wouldn’t cheat on her.


    Sutton gave adylike snort. “Knowing Dan, he has already run home and med you. Do you know who the other woman was?”


    ir didn’t want to answer that question, not yet, but she would not lie to her sisters, looking at the time on her phone. She brought the time to their attention. “Come on, we better get going. We have an hour’s drive and church starts at 9am sharp. Aunt Viv will be pissed if we arete.”
