The moment that Neal attempted to possess my body, it took everything in me not to give in to that desire. I had to be strong, and I had to say no. Not only had I just had a baby not too long ago, and was I still healing, but I also wasn’t interested in being sated with sex so that he didn’t have to explain what was going on.
I wanted answers, and Neal was going to have to learn boundaries.
Placing my hands on his chest, I pushed him away from me, his lips popping as they left mine, a look of confusion on his face as he stared down into my eyes.
Yes, I felt absolutely ridiculous doing this, because God knows how much I would have loved to have him cherish my body right now, but it just wasn't possible.
I had to be the logical thinker and not let him side-track me.
