She wanted to stay like this forever, naked and lying by the man she was completely absorbed with. There was nowhere else in the world that even seemed even remotely safe for them, but this room was theirs and no one was going to take that away from them right now. She wrapped her arms around him and he held her as well, pulling her close and making sure she knew that he wanted her.

“Okay,” he whispered to her with a smile on his lips. “I’ll keep quiet about this until you decide that you’re ready to make your move, but the moment you’re gone, I’m going to break off things with Violet. I don’t want any more of my life wasted with her. I want you and only you, Lucy.”

“I want that too,” she said to him softly. “We just have to make it a little longer and then we’re going to get everything we ever wanted. I promise you, James. We’re going to have the life we want.”

She would have a child and he would have a marriage that was cold, cruel, and loveless. It was going to be a living hell if they failed.
