NORMANI

In the weakest of moment which was like a split second, I had the strongest sudden urge to kiss Byron. It was so strong I had to curl my toes as I watched him carry the sleeping kids into Ricardo's house. I was feeling very lonely and the intensity of his gaze did nothing to sooth my longing for him. My God. I had missed him and I hated that realization more than anything. Having him so close to me was slowly killing me.

As soon as he got into his car, I ran into the house, colliding with Ricardo's strong chest. He hugged me, holding me tightly against him. The feel of his broad chest got to me. There and then I decided to do what I said I wouldn't do again. When we broke apart, he stared at me,

"How was your day? Did the kids have fun? Did that jerk find out?"
