Chapter 7

EMILY’S POV

As he leans into me slowly, his eyes fill with an internal battle. My hands were cold and trembling as I tried to resist him.

I couldn't let him come back into my life not after everything, not after all this year's away.

I can't let him touch me like I was his, and own my body just like he did when we were married.

I needed to fight against the attraction between us till it got too far and I eventually regretted it.

My head spun as his lips were a few inches from mine, his warm breath fanning my face.

My reflexes instantly kicked in, my body reacting before my brain could even begin to understand what was going on. In one smooth motion, I lifted my leg and kneed him hard right in the balls.

Christian doubled up, grabbing his groin as his face twisted in pain. “What the hell, Emily?” he asked, struggling to catch his breath. “Are you out of your mind?” he growled in annoyance.
