She hadn’t wanted to end her marriage, but when things had begun to get worse between her and Dane, she’d finally decided to take her in-laws’ suggestion and get out of their son’s life.Įven after three years of seeing how happy she and Dane were together, they still couldn’t look beyond her past. Hope flared within her although she didn’t want it to. When we married, we became one.ĭane’s words flowed through Sienna’s mind as she stepped into the shower, causing a warm, fuzzy, glowing feeling to seep through her pores. And what I need to know more than anything is whether my love will ever be just enough for you.”

Regain that level of communication we once had. He continued to stroke her chin when he added, “Then what I want is for us to do something we should have done months ago, Sienna. “Go ahead and take a shower before it gets completely dark, and then I’ll take one.” “There’s plenty of hot water still left in the tank,” he said softly, stroking her chin. He gave in briefly to temptation and tipped her chin up, and placed a kiss on her lips. It was hard when he heard her soft sigh, her heated moan. What they needed was to talk, to communicate to try and fix whatever was wrong with their marriage. He wanted to devour her mouth, deepen the kiss and escalate it to a level he needed it to be, but he couldn’t.

He leaned down and brushed a kiss on her cheek, then several. “There wouldn’t have been a choice to make. Evidently she didn’t know just how much he loved her. “I didn’t ever want you to have to choose.”ĭane’s heart ached. Sienna angrily wiped at a tear she couldn’t contain any longer. “And that’s what this is about, isn’t it? Why you filed for a divorce. “And I never wanted to do anything to make you stop loving them.” I know that they aren’t close to being perfect, but I love them.” “Then what should that tell you? They’re my parents.

“You’ve been around people with money before. When she didn’t say anything, he sighed deeply. I’m not proud of the fact that my parents think too highly of themselves and our family name at times, but I’ve constantly told you it didn’t matter. “Wasn’t my love enough, Sienna? I’d told you countless time that you didn’t marry my family, you married me. “But you don’t understand how important it was for your family to accept me, to love me.”ĭane stepped closer, looked into eyes that were fighting to keep tears at bay. She shook her head, tempted to bare her soul but fighting not to. Why would you let it continue to matter to you?” “And you’ve known it didn’t matter one damn iota. His brow furrowed sharply as he moved from the table to join her at the window, coming to stand directly in front of her. “What do you want me to say, Dane? Trust me, you don’t want to get me started since you’ve always known how your family felt about me.” Moments later she turned back around to face Dane, knowing he was waiting on her response.
