“Let you have what? I have nothing more to say on the subject.”
“That’s not gonna work. What have you told Amber about him?”
“Seriously, what is it with you? You act like my marriage was an affront to you or something. Every time you talk about him there’s this underlying thing in your voice that I just don’t get.”
I knew she was right, but how could I explain it to her when I didn’t understand it myself? I just knew that the thought of her with someone else made me feel cheated.
“How about we start over? I’ll try to rephrase my question and you’ll give me an honest answer and we’ll go from there.”
“Why do I need to answer anything? This is making me very uncomfortable. I appreciate what you did for my daughter, but I don’t think it gives you the right to pry into my life.”
“I told you not to do that, leave that shit out of it. What you’re implying is sick. Try putting yourself in my position. Wouldn’t you want to know?”
“First, there’s no reason for you to know, it’s not like we’re in a relationship or anything like that. And second, I’m sure you’ve had relationships before, do you tell each new person everything about the last one?”
“That’s different, I never loved any of them enough to marry them and I never trusted anyone enough to have them bear my child.”
“Look, I’m not comfortable talking to you about this.” She tried leaving the room and I blocked her with a hand across the door.
“Do you ever talk about it, or do you prefer to hold onto the memories and live inside your head? Because I gotta tell you, that’s not gonna work for me.”
“I’m still not sure why you think I should care…” I pulled her into my chest and kissed her, this time I held her jaw. “If you bite me I’ll bite you back this time.”
I held her hands together behind her back, pressing her tits into my chest as I ravished her mouth.
When she sopped fighting me I softened the pressure of my lips on hers and teased her with my tongue. She tried keeping me out.
“Open. I said open Giavanna.” I had to tug on her hair to get her to obey me, but once I did I drew her tongue into my mouth and rubbed my chest against hers as I pressed my growing cock between the heat of her thighs.
“Why are you doing this?” I’d released her lips so we could both breathe.
“I told you, I want you. I wanted you since the moment I bumped into you at the coffee shop.”
“The fact that you turned out to be my new architect only convinced me that we were meant to meet, and the more I see you, the more I know there’s something there.”
“My problem is with your past. Are you over it, or are you just going through the motions? The thought of sharing you with even his memory makes me want to kill.”
“Do you know how insane that sounds? Are you saying that I’m supposed to forget the memory of the father of my child?”

I wanted to lash out at her and tell her that he wasn’t her father because she never met him, but even as fucked up as my head was I knew that was a dick move.
“I don’t know okay.” I didn’t tell her that I couldn’t stand the thought of her loving someone else more than me.
That I was insanely jealous of a dead man, a man who was no longer any threat to me. Not physically anyway. But what about mentally, emotionally?
“Look I know it sounds crazy. But your unwillingness to share anything about him only makes it worst. It’s as if you’re holding onto him. Like the two of you have this special bond that no one else can be a part of.”
“How did you come to that conclusion when as you say I don’t even talk about him?” I took her hand and pulled her down the hallway.
“Maybe this was my first clue.” It’s like a living monument.”
“That’s for Amber so she doesn’t forget her dad. I don’t want to confuse her.”
“Are you sure about that? Amber seems pretty open and accepting of me.”
“Don’t let it go to your head, she’s like that with everyone.”
“Have you been with someone else since he died?” I still couldn’t bring myself to call him her husband.
She made a sound and I looked down to see my hand around her neck. I didn’t remember putting it there.
“You want me to have a relationship with you and you’re always manhandling me?”
“I will never hurt you. Not in that way anyway.”
“In what way then?” I squeezed my hand around her throat before releasing her and stepping back.
“There’s a good chance that once I get my cock in you it’s gonna hurt like hell.”
