Chapter 6 That night , Beckett finally came back to sleep in the master bedroom . He tried to curl up with me like he used to , like nothing had changed , but I pulled away the moment he reached for me . Ever since I found out about them , every time he came near me , I felt like I was going to be sick . } I closed my eyes , pretending to sleep . But sleep never came . I lay awake in silence until I heard movement beside me . Then Beckett's low , gentle voice broke the quiet . " Okay , okay … I'll come over now , don't cry . It breaks my heart when you cry . " } I didn't know what Delaney said on the other end , but Beckett jumped out of bed , not caring if he woke me . " Something compelled me to follow him . Maybe it was morbid curiosity . I walked silently behind him and stopped in the doorway of her room . Delaney was lying on the bed , her hair disheveled , her clothes barely clinging to her body . Her cheeks were tear - streaked and her eyes puffy from crying . She looked like the perfect picture of pitiful fragility . Beckett rushed to her like a man possessed and scooped her into his arms . " I couldn't sleep without you ," she whimpered . " Every time I close my eyes , I see the scene of the engagement being broken off . I'm so scared , Beckett . " @ She nestled into him , her cleavage fully exposed , her voice like a helpless child . Beckett's breathing grew heavier , his eyes dark with lust . " You're okay now , " he murmured , voice low and intimate . " I won't go back to my room . I'll sleep here with you from now on , okay ? " } He held her tighter . Delaney looked up at him with trembling lashes . " I know I shouldn't be monopolizing you like this … Evelyn would be upset if she found out . I don't want to cause problems , but the baby … it only calms down when you're near . " } She leaned into him again , delicate and weak and Beckett's eyes welled with emotion . " " Don't worry , " he whispered . " Even if Evelyn finds out , we've done nothing wrong . You need me more . She's strong - she can take care of herself . " E I stood there frozen , listening to them discuss me like I was an afterthought . Then , as if things couldn't get worse , Delaney blushed and lifted her face toward his . " " The doctor said the baby's stable at four months . Beckett , can I give myself to you tonight ? " } Beckett didn't even hesitate . He dove in and kissed her , passionately , hungrily . Within moments , they were tangled together in bed , consumed by each other . I had never seen him like that before - completely unrestrained , utterly lost in another woman . So that was what it looked like when he really loved someone . I turned away , numb and walked barefoot back to the bedroom . I had always known something was going on between them , but seeing it with my own eyes ? That lit a fire in me I didn't even know existed . } He didn't carne back that night . And I never closed my eyes . & . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
