Unrepentant Cowboy
Page 21
There for a moment, he’d thought that she’d finally come to terms with their loss. To look at Joshua’s disappearance, if not rationally, then at least with less debilitating emotion. She’d finally conquered the frantic desperation that had made her think every toddler she saw was her child.
But now he wasn’t so sure. She was a woman even before she was a mother, so maybe she’d done what women did. She’d used sex to get what she’d wanted. If she’d never done it before, maybe it was for the simple reason that in all the years they’d been together she’d never needed to.
So she’d seduced him and, of course, as soon as she beckoned, he’d followed her like a puppy starved for attention. What a stupid jerk he was.
