She wanted to convince him to get real treatment instead of hiding from it.
But his kisses grew more intense, stealing her breath, swallowing her words.
Logic screamed at her that he wasn’t in a clear state. That she should stop him.
But emotion… emotion made her want to wrap her arms around him and never let go.
I had booked a red-eye flight for tomorrow night.
Once the divorce is finalized and I finish my final performance, I would leave this city behind.
He’d stay in the capital.
I’d vanish into the south.
We’d never meet again.
The pain of letting go-and the overwhelming love she still had for him-made it impossible to keep pushing him away.
She couldn’t help herself
She wrapped her arms around him gently, allowing his fiery kiss to consume her completely.
There was something about his scent-clean, cool, familiar.
Whenever she was in his arms, it felt like she was bathing in sunlight-warm, safe, and whole.
But after tomorrow morning, after that piece of paper was signed, the sun will vanish from my life. The warmth would slip further and further away.
So tonight, she let herself feel it all-one last time.
“James…”
It’s not enough.
Just kissing her like this wasn’t nearly enough.
The storm of longing and loss raging inside him drowned out everything else. He knew it was wrong. Knew it was crossing a line.
But his hands wouldn’t listen.
Especially the thought of Jackson doing the same-kissing her, touching her, owning her-it made James burn with a blinding jealousy that felt like it could rip him apart.
He gripped her waist tighter and tumbled with her onto the nearby couch.
Watching her chest rise and fall in fast, shaky breaths only made his need worse.
He wanted to ruin every inch of her sweetness.
He even had a selfish, shameful thought-
What if I destroy her and Jackson’s relationship?
So what if she loved Jackson?
So what if she only wanted to be with Jackson?
She is my wife. My legal wife.
If I want her to stay, I’ll make her stay.
“Lily, can you…”
Break up with Jackson?
His lips were on her again, rough and urgent, stealing her breath.
His voice trembled, thick with heat and desperation.
“James, let go of me… I… I need to-“
She never finished her sentence.
Suddenly, she shoved him away with all her strength and whipped her head to the side, gagging over the trash can in dry, painful heaves.
James’s face went as dark as stone.
No…
Did I just make her puke again?
She finds kissing me that disgusting?
But Lily didn’t think James was disgusting.
She hadn’t thrown up because of him.
Lily had already been feeling nauscous lately. First, he pinned her against the wall, then suddenly pushed her onto the couch-so much movement, no wonder her stomach flipped.
Honestly, I’m a little bummed.
I had wanted to hold him one last time before we said goodbye. Maybe even shamelessly soak in his warmth a little longer.
But my body was being ridiculous and completely ruined the moment.
I can’t exactly hug him while throwing up, right?
At first, it was just dry heaving. But soon after, she actually started throwing up.
Seeing how she’d messed up his trash can, Lily felt incredibly embarrassed. She opened her mouth to apologize, only to find herself retching even harder.
By the time it seemed like she might start coughing up bile, James’s face had gone completely grim.
To be honest, my pride took a hit. Every time I kissed her, she threw up like this.
But I understood it.
If someone who wasn’t Lily-or Leila-tried to kiss me out of nowhere, I’d probably throw up too.
Still, the pain didn’t stop-those sharp little stabs of heartbreak just kept sinking deeper into his chest.
Even so, watching her suffer like that, he couldn’t just sit there. He stepped forward, face still dark, and gently rubbed her back to help her breathe.
“Lily, how are you feeling now?”
“James…”
She wanted to say she was sorry-not just for the trash can, but also for getting part of the floor dirty.
But her stomach churned harder, and she couldn’t even get a full sentence out.
All she could do was clutch the trash can and continue vomiting like her world was spinning.
She had considered running to the bathroom. She didn’t want to gross him out.
But when that sick feeling hit, it was just too much. She was afraid she wouldn’t make it in time and would end up puking all over the floor. The trash can was the closest option.
And on top of that, her whole body went weak when she threw up. Her stomach cramped painfully. There was no way she could walk, let alone run.
Even though she didn’t say a word, James felt like he understood.
She probably didn’t want me touching her anymore.
She thinks I’m disgusting. Just being near me makes her want to throw up even more.
He clenched his jaw, his expression stiff, and sat down at a distance-cold-faced, withdrawn
After emptying her stomach completely, Lily finally stopped.
Looking at the trash can she’d dirtied-and the small mess on the floor-she flushed with embarrassmem.
“I’m sorry. I’ll clean this up.”
“No need.”
James still felt like something was crushing his chest. up with tears made his heart twist. There was no way he’d actually let her clean
