2. "I signed the papers."
3. "What?"
4. "Yes. It's done. I emailed them to my attorney this morning."
5. "Why didn't you tell me?"
6. This is earth-shattering news and she's mentioning it in casual conversation like's no big deal.
7. "I..I didn't want to interrupt our fun last night!"
8. I remembered in vivid detail our steamy encounter.
9. "Besides, everything you said, the way you laid yourself bare, your complete faith and trust in me..."
10. "That was exactly what I needed."
11. "And if you'd known I'd signed the papers before you told me all that..."
12. "It wouldn't have had the same impact."
13. I see what she means. I'd basically agreed to have blind faith in her to do the right thing, and it turns out, she already had.
14. My heart swells with happiness.
15. When I ask about the terms of the divorce, she doesn't hold anything back.
16. She tells me that her net worth was divided exactly in half.
17. And as happy as I am about her divorce being finalised.
18. I hate the idea that her now ex-wife is receiving something from her.
19. She'd already stripped her of her trust in women and soured her home with her memories.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. My heart is heavy for her, and I work to convince her that her time and donations are still more than generous.
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. I can tell she's realising there's new direction to her life.
2. Turning over a new leaf, and all that.
3. She's been through so much, and despite her strength and demeanor, I know it's been tough for her.
4. I want to comfort her, to hold her.
5. The urge to crawl into her lap is too strong to ignore and so I do.
6. "Jiyeon?"
7. "Just hold me."
8. Her eyes swing over to mine and she gives me a small smile.
9. "Come here."
10. Kir wraps me in her arms and holds me tight, her scent enveloping me in warmth.
11. I can tell that whatever comes next for us is going to be big.
12. We may have started this journey together..
13. ...thinking it'd be something fleeting and sexual..
14. But the intensity of our relationship and depth of feelings are way too strong to ignore.
15. "What did you do today?"
1. "Besides wait for my woman to get home?"
2. "Your woman?"
3. "My woman."
4. My voice is sure and steady.
5. She is mine, and I won't be scared off by her admissions about her past.
1. "I went for a jog, showered, and then spent the afternoon moving my things from the guest room back into your room."
2. "Good."
3. She continues stroking my hair and it feels lovely.
4. "It got me thinking though."
5. "About?"
6. She nuzzles into my neck, inhaling my scent...
7. And treating me to a tender kiss on that sensitive spot just behind my ear.
8. She's trying to distract me...
9. And it almost works
10. But I know I need to have this conversation with her before things go any farther...
11. "You shared that room with mina didn't you?"
12. Sensing the direction I'm going, kir takes my hand in hers.
13. "I had the entire room redone when she left."
14. "The furniture, the mattress, the linens are all new."
15. "Did amanda pick them?"
16. I wonder out loud, remembering her comment about redecorating the pool house.
17. "No. She showed me a design website and I picked everything I wanted, and then had her order it on my credit card."
18. "Does that help?"
19. "Yes, it does."
20. "I think I would have felt strange being intimate in the same bed you shared with your wife.."
21. "Ex-wife."
1. "And I promise you..."
2. "....?"
1. "THAT NOW..."
2. "MINA IS GOING TO BE THE FURTHEST THING FROM OUR MINDS..."
