A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 253

RAINA

My thighs had never been this sore. Alex was an animal last night. I smiled at the memory. It was ironic because he was still gentle with me. He scared off easy because of the baby but thankfully he grew out of that fear.

He had his arm draped over my belly protectively. I turned my head to the side to face him. His lips were shut, his lips parted in a soft snore. They were a tad bit swollen and red from how hard I bit into them. I just could get enough of him.

My thumbs grazed them over, it must have been painful. I grimaced at the thought of hurting him just for my pleasure.

Maybe I was the animal here.

He stirred but didn't wake. I thought about staying longer in bed with him but I had things to do. While everyone wanted to protect me, it was my responsibility to protect them as well. And I had thought long and hard for this. I would take Nathan down if it was the last thing I did.

What I was about to do was something we should have done sooner had they not insisted on getting more evidence. Trying to do that proved chaotic because the bastard got away with too much. But not anymore. Never again.

I slid out of bed and drew the covers over Alex before grabbing my phone to make a call.

Two things were at war in my mind. What if this backfired? And what if I didn’t do anything but it turned out to be the very thing that could save us all?

“They'll hate me for sure but I need to do this. I have to try…” I said to myself. But only to convince myself that this was the right thing to do.

I headed for the bathroom and scrolled through my contacts before finding his name.

Detective Carter.

I dialed the number and placed the phone over my ear and waited.
