A Revengeless Life

Untitled Part 21

*Emily's POV*

I opened the door and froze. Because I saw Charlotte and Jack on the bar. Having sex. 

My husband was cheating on me. With my sister. He looked up and his playful smile vanished. I could tell the weight of the situation was crashing down on him, and I saw him pale. 

 I turned and ran out to my car. I heard him yelling after me, but I started the car and pulled out of the parking stall anyway. I didn't want to be anywhere near him. I saw him run out in just his unbuttoned jeans, but I drove away anyway. I didn't know where I was driving to, but all I knew was that I couldn't get far enough away from him. 

Tears were streaming down my face as I pulled up to Grayson manor. I shut my car off and ran to the pool house, where Daniel was living. I knocked on the door, and he answered almost immediately. 

The first thing I did was throw myself at him and kiss him. I was careful to avoid his nose, but he grunted when my body hit his chest. When I came up for air, he pushed me off of him. 

"What is this, Emily?" He asked, sounding almost angry with me. 

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"You told me that kiss meant nothing to you," he said. 

"I was trying to convince myself," I whispered quietly. 

"And you shoved me off of you right before Jack punched me in the face," he said. 

"Because there were cameras there. I wasn't about to let you ruin my marriage in front of the press," I said. 

"So why are you all of a sudden willing to ruin your marrige," Daniel asked. 

"Because Jack already is," I said bitterly. 

"What?" 

"Jack and Charlotte were having sex on the bar when I walked in. Not at the bar. Literally on top of it," I said, cringing as the memory came back to me. 

"So you came here? Why?" Daniel asked. 

"Because I still love you. And I just...I need you right now," I said. 

"Then say no more," Daniel said, smiling. I nearly threw myself at him, pushing him against a wall. After kissing for a few minutes like that, he turned so that my back was against the wall. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and my legs around his waist and he carried me back to his bedroom. I nearly tore his shirt off, and he pulled mine over my head. I rubbed my hands over his toned chest and abs, while he unclasped my bra and unbuttoned my jeans. I kicked off my heels and pulled off his pajama pants and underwear. 

"Daniel, I'm sorry for everything," I said. 

"Hey. I'm the one that shot you the last time we were married, remember?" He said, smiling and then went back to kissing me. 

"Yeah, but I tried to ruin your whole family. I think I win," I said.

"And I still love you. You could probably murder Charlotte and I would still love you," he said. 

"I wouldn't murder Charlotte," I said. 

"Wasn't she having sex with Jack?" Daniel asked. 

"I might murder Charlotte," I said, smiling as he kissed my stomach. 

When we were done, I lay there in Daniel's arms. I half expected Jack to bust in the door any minute. Knowing the way that his mind worked, here would be the first place he would look. Maybe after my dad's beach house. 

When he didn't, I was a little disappointed. Maybe he really didn't care about me. But that was fine. Because I had Daniel.
