Lovemaking

CHAPTER 35.

*Jake’s Pov*

I was laying in bed with Liza sleeping in my arms when I got a Mindlink from my baby Maddy.

All I heard was her say “Jake” and by the sound of her voice something raw clicked in me and I knew that for the first time, “Maddy actually needed me.”

Ive known Madd since we were kids and not once has she ever needed me and it always bothered me. It rubbed me the wrong way, you know. “I mean, what man wants to know is that his woman is strong enough without him.” It made me feel small and, in a lot of ways, unwanted.

I’ve never had it in me to confess how I truly felt to Maddy, but I will say that me not manning up to her about the way it really affected me.

Fuck!

Me not dealing with it made me into a monster! “Ive hurt so many innocent people.”

All because I couldn’t deal with the love of my life not needing me because she’s strong all on her own…. “until now.”

Something just told me that for whatever reason, everything would be changing after tonight. I kissed Liza
