Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273

Ethan and I dated for months?” I ask

“So I must have slept with him somewhere along that time line, which would explain how I got pregnant. Weren’t we using protection?” I voiced out my thoughts, so lost in them that I forgot that Rowan was next

to me.

He growls, the words coming out through clenched teeth: “Ava, please don’t mention you, another man, and S** in the same sentence. I don’t want even to think about it”

I don’t even want to think of another man’s hands on my b*dy, so I keep quiet. It’s still hard for me to accept that another man has touched and tasted me. It’s hard to accept that I’ve had another man inside

ΠΕ.

Shaking myself from those thoughts, I focus on him and ask the question that I dread the answer to

“What about you? Did you sleep with Emma?”

My heart is painfully pounding as I wait for his answer.

Sharp grey eyes penetrate mine as he replies. “No. I didn’t have S** with her. I didn’t even k*ss her

because it felt so F***ing wrong.

Yet, I F***ed another man. How can he even look at me and Iris?

I’m sorry that I let another man touch me.” I whisper, feeling ashamed of myself,

He gently grabs my jaw and forces me to look at him. Caressing my cheek, he places a soft k*ss at the

corner of my mouth before his grey eyes turn to me again.

“It’s not your fault, and don’t ever F***ing apologize for that. If it wasn’t for your relationship with Ethan,

then Iris wouldn’t be here, and I would never regret that little girl because she owns part of my heart.”

His hardness told me he did want me. Unless his arousal wasn’t because of me.

“You’re testing my F***ing control, Ava.” He sighs. “Fuck yes do I want you, but that will be taking advantage of you.”

Using one arm, he lifts me from his laps and places me on the bed. Then he gets out of bed and starts heading towards the bathroom.

“I don’t understand,” I call after him, making him stop

He doesn’t turn, but he answers. “When I take you, I want you to believe my feelings for you; I want to be the only one you want and think about; I want to be the only one you have in your heart, and I want you to have nothing but love for me. Only then will I take you and claim you as mine.”

With that he walks into the bathroom, leaving me speechless and more confused.

What the hell did he mean by he wants me to have nothing but love in my heart for him? Did something happen that made me hate him? And also, if Ethan was Iris’s dad, where the hell was he?
