The One Month Marriage
Judith Stacy
Brandon Sayer Wanted His Wife Back. What Could Be Simpler?Jana would come home, and they could resume their marriage. All he had to do was give her a little guidance–as all wives needed. But Jana was not the naive girl he married, and didn't seem to want his guidance!Jana Sayer Wanted A Divorce. What Could Be Simpler?Brandon's buiness dealings still kept him too busy to be married, let alone be a father to the son he'd never seen. But he insisted Jana try marriage for one month more. And her traitorous heart had her deciding to give the man he'd become one last chance….
“Lovemaking is something entirely different.”
Jana looked up at him then. He lowered his head, but didn’t kiss her. Instead, he touched his cheek to hers, nuzzling her, brushing his lips against her.
His mouth played along the curve of her jaw. “If you’ve forgotten the difference between the two,” Brandon murmured against her ear, “I’ll be happy to demonstrate.”
His lips claimed her neck once more, sending a rush through her. Jana closed her eyes for a moment, then drew in a breath and pushed away.
“No,” she said, wanting to sound forceful but failing miserably.
Brandon didn’t protest, but she saw the wanting in his darkened eyes, his heavy breaths, his flushed cheeks. For an instant Jana wanted to throw herself into his arms once more, have him carry her into her bedroom as he used to do.
But that would only complicate things…!
