CHAPTER FIFTY

PHOEBE'S POINT OF VIEW

I couldn’t stop staring at my husband, he just has this charm that draws me in.

Adam chuckled, low and warm. He turned off the grill and walked over to me slowly, wiping his hands on a towel. I was still lying on the big outdoor bed, propped up on my elbows, wearing one of his oversized shirts.

He stopped at the edge of the bed and leaned down, caging me with his arms.

“You’re the one walking around in my shirt with nothing underneath,” he murmured, eyes darkening. “And you expect me to behave?”

Heat rushed to my cheeks. I reached up and traced a finger down his bare chest, feeling bold in this new environment.

“Maybe I don’t want you to behave,” I whispered, my voice shy but honest. “Maybe I want my husband to look at me the way you’re looking at me right now.”

Adam’s breath hitched. He lowered himself until our noses brushed.

“Careful, baby,” he said softly against my lips. “You keep talking like that and I might forget how patient I’m trying to be.”

I smiled, heart racing. “Who said I want patience right now?”

He kissed me then deep, slow, and full of hunger. His hand slid under my shirt, resting warmly on my waist, not pushing, just holding. I melted into him, fingers threading through his hair as I kissed him back with everything I had.

When we finally pulled apart, both of us breathing heavier, he rested his forehead against mine.

“I want you,” he whispered. “So much. But only when you’re ready. Not because you feel like you have to. Not because we’re on an island. Only when it feels right for you.”

I nodded, touching his cheek. “I know. And I love you for that. But Adam… I’m starting to want it too. Not just for you. For me. I want to feel you. I want to replace the bad memories with good ones. With us.”

His eyes softened with so much love it made my chest ache.

“Then we’ll take it slow,” he promised. “One touch at a time. One night at a time. Until you feel safe. Until you feel loved in every single way.”

I pulled him down for another kiss, softer this time. Sweet. Full of hope.

We spent the rest of the morning eating breakfast on the beach, feeding each other pieces of grilled seafood, laughing when the juice dripped down our chins. Adam kept stealing kisses between bites. I kept teasing him about how dangerously attractive he looked shirtless.

For the first time in forever, there was no pressure.

Just us, loving ourselves and healing.

After breakfast we decided to go on a tour on the island. Adams' idea.

The island tour was supposed to be relaxing.

We walked side by side with one of the private tour guides, a tall, muscular man named Kai with a smooth smile and eyes that kept drifting to Adam. It was subtle at first because we had a few other people with us, girls and couples. Some girls kept glancing at him too.

Deep down I wanted to just hide my man from them. It's one thing to marry an attractive man, it's another thing to watch the entire world want him.

Kai continued the tour, he pointed out different spots, hidden coves, rare birds, the best snorkeling areas but his gaze always found its way back to my husband.

I tried to control it. I really did. It's one thing for a woman to want your man, and now it's a gay man?

For goodness sake, I didn't even know how to control my anger at this point.
I held Adam’s hand tighter and focused on the beautiful scenery. But every time Kai laughed at something Adam said or “accidentally” brushed against his arm while showing us a plant, something ugly twisted in my stomach.

Adam was just being Adam polite, interested, generous with his attention. That was the problem. He had been so patient with me about sx, about intimacy, always putting my fears first. And now this man was looking at him like he wanted to eat him alive.

It was becoming too much.

Kai stopped near a private waterfall, smiling brightly at Adam. “You have a very strong body, sir. Perfect for swimming here. I can show you the best spots… maybe later, just us.”

The way he said it was low, suggestive and made my blood boil.

I stepped forward before I could stop myself. “He’s not interested.”

Kai raised an eyebrow, still smiling. “No offense, ma’am. Just being friendly.”

“Friendly?” My voice rose. “You’ve been eyeing my husband since we started this tour. Stop it.”

Adam’s hand tightened on mine. “Phoebe…”

But I was already too far gone. The jealousy, the grief, the frustration from everything we’d been through it all came rushing out.

“You think because we’re on an island you can flirt with him right in front of me?” I snapped. “He’s mine. Back off.”

Kai looked shocked. Adam looked stunned. I had never raised my voice like this in front of him before.

“Phoebe, stop,” Adam said firmly, pulling me back. His arm wrapped around my waist like a steel band. “That’s enough.”

I tried to pull away, breathing hard. “He’s been un******ng you with his eyes the whole time!”

Adam’s face was a mixture of surprise and concern. He had never seen me this angry. He turned to Kai quickly. “I think we’ll finish the tour ourselves. Thank you.”

Kai left, muttering something under his breath.

The walk back to our villa was silent and tense. The second the door closed behind us, Adam turned to me.

“What the hell was that?” he asked, voice low but sharp. “You almost got into a fight with the man.”

I spun around, chest heaving. “Because he was all over you! And you just stood there being polite like you always are. Like you’re not allowed to want anything. Like you have to keep being patient with me while the whole world tries to take what’s mine!”

Adam’s eyes widened. “Phoebe….”

“No!” I cut him off, stepping closer. Tears of anger and frustration burned in my eyes. “You’ve been postponing everything for me. Sx. Intimacy. Everything. Because I’m scared. Because I’m broken. And then some random guy looks at you like that and I just… I can’t take it anymore!”

My hands were shaking. I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him down hard, crashing my lips against his in a furious kiss.

Adam froze for half a second, surprised. Then he kissed me back, deep and hungry. I pushed him toward the wall, fingers working furiously on the buttons of his shirt, popping them open one by one.

He groaned against my mouth, hands gripping my hips tightly.

“Phoebe…” he breathed, voice rough.

But I didn’t stop. I kissed him harder, like I could pour all my jealousy, all my fear, all my desire into him.
