Trust Me

<p>He won't marry me and I'm done waiting.</p><p> </p><p>I knew my tough-as-nails military man Adam Taylor would eventually break my heart. And now he has.</p><p> </p><p>For thirteen years I've patiently waited for my high school crush turned soulmate to start a family with me. But there always seems to be just one more mission between us finally moving away from this army base. </p><p>He promised me that his career in the military wouldn't be forever but here we are.</p><p>Stuck.</p><p>Living together only half of the time when he is home between assignments.</p><p> </p><p>My biological clock is ticking so loudly I'm surprised he doesn't hear it. He assures me he wants a family too but those are empty words. When he takes action it's always his job first me second.</p><p> </p><p>It'll be my birthday while he is away and I refuse to turn thirty and risk becoming a widow before I was even a wife.</p><p> </p><p>So when he shows up at the door the night before he has to deploy with whiskey on his lips and with an apology in his sapphire eyes I let him into our house…and our bed.</p><p> </p><p>Am I an idiot to believe he will ever quit the army and choose me over defusing bombs?</p><p> </p>
