find my place in your world. I wanted to be understood. Enzo just knew how to take care of me. He had the right words, the right way to do things...”
    Bruce said nothing but he brought his fist to his mouth. He was biting his knuckles and Jennifer figured he was trying to control himself. It wasn’t easy for him to hear to her story and she stopped.
    “So what happened exactly?” Bruce said after a while. “You melted in his arms and you had the best night of your life?”
    “We didn’t sleep together.”
    “Bullshit...”
    “I swear. I stopped it. I couldn’t. We almost crossed the line and things got a bit out of control, but in the end, we didn’t have sex.”
    “Nothing happened then...”
    “Just... foreplays... I’m sorry, Bruce. I hate myself for telling you all this. I regret it so much, you have no idea. I don’t want to lose you because of this stupid mistake.”
    Bruce looked at her and narrowed his eyes. He was examining her face and thinking what to say. Jennifer felt her heart race. It could the end of their story or a new beginning and she was dying to know.
    “I’m not happy about it, as you can guess,” he finally said. “I feel humiliated and betrayed.”
    “My God, Bruce I’m so sorry. I truly regret it. I would do anything to erase the past.”
    “I’ve considered my options. I’ve spent days and nights thinking about you, about us.”
    “And?”
    “I’m not going to forget easily but I can’t hold a grudge against you forever. I know from experience that it’s only going to make me feel worse. I appreciate your honesty. You made a tough decision and I respect that. You also made a mistake and God knows I’ve made lots of mistakes in my life too... So... I’ve decided to forgive you.”
    Jennifer exhaled a loud sigh of relief and broke into tears.
    “Thank you. Thank you so much, baby. I’ll never hurt you again.”
    “Like I said, I won’t forget easily. I’m willing to let go and forgive, because otherwise we’ll live in hell... But I’ll be honest too; it’s going to be very hard for me to trust you again...”
    “I know. I completely understand. I’ll do anything to deserve your trust, you have my word.”
    Bruce was acting cold and distant, but she knew that it was because he was struggling deep inside. His feelings had been hurt and he was trying to recover as best as he could. Jennifer wasn’t the first woman in his life to cheat on him and he was probably fighting to remain in control.
    “I’ll do anything so we can be together again,” she said, reaching for his hand. “I promise there won’t be any secrets. I’ll never hide anything from you and I will never do anything to hurt you. I can’t lose you, Bruce. I love you too much...”
    He finally turned to her and opened his arms, inviting her to hug him.
    “Come here,” he said.
    Jennifer jumped in his arms and felt the warmth of his chest against her face. She heard his heart beat; it was beating like a drum. She knew he still loved her and she swore she would do anything to keep their love alive.
    He caressed her hair and she felt that he had been waiting for this moment as well. She looked up and took his lips in her mouth. She gave him a hard and passionate kiss, and thanked God she had a second chance.
    “Come on,” he said after their long kiss. “Let’s hang around...”

Chapter Four
    B ruce took Jennifer’s hand and they walked along the beach. The French Riviera was truly beautiful. She could tell it was a luxurious area but at the same time, it wasn’t too much and the atmosphere was relaxed. There were obviously a lot of people who were there to show off, many of them Russians apparently, but Jennifer didn’t pay attention.
    It felt good to be abroad. It was the first time she was traveling to Europe and France had always been one of her favorite destinations. Jennifer had heard about these nudist beaches in the south of France and was curious to see one of them. She had heard
