For how many years had he used women for the one thing he’d been used by Taylor for? Of course, he’d not seen it as using when he’d been in sexually driven relationships, but now that he was on the opposite side, he now understood why women didn’t like to be objectified. Taylor had claimed she’d wanted one thing and one thing only from him. It stung. No two ways around it. His outlook on love and sex was the reason his marriage had failed. His wife had been a trophy, to look pretty on his arm and then grace his bed. Yes, he’d enjoyed her company in the early days, but then as things soured, he’d not understood it. He’d come home and been schooled in why his relationships always failed—by having the roles reversed. Now, he wondered if there was any way to fix things and salvage something of their relationship, if it could be called that. Rhett wanted another shot to prove he could be different. Taylor made him want to try. He couldn’t say he wouldn’t fail, but the desire meant something, didn’t it?
