at Nicki’s?
    “Jack…why are you acting so strangely?”
    “I could ask you the same thing.”
    He opened the fridge and pulled out a beer.
    “I’m meeting some work friends.”
    He chuckled without humour. “You mean to meet your new boss. I’ve heard about Chad Carraway’s rep. You're just naïve enough to believe his lies.”
    “Jesus.”
    She moved to leave but he caught her arm and pulled her back against him and kept a firm hand on her, holding her tight against his rock hard body. She could feel his cock pressed against her backside.
    “Jack…”
    “You like men who treat you badly?” He whispered harshly into her ear before spinning her around and pinning her against the table.
    “What are you doing? Why are you so mad?”
    “How can you not know?”
    “What did Nicki say to you?”
    “This isn't about Nicki…”
    “It has to be about her. What did she do to make you so angry?”
    He gripped her hips harder, causing pain to shoot down her legs. His eyes were dark, darker than she had ever seen before, which had her on edge.
    “You want to know why she made me mad? Because she tied me to her bed and tried to convince me to play husband again.”
    Horror filled Kendra and the slightest amount of disbelief ran through her, making her feel a little panicky. “Nicki wouldn’t do that.”
    “Yeah…she would. Why do you think we didn’t work? She had to control everything.”
    “So why did she let you go?”
    “I confirmed her suspicions.”
    “Suspicions of what?”
    His grip relaxed a little and she felt a little at ease, trying to push away from him, but he held onto her tight enough that she couldn’t move.
    “I’m in love with you.”
    She pushed him backward and pulled herself off the table. “You aren't yourself right now, Jack.”
    Her heart was beating madly as she backed away to the door slowly. He made a move to stop her and that’s when she turned and ran for the door, not stopping until she got in a cab. So many thoughts were running through her mind as the cab peeled through the streets of the city. How could Jack be in love with her? He was her best friend, they had shared stories of one night stands together and laughed about people getting married and wasting their life with just one person.
    “Miss?” The driver broke her reverie and she looked up to see they were outside the bar she had requested he drive to. She paid the driver with the stash of money she kept in her jeans pocket for emergencies and pulled herself out of the car. She’d run so fast she had forgotten her bag…just perfect. Kendra took a deep breath before she walked in through the doors of the bar and sought out Chad. He was sitting at the bar, nursing a glass of amber liquid, wearing his suit pants and shirt he had on that day but his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. She bit her lower lip as she gazed at the muscle shown and just a hint of a tattoo peeked out from his exposed elbow.
    “Kendra.”
    She looked up to see him smiling over at her. Taking a deep breath, she walked to the bar and ordered herself a drink.
    “You're going to have to foot the bill tonight, I ran out of my apartment without my wallet.”
    “Not a problem. I think I can afford it.”
    She chuckled and took the drink off the bar before following him to an empty booth. “I'm surprised they have a spare booth. This place is usually packed by 4.30pm.”
    “I booked it. It pays to know the manager.”
    Of course he knew the manager. “So why did you want to meet up?”
    “I think you know…there needs to be ground rules if you want to be with me.”
    “Whoa cowboy…I never said I wanted to be in a relationship.”
    Chad frowned. “So…you would be happy with just sex?”
    “I'm not like the other girls you've met, Chad. Sex is all I want with no strings or boundaries.”
    To prove her point, she moved around in the circular booth and put her hand on his cock, slowly rubbing it through his
