He looks at her as if she’s his next meal, yet she is blind to it. It’s been a sore topic between us for months. I warned her that the next time I saw him touch her I am going to bust his face.
    His wrinkled jacket hangs over his arm, and when he lifts his chin and reaches to secure the knot on his red silk tie, his blue eyes meet mine.
    I hate this fucker. I hate the way he dresses. I hate the way he talks, eats, walks… breathes. I just fucking hate him.
    “Good morning, Thorne.” A smirk covers his face as he moves to tuck his shirttail in his pants.
    I can’t believe the fucking bastard has the audacity to speak to me. I’m going to kill him. The coffee and Danish drop, the liquid splashing across the floor beside me. Within two seconds, I have the fucker pinned against the wall and my hands at his throat.
    “Get your goddamn hands off me!” His voice is hoarse as he struggles to push my hands away.
    “You fucking son of a bitch! What the hell are you doing here?” I demand, slamming his head against the wall.
    Before he can answer, Kylie’s door opens and my eyes land on my gorgeous girl for the first time in almost a week. She takes my breath away, standing there with her long, tousled hair and short black silk robe. She’s so fucking beautiful. My mind goes back to how she’s dressed and all I can think about is the two of them in bed together.
    “What the hell is going on? Nik, let him go,” she demands, but I refuse to release him.
    “What’s this asshole doing leaving your apartment this early, Kylie?”
    “That’s none of your goddamn business, Nik. Now, let him go!”
    Leaning in, I whisper my warning in his ear, “Watch your back, fucker,” before shoving him out of my way. The coward doesn’t even try to fight me. He’s too worried that I’ve messed up his tie.
    “Kylie? Are you going to be all right?” he asks. I’m unconvinced by his concern.
    “Yeah, Evan. I’m fine. I’ll see you at work in a bit.”
    Nodding, he turns and leaves, refusing to look my way.
    “Goodbye, Nik.” She grabs the door to shut it.
    Panicked, I waste no time charging forward. Too shocked by my move, she backs away as I push my way inside of her apartment.
    “Nikolas! Get the fuck out!” She pushes hard into my chest with her hands.
    The electric surge soars through my body. There it is… That magical touch.
    I grab her arms and pull her body into me, savoring how wonderful she feels against me. For a second her body melts, relaxing into mine. All morning, I’ve rehearsed what to say. Now is my chance, but I can’t. First, I need to know why Evan was here.
    “Did he spend the night?” I whisper in her ear.
    Her body stiffens and her silence answers my question, ripping my heart out of my chest.
    “Nik, it’s… I—”
    “You know, don’t worry about it. At least now I don’t feel bad for fucking that girl from the bar last night.”
    Heartbroken, she looks at me with those sad, beautiful eyes. The ones I love staring into more than breathing. I’ve never seen so much hurt in them. Not even on the day I walked out on her.
    I lied. No! I’m so sorry, baby. Please forgive me. I could never do that to you. To us. I love you!
    Before I can grab her in my arms and take it all back, she pulls me to her and kisses me with everything in her. At that moment, I forget what led us to this point. The anger. What I’d seen. Our breakup. It’s just me and her and this perfect bliss we’ve always shared. I feel the love in every swipe of her tongue. The electric energy surrounding us is simply spellbinding. When she pulls away to end the kiss, I find myself breathless. And dizzy. Immediately, my head begins spinning as to why she’s just done that. Is she trying to tell me it’s all been a lie? That she still loves me? God, I want nothing more than to have those lips on mine once more. Lifting my hand, I reach for her face, but she jerks away.
    “How does Evan’s cock taste, Nik?” Her beautiful,
