A shiver ran through Millicent’s b*dy; it traveled through my fingers clutching
her chin, rippling down to my d ick.
I never realized how f ucking gorgeous Millicent was until this deal started. Red
stained her cheeks, l*ps parted as she breathed heavily. Her thick lashes
fiuttered, blinking away the shock that crossed her face. It formed into a defiant
gaze that pierced my own.
My co ck jerked. I shouldn’t love that fierce defiance in her eyes, but I f u cking
do. Something must be wrong withbecause I’m so turned on; I think my
balls are turning dark blue,
“For a show,” she stated, aiming to make her point, but her b*dy betrayed her.
Subtly, she s taggered back against the door. her legs wobbling.
It had been a struggle to keep everything insidesince Saturday night. I
appeared cool and collected on the outside. Inside, I wanted to pull Millicent
into my arms and keep her glued to my side every second of the day. I want to
hunt the f ucker who attacked her, make him bleed in front of her for her
forgiveness. And right now, I want to k*ss the life out of her and release all this
pent-up tension in my b*dy.
Oh, how easy it would be to take advantage of this situation, but I don’t.
I’ve never met any woman as hard-headed as her. Can’t she f ucking see how
much I worry about her? She’s been on my mind since I drove her to work this
morning. I couldn’t focus on anything. Even the lab result for the Belmont Hotel

I left work early so I could wait for Millicent to clock out. I’m glad I f ucking did,

Now she’s babbling nonsense about her being mine for a show? There was an
undeniable attraction between us. Even a blind man would see it. She says one
thing, but her b*dy’s response to my touch says otherwise. She wanted me, so

“I’m not a property you can own because we’re fake dating, Darmian.” Her
statement stabbed a hot knife in my chest, knockingback to my senses. She
shook her head and pushedaway with little force. I let her because now I
realize where this resistance was coming from. “I made a mistake in New York.

For the second time, she slammed the door in my face, but this time, I knew I

him. The bike was in good condition. Charlie mentioned something about his
friend moving to Canada or something: I actually zoned out the entire time.
I couldn’t keep things to myself anymore. After leaving Millicent’s place, I drove
around town without a destination in mind. My head felt like it would explode

also knew she was doing the right thing by keepingat arm’s length.

Then Charlie invitedfor a beer for the second tthis week. So here I am.
Charlie can be trusted: 1 just hope he doesn’t spill my secret to Madeline. That
girl was like a trigger bomb. One fiick, and she’d spill her guts without
hesitation.
“I’d f ucking kill you if this gets out,” I groaned, lifting the beer to my l*ps.

I lift my gaze from the fire, pinning him with furrowed brows,

The crease between my brows deepened.
“How did you know you loved her?” he asked.
I growled. “What kind of f ucking question is that?”

This was starting to sound like a cross-examination. Charlie had units in law

business. His childhood dream was to beca lawyer, and it’s still

belched out, sounding amused more than hurt.
Groaning, I leaned back in my seat and stared at the star-filled sky, mulling over
his question. “I want to see her all the f ucking time. I breathe into the air. “She
was constantly in my head.”
“Why?” Charlic pressed.

“I don’t know, man. I can’t stop thinking about how f ucking hot she was. And no
woman could get my d ick as hard as she could.”
“And now?”
I made an exasperated sound under my throat, glaring at Charlie. His eyes show
no judgment whatsoever, only curiosity.
“Now?”
“Do you still think about her?”
I stopped glaring at Charlie, now a hundred percent focused on his questions.
These past months, the only tSonja crossed my mind was when I saw her in
Roslin City. I stopped thinking and dreaming about her when Millicent stepped
into my life.
A slow smile stretched Charlie’s l*p when I kept silent. “What you feel for Sonja
isn’t love, man. That’s lust.”
I would argue with Charlie if he wasn’t in an eight-year relationship with
Madeline. He earned the right to pronounce the difference between love and
lust and other feelings in general. If it isn’t love that made him loyal to one girl
that long. I don’t know what could.
“You’re right about one thing; you can’t stop thinking about her, but not only
about how hot she is. But because you wonder what the f uck she’s doing when
she’s not with you. You constantly worry if she’d eaten, took her med at the
right time, or if she needs help in reaching something from the top shelf,” he
chuckled, a memory crossing his face.
Madeline was a foot and a half shorter than Charlie. He probably worries about
her having trouble reaching for things.
“You want

cheesy romantic movie that makes her smile, cook for her, give her cuddles at
night – even without making love you’d be f ucking glad just to be sleeping
beside her.”
My heart trashed wildly inside its cage. Was it even possible that I don’t really
know what love is?
“Love is that st upid little thing that makes your heart pound just seeing her
smile, D”
