A weird look crossed his face before he muttered, “Fuck.”
“Fuck is right!” I snapped. “What’s going on?”
“I got a problem at work, I’m fixing it,” he said, passing it off like it was nothing. “Listen, Ava, you and me –”
“There is no you and me,” I interrupted him.
His hands tightened on my wrists. “Listen!” he clipped. “I know you got a problem with the whole Sissy thing –”
The whole “Sissy thing”?
Oh… my… God.
I vowed quadruple-revenge against Dom, rat-bastard.
He went on. “I’m leaving her.”
“You can’t leave her, she already left you,” I reminded him.
“Then I’ll give her a divorce, no contest.”
Well this was good news.
“Wonderful. I can’t wait to tell her. She’ll be over the moon.”
Obviously, Dom didn’t care that his wife of five years would be thrilled at his granting a no-contest divorce.
I knew this mainly because he said, “Then you and I can hook up.”
I blinked again.
Was he insane? Why were men such total ass**les?
“We’re not hooking up,” I snapped.
I watched as his face changed in a soft, sexy way and I felt a weird moment of sadness. Mainly because he was hot and that look on his face was even hotter. If he’d been a good guy, some woman (read: Sissy) would have been very lucky. Instead, he was a rat-bastard, tore through women’s lives and left devastation in his wake.
“You changed. Noah f**ked you over and you changed,” he said, his voice just as soft and sexy as his face and I stared at him. “You got this… attitude,” his eyes dropped to my mouth. “Fuck, makes me hard just thinkin’ about it,” he muttered.
Ho-ly crap.
I pulled at my wrists. “Let me go!” I shouted.
His fingers tightened and it kinda hurt. “You and me will be good together. Explosive,” he told me.
“You’ve got a screw loose! You’re my best friend’s husband!”
“Not for long.”
“Fuck off!” I yelled.
Then he yanked me forward by my wrists and kissed me. Dom had a lot of practice at kissing. He was, I noted with some detachment, a good kisser.
I noted this right before I bit his tongue.
He reared back. “Stop doing that!”
“Stop kissing me!” I yelled and began struggling in earnest.
