EXCERPT
He puts down the glass and walks over to where I stand. “I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to
spend more time with you. I was trying to give you space.”
“To give me space to do what? Go crazy in a strange city all by myself?”
His nostrils flare. “Okay, I was trying to stay away from you. Happy?”
He flails his arms in frustration and turns sideways. He tilts his head back, watching the sky
through the glass roof.
I watch his profile, the statue of imperfect perfection.
Stay away from me. The statement hurts, and its poison spreads fast through my veins.
“Wow. I’m sorry I’m such an inconvenience.”
I march to the elevator.
Away from this.
Away from him.
Away from all these conflicting feelings.
He catches up with me so fast I yelp, but still I try to dash away. His arm weaves around my
waist and he whips me around.
Fuck, this manhandling routine is getting really annoying.
“You’re a goddamn inconvenience.” He grabs my throat and my back hits the elevator door.
It’s a violent gesture, but he inserts care into it, controlling himself. And as someone who’s
dealt with abusive assholes, I know the difference.
And I believe without a trace of doubt, in this moment, he’s protecting me. Perhaps from
himself.
Or from us.
“You destroyed me once already, Brook, and I swore I wouldn’t be the idiot who lets you do it
again. And yet, here I am, offering to marry you to help you out. You’re a damn inconvenience,
and I still can’t stop thinking about you, worrying about you, spending my days wondering if
there is anything I can do to make your life better.”
He squeezes my throat and lowers his head to my ear, the warmth of his breath sprouting
goosebumps on my skin. My breath hitches.
“You’re a fucking inconvenience. The most painfully tantalizing, magnificent inconvenience.”
