I sucked in a breath as it flung open, the wood splintering,

the handle crashing to the floor, and I heard my chair tip over

and hit the wood.

I shot up in bed, shaking my head against the heat rushing

my belly and the warmth between my legs. “Don’t,” I begged.

But I wasn’t sure if I was telling myself or him.

I didn’t hear him move, but I knew it was Damon. The

cloves drifted off his clothes, and the security would’ve

stopped him if it wasn’t.

A light sweat made the silk pajamas stick to my skin, and I

pulled off the sheet, swinging my legs over the side of the bed.

“Please, don’t,” I whispered. “I can’t think straight.”

His footsteps approached, he stopped in front of me, and I

heard ice clink in a glass as he took a drink and cupped my

chin.

He ran his fingers over my jaw, possessive.

“You don’t want to want it,” he said in a low, deep voice,

“but you do.”

“Please.” Just leave. “Please.”

Don’t touch me. Don’t hold me. Don’t take me in your

arms.

He set the glass down on my nightstand, and I heard him

remove clothes, his jacket maybe, and throw it off somewhere.

“Lie down,” he told me.

“No,” I mumbled.

I heard buttons go flying as he tore off his shirt and then

the jingle of a buckle as he unfastened his belt.

“Lie down, Winter,” he said sternly.

He’s not him. He’s not who I fell in love with.

He was my sister’s husband, and he wanted to make sure I

was never happy again.
