knew her father liked his steaks at medium rare, so she
figured the conversation was mostly just for her father s fun,
as he enjoyed having a decent debate with a man over the
age of twenty-two. But Leonardo sounded like he was
having just as much fun debating with him as well. She
thought again about how lucky Ophelia was to find
someone so wonderful for herself that he seemed to fit so
easily with them all. Even if she did have to go to colder-
than-anything-Alaska to do it.
She opened the door with a contented smile on her face. It
froze in place as she saw Dean standing on her doorstep.
Hey, she said carefully. What are you doing here?
Can I come in? he asked, his voice bitter and cold. She
had never seen him like this and it caused a ripple of
uncertainty to flow through her, but she had never flat out

said no to him before and she wasn t about to start while he
was acting so strangely.
Sure, she said, stepping out of the way. He came in, his
shiny black shoes making barely a noise on the stone entry
way. She closed the door behind him and looked at him
expectantly.
How was your date? he asked her coldly, startling her.
Juliet narrowed her gaze at him. How were yours?
When he just stared at her, she rolled her eyes. Don t start
this crap Dean.
He moved in closer to her, his hands at either side of her
hips as he pressed her up against the wall behind her. It was
a familiar, intimate position they had shared often in this
same spot, but today it just felt wrong.
I heard that you spent the night out there with him.
Showed back up yesterday morning, both of you looking
well-sexed, as you had his arms around you on your
goddamn porch for the whole world to see what you were
doing to me behind my back, he spat in her ear.
She trembled against him and tried to push against his
chest, but he was so much heavier and so very much
stronger. Are you having me followed? she said
incredulously. She hated how her voice cracked and how
she felt so very small and vulnerable next to him. She felt
pitiful and frightened, something she never would have
expected or wanted to feel within her own home. She had
invited him in, and the situation needed to be fixed and
calmed down before someone came in and found them like
this. She didn t need her family to see him at his worst.
I ve got friends in his neighborhood, he told her, his
voice growing calm in a sort of chilling quiet. It scared her
more than his anger had a moment before. So how did you
set it all up?

Startled and confused, she stopped pushing against him
and blinked up at him. Huh? Setting what up?
He rolled his eyes at her and held her chin firmly between
her fingers. I ll say this slowly so that you can understand,
but don t you dare lie to me. Can you do that for me, baby
girl?
She nodded slowly, not wanting him to get mad at her
when he had control of her face. She took a deep breath and
plastered a friendly smile onto her face. I ll tell you
anything you want to know, Dean. You know that, sweetie.
She brought her hands up to stroke his chest through the
fine material of his expensive sweater. Her fingertips paused
over his heart. The beat was slow, controlled. She pulled
back her hand, her nails curling into her palm. She couldn t
hide her fear of him as she licked her lips nervously and
stared up at him. If anything, her fear seemed to make him
happy in some sick way. His eyes seemed to almost glitter as
he moved his hand to the side of her face so that his thumb
could still stroke her bottom lip as most of his fingers lay
against the pulse in her neck.
She was shocked to feel him put just the first little hint of
pressure against that tender flesh. Stop it, Dean. This isn t
funny, she hissed at him.
I should hope not, he said as he moved closer against
her, pressing so hard against her that he nearly made it
impossible for her to breathe. Now tell me about how you
had sex with that stupid hick and how you played me in
front of everyone.
She shook her head against his chest. The cramped space
made the movement nearly impossible. I didn t know that
he was even there until you left and he placed the bid. She
tried to force her hands between them to push on his chest,
but with him so close and his hands at her sides she was
effectively pinned. Please let me go, Dean, she whispered,

her voice cracking. We can talk about this later. I promise.
Just let me have this afternoon with my family. She hated
how tears pricked her eyelashes and how she shook with
fear. Most of how she hated how goddamn weak she felt [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
