“I’ll just have to show you,” I said.
“It’s too late,” Rena replied.
I shook my head. Fuck that. It wasn’t too late. She was just being full of shit. My cock was hard in my pants, and my chest was bursting with what I felt for this woman. And she was throwing it all back in my face.
“Come with me to my office,” I said.
“I’m not going anywhere with you,” she spat.
“Yes, you are.” I grabbed her, picking her up. She was so surprised she froze for a second, and it was enough time for me to throw her over my shoulder and grip her legs properly. She yelped.
I turned and stormed out her office, marching to my own. Joe was at the door to his office, watching the whole thing, and when I caught his eye, he grinned at me. But this wasn’t a high-five moment between bros. This was about Rena and showing her that she was wrong. That I had been wrong. This was about making it right.
I wasn’t good with words, but I was great with actions. I could step up to the plate any day, but I couldn’t explain how I felt.
Today, I was going to show Rena exactly what I felt. And I didn’t care that the whole office had heard our fight. They could know, too. The world could know how I felt about her. All I cared about was Rena and showing her that she couldn’t just walk away from me.
Chapter 27
Rena
He picked me up and dragged me to his office like some caveman, and I had been so shocked that he’d put his hands on me at all that I hadn’t thought fast enough to stop him. Now, I was thrown over his shoulder and pounding on his back with my fists. He didn’t seem to even feel it.
I was painfully aware of all the eyes on us. Everyone was seeing this. Everyone must have heard our fight. I had been arrogant enough to think Brent was bluffing when he told me we would have it out in front of the office if I wouldn’t go with him. I had called a bluff that hadn’t existed. And now, everyone knew. They knew about the sex and the money and the baby.
This was a twisted walk of shame, and I was embarrassed and humiliated—and incredibly turned on. Brent was so hot when he went all alpha on me, and he had taken what belonged to him now. I pushed him away because we weren’t doing this anymore. I vowed that I wasn’t going to give him anything because I owed him nothing. But with him throwing me over his shoulder, I couldn’t help but melt at his touch.
Damned if I was going to show it to him.
Brent walked into this office and shut the door, locking it before he finally put me down. I was breathing hard, and the anger crackled in the air around us. He was as pissed off as I was. The atmosphere was charged with a mix of lust and fury, and I couldn’t think clearly.
“That was completely uncalled for,” I said.
“So is looking for a new job.”
“I am an adult. I can do whatever I want.”
Brent folded his arms over his chest. “I’m not going to let you walk away.”
I stormed to the door. A stupid little lock wasn’t going to keep me in. “Yes, you are. And when I walk out of here, you’ll never see me again. We’re done.”
Brent moved so fast it felt like he had come out of nowhere. He put himself between me and the door, and I was suddenly pressed up against him so tightly, I noticed his perfectly blue eyes had a tiny bit of green in them. It was great to know there was an imperfection. In every other aspect, Brent was perfect.
“We’re not done,” Brent countered.
“Who the fuck are you to decide that?” I asked. “It’s all a game to you. I’m not playing anymore.”
Brent shook his head. I reached for the lock, but Brent grabbed my wrist.
I glared at him. “Unhand me,” I said.
Brent let go of my hand, but he wasn’t going to move. Even if I unlocked the door, I wouldn’t get out of the office.
“I don’t know why you’re being so full of shit,” I said. “Why won’t you just let me go? It’s not like you give a shit what happens after this.”
Brent’s face changed, and I couldn’t tell what his expression meant.
“I’ll show you what this means,” Brent said, and he grabbed my face, kissing me. I froze again. It was so unexpected, I had no idea what to do. It flickered through my mind that I wanted to slap him, but something stopped me. Something warm and melting in my center. No matter what Brent did, he was my weakness, and when he kissed me the way he was kissing me now, everything dissolved until it was only the two of us.
