“I don’t think you do. I’m not the same girl that you abused, August,” I told him.
“Abused?” he asked in a straggled gasp. “Nora, I would never…”
“The woman said what she said,” Weston said.
“Why don’t you stay out of this?” August snapped at him.
“I don’t think I have to do that. You heard her.” West straightened to his considerable height and crossed his arms over his chest. “She doesn’t want anything to do with you.”
August looked ready to argue, but since when did he fight for what he wanted? When had he ever fought for me? No, he gave me one more pleading look and then slunk away.
“I have no idea what that was about.”
West shook his head. “He’s up to something.”
“Well, whatever it is, I don’t want any part of it.”
“Good,” he said, pressing a kiss to my hair.
I wasn’t sure he even realized that he’d done it. How intimate it was. It wasn’t about sex…or anything with our little fling. It was just what he’d wanted in that moment. I glanced up at him, and my stomach flipped at the look still on his face. The one that said he’d do anything to keep me from being hurt by that ass again.
But who was going to protect my heart from him?
