“You’re gorgeous angel.”

Never shy with his compliments or affection, Titan seems to experience the same pulsating vibe as me. Despite his skepticism regarding our purpose, electricity sparks between us. “You look amazing too.”

I circle his top button with my fingertip, enjoying his more casual look without a tie but still crisp white shirt under his black suit coat. “Very sexy.”

He shifts on the cushion, and I have to suppress my chuckle from him fighting his body’s response to my flirting with the mission in front of us.

“Be very careful, Fireball.”

I whisper in his ear. “Or what?”

He answers on a growl. “The punishment I mentioned at the hotel will happen tonight.”

My pussy tingles from the threat. I’ve always considered anal an absolute hard no—something I would never, ever do no matter what. Now with Titan, as much as I’ve learned to trust him, I could actually consider the idea.

Maybe.

I think.

He has me all turned around and changing everything.

The vehicle stops yet neither one of us moves. Unlike the thumping bass I heard the night Chelsea and I went to the disco side of the building, this entrance offers only silence.

I expect Titan to be as decisive as always and immediately climb out. Unaccustomed to his hesitation, I clutch his huge hand. We don’t have to rush so I squeeze his fingers and wait.

“Nothing and no one is good enough for her.”

Regardless of how domineering and dangerous he is, the soft spot for her remains evident. “I agree.”

His sigh sounds so dejected. I understand. “But if he makes her happy, then we have to let her go.”

No response. Unable to argue with something he must force himself to accept, he instead kisses my temple and shoves open the door.

Maxim waits for us at the entrance. His body is stiff as he crosses and then uncrosses his arms. He’s as nervous as Chelsea.

Titan grunts, already irritated, and we haven’t even gone inside yet. Protective over his baby sister, he opposes the change neither one of us can stop.

He turns back to help me out. Once my heels touch the sidewalk, I clutch his forearm. Needless to grip him so hard because I know he won’t lose me inside. Yet, I can’t help myself. He steadies me physically and emotionally.

Much to Titan’s annoyance with the grumble in his chest, Maxim offers his hand to him as we approach. Although Titan shakes it without comment, I can tell from his grip on me none of this sits well with him, especially the part where he doesn’t feel in control over her or our circumstances.

Maxim tips his head to me. “It’s good to see you again, Miss Scott.”

Hopeful to ease the mounting discomfort, I return his smile. “Thank you for having us.”

Our host must sense Titan’s unease because he hastily motions for us to go first. A shiver slices through me from the anticipation. I have no idea what to expect.

The simple, quiet entry area surprises me. A striking blonde woman with impeccable make-up wearing a plain black wrap dress stands behind a tall desk. She smiles as her gaze sweeps across us, lingering on Titan. I wonder if she realizes the gravity of the situation.

“Welcome to theOther Side of Déjà Vu. I’m Farrah, the manager. Mr. Makarov asked me to share with you our admissions process.”

When Titan’s huge hand wraps around the back of my neck, tugging me closer, her grin fades. I don’t understand why he’s being so possessive until she slides her fingertips over the curve of her hip and down her thigh.

Duh!

God, I’m such an idiot. She’s attracted to him. How can she not? He’s an incredible man.

And he’s mine.
