But my mind won’t let me focus on the site I’m in the middle of building because the fucker is right.
I shove away from my desk and stomp all the way downstairs.
I just need coffee. I don’t miss Dominic Gonzalez.
* * *
Big Guy: Valentine.
I reachout and pause the movie.
Me: What?
Send.
My phone vibrates, showing Dominic calling. No…
I groan.
It’s a video call.
I debate not answering for a long moment, but I know Dom enough to know he’ll just keep calling.
Sighing, I hit answer.
“Angel.” Dominic’s tone is scolding.
“What?”
“Valentine, pick the phone up.”
“I don’t want to,” I tell him.
I answered the call but left the phone lying on the bed next to me, camera aimed at the ceiling.
“Why not?” He sounds curious, not mad. And with all the security around here, it’s not like he’s afraid I’m in bed with a man.
“Because I’m not dressed for company.”
He groans. “Are you naked?”
“What? No.”
“Then show me your pretty face.”
I grit my teeth. Charming Dominic is so obnoxious.
“Fine.” I huff out a breath and pick up the phone.
I watch his handsome face as his eyes trail over mine.
This was supposed to be my night of pampering, but it’s turned into a night of Dom.
“That the same mask you used on Halloween?” Dominic asks, and his question slices through my chest.
I started my period the day he left, and my hormones have been all over the place. I’m a few days in, past the worst of it, but my heart still feels wrung out.
Before I realize it’s happening, a tear tracks down my cheek, leaving a trail in the clay mask I’m wearing.
