Leaning forward, she wrapped me up in a hug. “Of course, it’s ok. I just worry about you being lonely in here all by yourself when I’m gone is all.”
Hugging her back, I assured her, “trust me, if I was lonely, I would come out with you, but I’m good. I promise.”
She handed me a piece of paper with an address scribbled on it. “Alright. But if you change your mind here’s the address of where I’ll be tonight.”
“Ok.”
Two hours later, Scarlett was yelling her goodbyes on her way out the door and I was finally left to read my newest book, that I’d picked up after work today. It was just a coincidence that it was a mafia romance.
Really!
I mean I didn’t truly know who my devil was, but I did have a few ideas.
I was only about five pages into the first chapter when I heard a knock at the front door. “Scar, did you forget your keysagain?” I yelled out on my way to open it. That girl forgot her keys more than any human being I’d ever known.
Opening the door, without looking through the peep hole, I was shocked speechless when I saw who was on the other side of it. “What are you doing here?”
“Hey, Reese. I know this might seem out of left field and all, but I was in the area and thought I’d stop by.”
I just stood there in disbelief at the fact he was here right now. “You don’t live anywhere near here, Logan.”
He chuckled nervously. “Yeah, you caught me. Can I come in?”
Realizing that I was blocking his way, I moved to the side and opened the door wider so he could enter. “Uh, sure.” Closing the door, I followed him into the living room and sat down across from him. “So, I’m a little confused as to why you’re here right now, Logan.”
“I know, and you have every right to kick my ass to the curb after what I did to you, but I’m hoping you won’t.” Getting up, he moved across the room to sit down next to me. Taking my hand in his, he took a deep breath. “So, I’m just going to say the thing I’m not supposed to. I miss you, Reese. I made a huge mistake when I cheated on you, and I know that now. What I had in you can’t be found with anyone else. So, what I’m asking you for here is a second chance.”
I was so completely blindsided by what I was hearing, it took me a moment to respond. “Logan, it’s been almost two years.”
“I know... wait, are you with someone else? I heard from a mutual friend of ours that you were still single.”
“Uh, well, as a matter of fact I’m...”
“She’s with me.”
My head couldn’t turn fast enough at the sound of his voice.
It was him.
My Devil.
Here.
In my house.
“Creed?” If I was blindsided by Logan’s visit, I was completely flabbergasted at the devil’s appearance. “What...”
Without a word, he moved in closer until he was towering over us. “If I were you, I would remove your fucking ass from that couch before I have my associate here do it for you.” At his nod to the man over his shoulder, I turned my head to see Kieran lurking in the background. What the actual hell was happening right now?
Getting angry at the fact that this devil of a man thought he could actually just barge intomyhome and start throwing out orders to anyone, I sprang up from the couch and got in his face. “Just who the hell do you think you are coming intomyhome and telling my guest what to do?”
Taking a hold of my arm in a tight grip, he pulled me in to him even closer. “The kind of man you don’t want to push right now.”
I could see Logan stand up in my peripheral vision, and the look in my devil’s eyes darkened.
He wanted this battle.
He wanted his blood on his hands.
