“Away from you,” I hiss in his direction.
“Is that right? Have you made your choice, Eva? Are you getting a divorce?” There’s anger in his tone, but not half as much as I feel.
“I’ve been lied to. I’ve been cheated and now I’m done.”
“Cheated how?”
“I was giving you that six months, Dominic! Damn you!” I cry before hitting him with my fists. Dom releases his hold on my hair, but not the one on my throat.
“I didn’t plan on this, Evangeline. I never wanted this to happen.”
“Really? You just thought it would be a great idea to play dead? To hurt me? To break my fucking heart? I love you, Dominic.” The words fall from my lips as he watches me. Now his hand falls from my throat once all the fight has left me.
“I saw an opportunity and I took it. I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what I have if I didn’t. I never wanted to hurt you, Eva. Never.”
“All you’ve done is hurt me. Don’t you see that?”
“I’ve tried to protect you! I’ve tried to give you whatever you needed,” he says keeping his eyes locked with mine.
“I held you in my arms, Dom. Blood covering everything. I watched you lie there and bleed.” Tears slowly fall down my cheeks. He ripped me apart and I don’t know that he can put me back together.
“Eva, I’m sorry.”
“Sorry isn’t good enough anymore. I cared about you. I was letting myself go to be with you, Dominic and you… you just lied and stole my heart. You took it and disappeared and now you what? Expect to pick up where we left off? You can’t be that stupid!”
“I don’t know what I thought. I didn’t think about coming back, Eva. I was so focused on the task at hand that I didn’t let my feelings for you take over.”
“I can’t do this, Dom. I don’t want to do this. I was prepared to kill for you.”
“And that right there means everything to me. I never wanted you to be a killer, Eva. You didn’t want that life!”
“Too little too late, right?” I turn on my heel and head for the stairs and this time he lets me. I grab my phone and call Vin asking him to come back. I need a friend. I need someone that understands because clearly Dominic doesn’t see what he did as wrong.
I walk into the basement and wait. And I wait and wait until I hear the back door click and Vin walk in.
“You okay?”
“No. Spar with me?” He nods his head and pulls off his jacket, tossing it to the side. I watch him roll the sleeves of his shirt up before coming to stand on the mat. I take the first throw. It lands and then I throw again. Vin doesn’t even attempt to block them. He lets me hit him. He lets me take out my anger on him. It’s wrong, I know it is, but I can’t stop. I keep swinging until there’s nothing left in me and then I fall into a heap of tears in his arms. He lowers us to the floor and holds me, trying to soothe me as best he can.
“I hurt you.”
“Not as bad as he hurt you. I get it, Eva. I know you love him.”
“And that changes the facts? That he lied to me? That he left me?” Sobs rip at my chest as Vin holds me tighter.
“I don’t know what to say to you,” he whispers.
“How about taking your hands off my wife!” Vin looks up, but I don’t move from my spot in his arms. I can’t look at Dom and not want to hurt him.
“Just stop, Dom. She’s been hurt enough,” Vin tells him.
“As I very well know.” In seconds he’s across the room and pulling me out of Vin’s arms. Then I’m shoved against the wall once more where Dom’s lips come crashing down on mine. It’s like heaven and hell have met in the middle. It’s explosive, it’s wrong, but so fucking right. He presses his body into mine and I moan into his mouth. I can vaguely hear his belt as he undoes it with one hand. Then he’s lifting me, sliding my panties to the side and shoving the t-shirt I had on up my body. And then he’s inside of me. All of him. His entire being is filling me and all I can do is ride the passion.
“You will never be in his arms again,” he growls as he thrusts harder.
“He’s my friend,” I remind him. Another rough thrust and I gasp. His lips come down on my neck, licking and sucking, tasting me like he hasn’t done in a long time.
“Never again.” My nails dig into his back as he fucks me harder. This man is everything to me. My head hits the wall and I don’t even care. The more force he puts behind it, the more I scream his name.
