Her eyes round at that, a cute as fuck angry expression flickering over her face that I assume is supposed to back me off.

Guess what?

It won’t.

“You need to get the hell out of my room right now.”

I grin at that and step closer, stealing all of her space because she belongs to me just as much as I belong to her.

“Make me.”

Ivy said to give Emily a grand gesture, and that fluffy, romantic bullshit can take a hike because it was never the gesture I needed to make.

This.

This is what Emily needs.

Fire and fists and fury.

Because that’s what she has inside her as well, even when she tries to hide it behind demure manners and ridiculous excuses.

Slamming her palms against my chest, she only manages to knock herself back. I tilt my head because really? Did she actually think that would work?

Her angry glare locks to mine, her jaw set and the wheels spinning in her head so fast that smoke should be coming out of her ears.

“I’ve already given you my last answer.”

“I didn’t believe you.”

“Well, believe it,” she yells. “There is nothing you can do to convince me otherwise.”

Stepping closer to her, I smile and run my eyes down her body. Lifting them again, I shake my head.

“I don’t believe that either.”

There are no tears leaking from her beautiful eyes now, just a shade of red spreading across her pale cheeks, all the flames and heat inside her coming to the surface.

Emily tries to walk off, but I grab her arm and pull her back to me. Lowering my head, I whisper against her ear.

“You were going the wrong way.”

“I don’t think away from you is the wrong way,” she answers on a hiss of breath.

What she doesn’t know is that it’salwaysbeen the wrong fucking way.

She sneers at me, practically gnashing her teeth as she narrows her eyes and stabs a finger to my chest.

“We’re done. I’ve told you that several times now. I’ve given you every reason we won’t work, and I’ve tried to be patient with you. But this isn’t going to happen. You need to get it through your thick head-“

“My thick head? Are you fucking kidding me right now? Woman, that skull of yours must be several inches thicker than usual because you’re the one who won’t listen to reason.”

Her jaw drops at the accusation, more fury rolling behind eyes the color of an angry sea.

“Give me one fucking reason I should even listen to you anymore after the shit you’ve pulled over the last few weeks! You’ve been unbearable, Ezra. Striking out at everybody. This isn’t something you can force with brute strength! Now get the fuck out of my room.”

“Like hell it isn’t,” I snarl.

When I step toward her, Emily’s eyes fly open, a heavy weight hitting my back as arms wrap around my neck and prevent me from getting close to her.
