He leaves, even though it’s clear he doesn’t want to. When the door opens again, I snap at whoever it is to leave me alone.

“Even if I’m offering you some relief.” I recognize that voice. Glancing up, I see it’s Joanna. I fucked her once. It was good. But that seems like a lifetime ago. That was before I met Nina and fell in love …

… and had my heart fucking ripped out.

“Joanna?”

She smiles in that sultry way of hers. “Yep. That’s me. I noticed your little wife wasn’t here with you. I thought that I could get you alone, and”—she trails her finger down my bare chest— “have some fun.”

I grab her hand, intending to push it away, but I pause. Nina and I are done. There’s no way we can recover, not after what she did. She tried to kill me. I can’t forgive her for that.

Maybe I need to take my mind off her in another way that doesn’t involve violence …

“Let’s go,” I tell her. I’m not about to fuck in the locker room. Joanna smiles like she just won the lottery and follows me out.

I run into Killian on the way.

“What are you doing?” he asks, eyeing Joanna.

“I’m taking Joanna home with me.”

“But what about your wife?”

I glare at him. “What about her? We’re over.”

Killian lowers his voice so only I can hear. “It all happened tonight, man. Maybe don’t do anything you’ll regret.”

“Weren’t you the one accusing Nina of being a spy? I thought you’d be relieved to know you were right. Don’t tell me what I’ll regret.” I brush past him and motion for Joanna to follow.

We start making out before we even get inside my apartment.

But we don’t get further than that because Nina is here.

I instantly pull away from Joanna, feeling guilty. Fuck. I have no reason to feel guilty. I’m not the one who did the betraying here. That was all Nina.

She looks shocked at the sight of Joanna.

“What are you doing here?” I ask Nina. Joanna cocks her hip out, acting like she owns the place. It’s getting on my fucking nerves.

“I needed to talk to you,” Nina say. “I couldn’t leave things the way they were.”

I scoff. “Well, I have nothing to say to you. Now get out.”

She flicks her eyes at Joanna before turning back to me. “Please, Antonio—”

“He said get out,” Joanna says, cutting Nina off.

Nina looks like she might cry, and pain blazes through my chest. All I want to do is to hold her. She looks so fragile. What happened between her leaving my apartment and her going home to her father?

With a deep breath, Nina nods. “I just had to try again.” She takes one step forward and winces.

“Are you in pain?” I ask, unable to help myself.

“It’s not important.” She takes slow steps toward the door.

“What happened?” I demand.

The look Nina gives me sends ice to my heart. “You made it clear you don’t care.”
