“No.” She stepped closer to Damon, loving the way Harker’s eye narrowed. She’d never seen him this angry. Good. Let him feel just a little of the hurt she was feeling. “I’m leaving.”
“No, you are no...” He clamped his mouth shut so hard she heard his teeth hit. “Please, let’s go back to the room and talk.”
“No.” She’d never appreciated conciseness before, but every time she said that one little word Harker’s face twitched.
“You’re overreacting.” He glared at her.
“I am not. You…What you did…on our wedding night.” Her voice cracked. She hated crying and she wasn’t going to cry over him.
“You’re accusing me of something that you don’t even know happened.” He stepped closer.
The scent of his cologne surrounded her, bombarding her with images from last night—him kissing her, holding her, his body hard and hot inside hers.
“I can’t believe you’re going to leave without giving me a chance to talk to you. To tell you what happened. I expected more from you.”
He was right. She didn’t know for sure, but…“I want the truth. Did you come here on our wedding night?”
“Come to the room with me and I’ll tell you.” He held out his hand.
“No.” She took a step away from him. “You’re lying. You won’t tell me the truth.”
“Have you ever known me to lie to you? Ever?”
“No…but…Do you promise to tell me the truth no matter what?”
“Yes, if you come back to our room.”
She nodded. Damon cleared his throat and Harker glared past her at the giant of a man. Damon’s eyes met hers and he glanced at the doorway.
“You are not helping,” said Harker.
“I’m helping her,” said Damon.
“She’s my wife. I’m not going to hurt her.”
Damon shrugged. “But you were going to force her to go with you. I want to make sure that the lady can leave if she wants to.”
“Oh…thank you.” She smiled up at Damon before looking back at Harker and frowning. “When we’re done talking, I want your word that you’ll let me leave.”
“I’ll even drive you myself.”
“Thanks, but I prefer to take a taxi.” She was pretty sure Harker’s jaw was going to shatter from grinding his teeth.
CHAPTER 2: Harker
Harker escorted Alison to their room. He’d won the first battle. She was at the proverbial table and ready to listen. Now, he needed to tell her the truth in a way she wanted to hear. He opened the door.
As soon as she stepped inside, she spun around. “Did you come here on our wedding night?”
“Yes.” He closed the door behind him but didn’t move. He wasn’t chasing her through the Club again. If she wanted to leave, she’d have to go through him.
“Yes?” Her mouth dropped open.
He took her hand. “Listen to—”
“Don’t touch me.” She pulled away from him. “How could you? You lied to me.”
“I did not lie.”
