“You didn’t seem to find me revolting when I had my face between your legs.”
I gave him a cold smirk. “What can I say? I’m a good actress.”
I was doing my best to hurt him, just as he’d hurt Jayden. I wanted to be cruel, using my words like whips, lashing out at him. Tam always had confidence that he was an amazing lover, and now I wanted to tear down that certainty, erode it like running water at a riverbank.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure there are plenty of other women out there who will appreciate what I can do with my tongue.”
The thought of him with another woman hurt like a knife to the heart, but I had to ignore the emotion. I couldn’t marry Tam. Not now. He’d disrespected my family. How were we supposed to create any kind of union out of this mess?
I covered up my feelings with a sweet smile. “Just as I’m sure there will be plenty of other men out there for me. I’d never wanted to be stuck with just one cock for the rest of my life anyway. I can’t wait to experience more of them. Maybe I can even manage more than one at once. I should have taken both those men up to the room in Estonia and had one of them fuck my arse while I sucked the other one off.”
“If I see another man anywhere near you, I’ll cut his fucking hands off,” Tam snarled.
“No, you won’t, because I’m nothing to you anymore, Tam. You were right when you suggested that it was a good idea to spend a month together before we got married, because it proved to me that I could never spend my life with someone like you.”
He scoffed. “You were lucky even to get to spend a few weeks with me. I’ve shown you what it’s like to be with a man instead of a boy. No one else will ever live up to me.”
“Why are you even angry? Isn’t this what you wanted? I’m not stupid, Tam. I know you were trying to push me away the whole time. You wanted me to run back home, so why are you fighting it now? You should be celebrating, shouldn’t you?”
His lips tightened. I wanted him to deny that was what he’d been doing, that actually everything we’d done together had been real, but he didn’t.
I blinked back tears and angled my face so he didn’t see them. I didn’t want to cry, because I was terrified he would take me in his arms and kiss away the tears and then I would lose all my resolve.
“What the fuck is it you want, Tam? You got what you wanted, but now you’re saying I can’t go? Do you even know what you want?”
“I want you.”
“You want me? But not emotionally, though, only in your bed, or wherever the hell else you decide you want to fuck me. But you won’t tell me anything about yourself or tell me what you’re thinking.”
I shook my head at myself. Why was I even bothering to argue this? Nothing was going to change, and I wasn’t going to forgive him for what happened in the club.
“It’s too late, Tam.”
I turned my back on him and finished throwing my belongings into my case. I didn’t want to leave anything here, knowing it would either give me an excuse to come back, or would give him a reason to come and find me. It was better like this—a clean break. Our families were never meant to be joined. It had been naïve of us to think this could work. We were once enemies, and it seemed, we’d continue to be enemies.
When the final item was safely inside the case, I zipped up the bag and hauled it off the bed.
“Where are you going?” he demanded.
“It’s none of your business.”
“Let my driver take you.”
“Why? So you can get him to report back where I am?”
He scowled but didn’t reply.
“I thought so. Now get out of my way.”
He put his hand across the doorframe, blocking the exit. “No.”
“Get out of the fucking way, Tam.”
“You’re mine. I’m not letting you just walk away.”
Using all my courage, I shoved at his arm. “I’m not yours. The only person I belong to is myself.”
His arm was like a piece of iron wedged into the gap, and it didn’t budge at my shove, but he was taller than me, so I ducked beneath it instead. Would he come after me? Grab me? Lock me in a room? I wouldn’t have put it past him. My heart hammered, and my mouth had run dry.
