Relance around me to see that someone must have ushered the crowd soroup of uard

Well, lucky fuckingAlex out of the ring, knowing that there’s no e’re both getting out of here alive unless I take his offer I try anyway Whybecause I’ripsit with a jaw I hear a loud crack before the sound of feet shuffling across the cehout the warehouse, causing the hair on the back of my neck to stand Everyone freezes on command, obviously aware of what this man is capable of "This is your last chance Be here this Friday night at ot e and push h the ine the shit-eating grin on his face, knowing that he’s won At least, I’ll let hiure this shit out

His words repeat in ht air and slaainst my truck

"You fucked me, Alex! Consider h ht of fucking shit up and never seeing her again She’s the only thing that silences the deinning to fucking make senseit crumbles around me Well fuck me to hell and back

IT WAS A LONG DAY at the tattoo shop, and I swore if I had to spend anotherunusually annoying and Ryan was just in a really pissyout from under him a few times, but decided that I didn’t want to listen to him whine about it I just can’t take anymore shit today

I’ve been off work for the last two hours and have been conte whether or not I want to confront Meht You don’t just let yourself into soasm they’ve ever had and then walk away as if it never happened A part of me wants to yell at hiain I doubt I’ll be able to do that though

Bailey looks up fro of chocolate covered raisins "Here, take these You look like you need to put so open and pourout of ry "I mean who the fuck does Me?" Bailey sits up straight and crosses her legs, eager for gossip "Did soone? You’ve been acting really daht"

I think back to the look in Methe want in them Then, just as easily, he switched it off and walked out As much as it bothers me, I feel like it’s my own dirty little secret and I want to keep it all to myself

"No I’m just tired I don’t know I have another photo shoot on Friday and I guess I’m just burnt out Maybe I need a vacation" I pop another handful of raisins infor et some air I’ll be back"

Bailey lies back on the couch and covers up with her favorite fuzzy blanket "You’re such a daet it out of you sooner or later so don’t even bother trying to lie"

"I’ll tell you about it later I just don’t feel like discussing it right now I’m tired as shit and have a lot on my mind" I open the front door "Leave the door unlocked"

"Whatever," she says "Hurry and shut the door I’ my eyes, I back out of the door and just about screaainst the porch behind me "What the hell, Memphis!

I look down at his lips and shakewith need and all I want to do is kiss hiainst the house "Fuck, Lyric" He tangles his other hand in"Why are you so damn stubborn?"

"It’s the way I was raised" I look up to meet his eyes "By my asshole of a father that barely even kneas there"

I see hurt flash in his eyes before his lips brush against mine, and then stop They hover there for ahi to catch e door as if nothing just happened, and as if he wasn’t just standing here onhtthis asshole a piece of ry, I e door and through the house door I don’t give a shit about his privacy anye into ht Why should I respect his privacy and space?

I walk straight for the hallway and quicklyin front of his bed, looking sexy in a black button down shirt He stiffens when he hears me enter, but doesn’t say a word as he tosses his jacket down in front of him

I have a brief moment of weakness as I take in his sexy as sin body, but shake it off and do what the hell I’m here to do

"You knohat, Memphis? Fuck you!" His back muscles flex as I walk closer to hi as if you want me one minute and then push me away the next Who the hell do you think you are? Do you think I’ to continuously take it? Do you think I enjoy you fucking with mebecause I sure as hell don’t It pissesa few feet away from him "So stay the fuck away from me, Memphis Don’t come to ivekey You don’t live there anymore I do"
