How was I supposed to work for a man that I had rolled around on the ground with? What had come over me last night? I could hardly blame it on the alcohol. I’d only had one shot. It was like Alexander himself had drugged me with his dark eyes, muscular body, and sultry voice. But it went even deeper than his good looks. The sizzling chemistry between us made my legs tremble from just thinking about it.
A knock on the door distracted me from my thoughts. Unsteadily, I stood, walked to the door, and opened it without looking through the peephole.
That had been a mistake.
Standing in the hallway was my ex–husband.
His hair was tousled, and there were dark, purplish bruises under his eyes like he hadn’t slept at all last night. The wild look on his eyes made my stomach stiffen with fear.
Before he could say anything, I tried to shut the door on him, but Ethan must have known I would try to close it. His hand shot out, and he thrust the door wide open. With his eyes boring into mine, he leaned forward until our faces were inches apart.
