“What are you doing here?” Roman asks right away, stepping closer to me in a way that makes my privacy feel invaded. “Seriously, Nikki. You shouldn’t be in a place like this.”

“Oh, you’re my protective, possessive boyfriend, are you?” I ask almost angrily, reaching for the door handle that will take me into the bathroom. Roman closes his hand around my wrist and pushes me against the wall.

I hate how hot my skin gets at the feel of his body so close to mine.

“Don’t try to give me any of that,” he grits out, his eyes searching mine almost feverishly. “You’re the one who’s at the strip club. Who’re you with?”

“I don’t have to answer that question. And I won’t.”

Roman’s face is only inches away from mine. Something dark and dangerous is flashing in his eyes. “You wouldn’t have gotten into this place on your own. Who are you with?”

“Like I said, I won’t answer that.”

Roman backs away a little, his eyes slightly narrowed. For some reason, his reaction pleases me a lot more than it should. I shouldn’t care that he’s jealous—why does this matter when I don’t want him in the first place?

“Nikki,” he says slowly before shaking his head, “I hope you know just how crazy you’re driving me. But you do know that, don’t you? Why else would you be here?”

“Do you think I came because I knew you’d be here? Don’t be delusional, Roman. How would I even find out

about that?”

“You tell me.”

I give my head a shake. “I don’t have time for this, okay?”

I reach for the handle again but he stops me. Again. “Roman, that’s enough.”

“You’re not going to go anywhere unless you tell me who you’re here with!”

His invasiveness angers me and I end up saying the first thing that’s on my mind. “I’m here with your future father-in-law. Happy?”

Roman tenses up. Honestly, I thought I’d shock him or something, but I didn’t expect to see fear written all over his face. “What?”

I don’t answer him. Instead, I stare at his face curiously, gauging his reaction. He closes his hands around my arms and asks through clenched teeth, “How did you meet him, Nikki? Do you realize what kind of danger you’re in?”

Chapter 15

I shrug. “He seems like a nice guy.”

The energy between us shifts. It’s gotten darker and heavier. “Nice guy, huh?”

For some reason, I just keep going, encouraged by his change of mood. It feels fucking amazing to see he isn’t smiling the way he usually does. Oh, things have stopped being funny, have they? I’ve felt like shit for days since my last interaction with him. And yes, I’m acting like a wounded animal-all defensive. This deeply rooted immaturity of mine is also acting out.

I want to hurt him the same way he hurt me.

“Really nice guy,” I add. “In fact, I’m sure he’d fuck me tonight if I let him. And maybe I should-he seems like a far more sensible guy than you. And if I have to make a mistake, then let it be with someone like him. Someone who actually knows what they’re-”

Roman doesn’t even let me finish. In a flash, he opens the bathroom door and shoves me inside. I nearly lose my footing. If it weren’t for his hand around my wrist, I’d probably fall.

“Let me go!”

His other hand closes around my jaw and his fingers dig into my face. His voice is low and the words are laced with intent. When I turn my head to the side sharply and his grip slips, he closes his hand around my neck. “You’re not going to do that, you know why? Because nobody’s ever going to fuck you. Not tonight or any other night. Only me.”

I scoff, but my heart has just skipped a beat. “Yeah, sure.”

“You’re mine already, Nikki. When will you accept that?” His lips brush against mine and a shiver races down my spine. I need to put a stop to this now.

“I’m not yours, Roman.”

“No?” he asks, a slight edge to his voice. He stares at my face for a long while, long enough for me to wonder if there’s something wrong with him. I start feeling uncomfortable. He’s too close. His hand is still around my neck and it’s getting tighter. Or is it his proximity that’s making it so much harder for me to breathe?

“Could you back away from me?” He doesn’t seem to even be listening to me, and I’ve had enough of this. “I think that-”

His lips crash into mine and he swallows the rest of my sentence. I kiss him back but the whole time, I’m telling myself that I have to push him away. I’m going to. But with every passing moment, I lose myself more and more in his kiss, and I discover that my feelings are completely unresolved where he’s concerned because I can’t find it in me to push him away once he has started to touch me.

No matter how hard I try.

His tongue glides against mine and my resolve weakens even more. Roman runs his thumb down my right breast, flicking the nipple only briefly before he grabs my hip. Warmth trickles down my spine the longer we kiss, and I hook my leg over his hip, making him smile against my lips.

I know what’s going through his mind, but right now, I don’t care.

Chapter 15

I break the kiss and say, “We can’t do this.”
