“We’ll fucking fix that,” I growl.
“Oh, yeah? And what about Damon? Huh? What about him? It would destroy him if we ended up together.”
Tears leak from her eyes and I kiss them away, my hands coming up to cup her cheeks as her shoulders shake with sobs
I press my forehead to hers and lock her gaze in place. “He was never supposed to fall in love. You’ve always been mine, Emily, you know that. He was only part of this for fun.”
She laughs, the short burst of sound more pissed off then fu
Shifting my weight between my feet, I hold her face in my hands, desperate to be gentle because I would die if I ever hurt her. But the adrenaline makes it hard, my teeth biting down on the inside of my lip, my heart hammering like a war drum.
“You’re mine.”
I say it again and again and again, but she only shakes her head and knocks my hands away.
Tears stream down her face to slide along her jaw and drip off her chin.
“I’m sorry, Ezra. But there’s too much standing between us.”
Emily’s voice drops to a bare whisper as she flattens a palm against my chest – against my heart - and pushes me away.
“I love you, but there is no possibility of fixing this. It doesn’t matter how we feel. It’s over.”
I step back when she tugs the door open and walks off, my eyes glued to her body, my hands clenching into fists.
The door closes between us, and pure rage pours through my body, my eyes seeing red, my muscles rigid.
Before I realize what I’m doing, I’ve knocked a few holes in the wall, the door breaking off the hinge when I pull it open.
“Sir,” one of the waiters runs after me. “Sir, you can’t just leave after damaging the place.”
I spin to face him, and something in my expression causes him to take several intelligent steps back.
“Put it on my bill,” I say through clenched teeth.
Fuck this shit, I think as I storm from the restaurant and head to where my bike is parked.
I don’t give a shit what anybody says.
I don’t care who’s marrying who and what hearts will be broken.
Emily Donahue is mine.
She always has been.
And there’s not a single fucking person who will get in my way.
