CHAPTER 12
Standing on the other side of Sydney’s bedroom door, Maksim felt that unfamiliar warmth that had been growing inside flash-freeze and shatter. It splintered, the shards cutting deep. It doesn’t matter. None of this matters, he tried to tell himself as pain stole his breath.
How could he have been so stupid as to open himself to her? How had he forgotten what he knew to be true of people? They were selfish. They lied. And they hurt.
The urge to rip the door out of his way and storm into the bedroom to demand who the fuck Andrew was rode him hard. So hard his vision spiderwebbed, and he was soon panting from the effort it took to stay in the hallway.
I don’t know what I would have done if something had happened to you today. You’re the very best part of my life, and I love you more than you’ll ever know.
He staggered back as those quiet words reverberated through his head again. Fucking untrustworthy, selfish, self-serving, backstabbing people!
How the fuck had he missed her involvement with another man? How had they all missed this? He’d had four men hanging in her club since this began, and not one of them had seen her steal a minute with this guy? His boys were there until five in the fucking morning!
Maybe the fuck was married, and he and Sydney had to keep a low profile.
Entirely possible. Clearly she lacked morals. One minute allowing him to maul her into an orgasm, the next professing her love to some sucker probably hiding in his backyard so his wife wouldn’t overhear him talking to his lover.
Christ!
Spinning away, he plowed his way to the master bedroom and went straight through to the bathroom to have the hottest shower on record. He felt . . . betrayed. He’d just shared the deepest, darkest part of himself with her, telling her of his past . . . and within minutes she’d disregarded it as if it were nothing, had forgotten him, pushed him from her mind, and engaged the man she loved.
But she’d responded to him with that beautiful abandon that had seemed so genuine. Your women can’t tell when you’re only half there either, a timid voice whispered in the back of his mind.
Was this karma?
Had Sydney been imagining he was Andrew during their time together? When she came for him, as she touched him, while he had his fingers inside her, had she been imagining he was another man? A man she loved with all her heart. He’d heard it in her voice. The purity of her feelings. She hadn’t hid a goddamn thing when declaring herself just now. She’d been open and honest with that guy in a way she’d never been with him.
Fuck. Maks slammed the lever down to cut the water off and hung his head. Deception was such a nasty bitch. It hurt. Stung. Created such embarrassment once you found out how far off your thoughts had been from the other person’s.
