CHAPTER NINE

Xavier

What just happened?

It takes all my willpower not to rush from this room, grab Caroline by the arm and haul her back inside. In the seconds that she’s out of my sight, I miss her acutely. It’s like some vital part of my body has been sliced away.

Which is crazy. Ridiculous.

But dammit, it’s also fucking true.

Running my hands through my hair, I scrub them down the couple days of growth on my face. Dammit. I feel exposed this way. I liked the beard, but growing it back out is pure hell.

Just like life post-Caroline Murphy will be.

Why?

I can’t figure it out. She’s beautiful, but no more so than any other woman I’ve fucked. She’s sexy. Smart. Dryly funny. There is no one thing that makes her different from the rest.

But I’m different with her.

I damn laughed during sex. I was damn tender with her. And god, I miss her, even though she walked away without a second glance.

Turning away from the door that I’m staring at, hoping it will open again, I head into the bathroom and turn on the shower. I’ll go back into the club, I’ll mingle with my guests before going to my office to work for a few hours.

Stepping under the icy water, I wash off, rinsing her scent away. That will help too. Our time is over. I only see a woman once for a reason. I have rules.

But they’re my rules to keep or break.

Hell, I’d already broken rules with her. Kissing, for one. And I’d removed her ties. I never have sex with the woman unbound. What the total fuck had that been about?

Shivering from the cold, I step out of the shower and towel off briskly, like I’m trying to remove her touch from my skin. Getting dressed, I leave the room where her presence taunts me.

Maybe she’s still in the club. She wants to interview the subs, after all.

And if she is?

If she is… I don’t know what I’ll do.

“You okay, man?”

Looking up, I realize I’m standing in the middle of the hallway, Logan giving me a curious look.

I rake my hand through my hair. Damn, it’s still wet.

“Yeah. Just thinking.”

He steps closer, curiosity transforming to worry. “Yeah, that girl must have been thinking too.”

My gaze snaps to his. “Caroline? Why do you say that?”

“Because I found her running down this same hallway, tears streaming down her face.”

My heart slams against my ribs. “Where is she?”

I start to move past Logan, and he steps in my way. “She’s gone, man. Thomas was waiting, and I put her in a car. X… what happened?”

How can I explain what happened when I don’t even know myself?

I attempt to move around him again. Again, Logan steps in my way. Irritation burns under my skin. “Get out of my way.”

“No. What happened?”

Grinding my teeth together, I have an image of my fist slamming into Logan’s face and force myself to take a deep breath. “I don’t know. It was good, then she seemed in a hurry to go.
