Since his favorite brunch café was only a few blocks from his apartment building, Marcus suggested they walk. He held Leah’s hand, enjoying her face as she studied the neighborhood. It was an eclectic mix of high rise apartments, Victorians, and bungalows turned into businesses.

“I love it here,” she said, smiling up at him. With her flat shoes on, instead of the heels she wore at the office, he could tuck her under his chin if he pulled her into his arms. He would never get enough of feeling her warm, soft, curvy body against him. “What are you thinking, Marcus? There’s quite a gleam in your eyes.”

“What I want for brunch. Who I want for after brunch.”

She blushed, and his already hard cock strained against the zipper of his jeans.

Down, boy. She’s all ours.

Marcus had left his glasses at the apartment, wanting to be able to lean in and kiss her on a whim, and not have them get in the way.

They turned on to the street where the café stood, and on impulse he pulled Leah into the narrow alley that ran alongside the kitchen.

“Marcus—”

“Need a kiss.” He pinned her against the brick wall, brushed loose curls off her cheek, then traced her beautiful lips with his finger. The light sheen of the lip balm she’d applied in the elevator enhanced their natural pink. “What flavor?”

She swallowed. “Vanilla mint.”

“My new favorite.”

He framed her face with his hands and captured those sweet, full lips. Her low moan had him deepening the kiss, taking her deeper into his heart. God help him, he loved her. He never thought he’d ever feel like this, or find a woman who brought his heart to life like Leah did. She was everything to him, and he planned to—

“Creature of habit, aren’t you, Marcus.”

The familiar voice spun him around, and his heart pounded. “Tanya.” Leah gasped, and he made sure to keep himself between her and the crazy woman standing in front of him, a knife in her hand. “There’s no need to do anything—”

“Stupid? Crazy? I am a woman scorned, Marcus. You forced me to watch you as you cheated on me, with her,” she sneered at Leah. “In front of all those people!”

Marcus fought to keep calm. He wanted to jump Tanya, but the knife forced his hand. Leah’s protection came first.

“We are not a couple, Tanya. We haven’t been for more than three years now.”

“You know I love you.” Her dark eyes looked wild, though the rest of her was as outrageous and colorful as usual. “It’s time to leave her, Marcus, and come home.”

“No.”

Leah gripped his arm, leaned up to whisper to him. “Go with her. I’ll call the police—”

He shook his head, once, his gaze never leaving Tanya. Fury twisted her face, and she stared at Leah’s hand on his arm.

“Let me go, sweetheart.”

Leah did, her breathing fast and scared.

Tanya’s face relaxed. “Come on, lover. We have so much time to make up for.”

“I told you, no. This ends here, Tanya.
