“Just a little further, sugarpie. I want to make you scream, and you don’t want the others to hear you,” he said.

“They’re pretty far away, and the music is too loud,” I replied.

“I’m not taking any chances.”

“Then I’ll try to keep quiet. Or bite my fist, whatever those porn actresses do.”

He raised his eyebrow at me, a dangerous smirk tugging at his lips. “Already watching porn, sugarpie?”

“Nope, but I suppose you do. I wouldn’t want to disappoint you.”

He pushed me against the tree and kissed me. His tongue snaked around mine as his hands slid down my waist and ass, and it felt nice . . .

This was what I wanted.

I was ready.

I snapped open my eyes, breathing loudly in the dark of my room. My pulse and mind ran rampant. I pushed the covers off me and got out of my bed, willing the images, sounds, and his voice away. All those months of therapy and all that effort, for what? He could still get to me in my nightmares or when I was too emotionally vulnerable.

Like now, when I had to deal with the aftermath of Steven’s death and my conflicted feelings toward a guy I should hate more than anything.

Unable to stand the fabric of my pajamas brushing against my heated skin anymore, I took them off and put on my hand wraps. I slammed my fist into the punching bag, seeking refuge in the pain that doused the demons of the past.

More than three years had passed, but I wasn’t okay. I’d found ways to cope with it, but those couldn’t save me from my broken mind day in, day out. I couldn’t be a normal girl who could let anyone too close to her or fall in love.

That was why, when I thought about Masen, I was supposed to feel the usual fear and aversion that was like an impenetrable wall between me and the male sex. But there was none. Nothing. One big, fat zero.

And what the hell had that been? For a crazy moment there, it had looked as though he was going to kiss me, and the only reasonable explanation I could think of was that it had been his attempt to seduce me just so he could brag he’d managed to nail me. It would be like his biggest conquest and unmistakable proof of his allure.

So why I still couldn’t get Masen out of my mind? I was replaying that moment on fucking repeat, and it was frustrating the hell out of me. Like it actually mattered. It didn’t. It wasn’t important at all. It had just been a whim. Evidence of how rotten he was. A game because he was—what had he said? Ah, yes—bored.

I kicked the punching bag and let out a frustrated grunt. I had to focus on what was important, not on his virtues or fleeting good moments. Not when his flaws were like a billboard that screamed “Run away and never look back” or “Kick the bastard where the sun doesn’t shine.
