Time had passed slowly since I’d received Isa’s message yesterday. I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out why she’d contacted me, secretly hoping that she wanted another round. Ever since learning about her mother’s death, I’d been almost certain that she’d taken my bullet because she was concerned. I was excited for another chance with her.

After a quick workout, I took a hot shower and dabbed on some cologne. The steam from the shower cleared from my mirror, and I caught a glimpse of my face.

I would never get used to my reflection. The droopy eye, the non-existent ear, the skin that looked like it had been slashed by a serial killer. A lump grew in my throat, and I closed my eye.

I threw on a black T-shirt and some cargo shorts and paced around my place.

A chime rang out—Isa was downstairs. Adrenaline rushed through my body, the same feeling I had when I stepped out on the battlefield.

I buzzed her in and stood by the door.

Before I saw her, I heard her steps. Heels for sure, delicate little taps coming down the hallway. Her scent filled the air—fresh, fruity, fascinating.

Damn, she was beautiful.

She wore one of those loose T-shirts and tight skinny jeans that showed off her juicy ass. Her hair cascaded past her shoulders, and I wanted to run my fingers through it while she screamed my name.

“Hey, beautiful.” I pulled her to me and gave her a hug, my cock pressing against her crotch.

“Hey. It’s good to see you. How are you?” Her voice was cautious yet soothing.

“Good.” I didn’t have any tolerance for small talk. I wanted to know why she wrote me. I wanted to know exactly why she ran out the other night. I wanted to know why she stole my bullet.

After I released her, she headed to the sofa. My mind flashed to remembering her perfect naked ass perched up as I took her from behind.

She rubbed her hands down her jeans and every inch of me desired her.

I stared at her chest. “Do you want a drink?”

“No, I’m good.” She ran her tongue over her teeth, and her gaze darted across the room.

My gut gnarled. Something was up. She wasn’t making eye contact with me, and I suspected that it wasn’t just because of my face. “What’s up?”

“I just wanted to see you.”

Nice non-answer. “Well, now you’ve seen me.”

She pulled on her hair. “Well, I don’t want you to think I only came over here to ask you for a favor.”

A favor? I clenched my fists. My heart felt like it was literally shrinking. Of course she wanted something from me—these days everyone did. A woman that beautiful could never be interested in dating a man as grotesque as me. I hated myself for believing for a second that I had a chance with her. For believing that if someone could fall in love with me, then maybe I could love myself.

She pursed her lips. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” What did this bitch want? I nodded toward her.
