Was it possible to hate someone as much as you loved them?

Karina had been asking herself that question from the moment they’d sat back at the table as if nothing had happened—as if the entire room hadn’t still been staring at them even after all the commotion was over. But the only one who seemed to care about this was her.

Uilleam had merely placed a napkin back in his lap before he continued eating, and Kit had merely looked quizzical a moment before he started the conversation back up.

Not even after the plates had been cleared away and the restaurant emptied did she know what to even think about what had happened, but the more time that passed, the more she didn’t like where her thoughts were going.

The more she hated how Uilleam had responded at the slightest provocation.

It was unnecessary and barbaric.

And no matter how she tried to excuse it in her head, she couldn’t.

“You’re not still cross with me, are you?” he asked as they entered her apartment, stepping around the many boxes that littered her floor.

Because she was moving in with him. She’d already thought it was a bit soon, and after tonight ... she wasn’t sure what to think anymore.

“What you did tonight was unnecessary.”

“Was it?” he asked, though everything about his tone and the way he tilted his head to the side made the question feel mocking. “If you challenge a man like me, you’ll never like how I respond. He knew that before he ever stepped foot inside that restaurant.”

He tried to make it sound reasonable—as if that was the only thing that made sense. “Do you truly think it made a difference that you didn’t pull the trigger? Had it been loaded and he shot himself—you would have still provided the bullet.”

Karina tugged off her heels, tossing them aside as she pulled at the pins in her hair next. Anything to keep herself distracted so she wouldn’t have to look at him.

But he didn’t give her a choice.

As quickly as she was moving toward her bedroom—that would very well not be her own for much longer—he spun her around to force her to face him. If she was expecting understanding, she got none. He didn’t seem to regret his actions at all.

“What would you have me do?” he asked, catching her jaw in his hand when she meant to turn away.

Uilleam had never been harsh with her, had never made her fear him with his touch, but she could still feel the difference in him now with even as gentle as he was being.

Tonight, it seemed, he wanted her attention, and he wasn’t taking no for an answer.

“You have something to say,” he said with a slight inclination of his head, “then say it. I’m listening.”

There was no use in trying to push him away, not with the hold he had on her. Besides, she had never been one to shy away from how she felt. “You don’t have to make everyone fear you.
