CHAPTER 15

This was the stuff nightmares were made of.

Walking into your woman’s house to find another man standing there in his underwear. Shit!

In the space of microseconds, several emotions lanced through Greyson as he stared at Charlie. First was shock. This wasn’t what he’d signed up for when he’d driven over to pick up Snow. If he’d known that Charlie was around (let alone lolling around half-naked), Greyson would’ve called first – or not come at all. Then came jealousy – that green-eyed monster speared through him with the ferocity of lightning striking him. It was swiftly followed by anger – the red, hot emotion bubbled from his belly and flushed into the rest of his body until it felt like he was actually boiling.

“Who are you?” Charlie repeated just as Snow walked into the living room. Unlike Charlie, she was dressed, but it looked like she’d just done it because she was still pulling her tank-top down her torso.

Greyson’s fists curled into a tight ball as fresh anger spurted through him. He was angry at her and Charlie, but mostly he was angry at himself. How could he not have seen this coming? This is what he got for chasing after a woman who was just coming out of a long relationship. This was all his fault.

Feeling like he was forcing a stone past his throat, Greyson said, “I think I got the wrong apartment.”

“Greyson!” Snow called out as if to keep him in place but Greyson was already turning on his heels. Within a few strides he was out of the building and heading towards his car.

“Greyson, wait!” She was right behind him. Panting, she called out, “Greyson, let me explain.”

He didn’t want to wait. He didn’t want to listen to her explanation. He didn’t want to have his suspicions confirmed because it would make this whole situation more painful. He yanked open the car door but before he could get into the driver’s seat, Snow grabbed his blue sweater then pulled him back. A second later, she locked her arms around his waist.

“Don’t go.” Her voice, breathless and panicked, vibrated over his back and her arms tightened around his waist. “It’s not what you think. I swear.”

He wanted to say that the problem wasn’t his thoughts. It was his vision. He’d seen what he’d seen and didn’t need an explanation to know what was going on.

“Let me explain,” she pleaded. “Please?”

Maybe it was that pleading. Maybe it was because part of him still wanted to believe that his eyes had been deceived. Maybe it was because of how tight she was holding onto him – like he was more than a rebound to her. But he found himself turning stiffly in her arms.

“It’s not what you think,” she repeated breathlessly once they were face to face.

He only stared at her, noting how troubled and disheveled she looked. A glance downwards revealed that she was barefoot. He supposed he should’ve been grateful that he was worth being chased
