Chapter 12

Before Jan knew it, they were back at her apartment, Xander striding into her place and pacing as she shut the door behind them.

“You said we needed to talk,” Janet said, setting aside her keys and taking her shoes off, trying to ignore the sense of nervous anticipation inside her. “What’s this about specifically?”

Xander ran a hand through his thick blond hair, mussing it as he looked away for a moment. But when he turned to face her, his gaze nearly pinned her in place, blue eyes blazing with frustration.

“What was that back at the bar?” he asked, brows furrowed.

“What was what?”

“You and Taylor. I saw you blushing, saw your reaction to him.”

Janet nearly laughed. “He’s your friend. We were just talking.”

Xander stopped pacing long enough to glare at her. “It looked like flirting.”

She blinked, unsure why he was so jealous. “Xander…”

“I know,” he said, frustrated, tugging his hand through his hair again. “I know what you said this morning and that you think I have no right, but I know there’s something between us, even if you want to deny it.”

She sighed, and her hands tightened into fists at her sides. “I know there’s something between us.”

“Then why did you push me away this morning? Why do you always have to push me away?” He ran a hand through his hair, mussing it. “I don’t want to see other people, Janet. I only want to see you.”

She stared at him blankly, feeling confused but frankly a little flattered.

She hadn’t expected him to get so worked up over her. She’d thought him a player. Someone who didn’t take feelings seriously.

She realized now she hadn’t been fair. And even though it was terrifying, from here on out, she would try to be fair to him. Try to treat him as if he wasn’t going to hurt her.

Which was hard.

Xander glared, keeping his eyes pinned on hers. God, that color. Jan felt her body responding to his attention, warming under his gaze.

He turned abruptly, walking over to the end table by her couch to pick up a book. He waved at her frustratedly. “You live in these books, Janet. You want a hero? He’s here. It’s me. What can this guy do that I can’t?”

She snorted. “Well, for one thing, that one scene where he—”

Xander’s blue eyes were ice cold. “I can do that.”

She flushed violently, trying not to think about it. “But—”

His lip curled up on one side in a sneer. “Easy.”

Janet gulped, nervous and turned on at the same time to be called out so directly. He challenged her right from the start. She did like that about him.

All her life, she’d kept men at arm’s length, satisfied simply to enjoy her fantasies and the privacy of her own self-satisfaction.

Xander was breaking the rules.

And Janet didn’t want him to stop.

“If you want me to run away so badly, why do your eyes keep begging me not to go?”

She felt pinned to her spot, her heart beating wildly, trapped against emotions she’d promised herself she’d never feel.
