Havoc

I stepped into the hot spray of the dual head shower and groaned with pleasure. The water beat down on me and eased some of the tension in my shoulders. It’d been a hell of a day yesterday. I’d come back to my apartment last night riding the high after crossing another name off my list. That hadn’t lasted long once Nico got his hands on me.

The man was a riddle I couldn’t solve. He was sexy as sin, could literally do anything he wanted in this city, was rich, and for some reason he wanted me. There wasn’t anything special about me. I was a cop turned farmer turned criminal who was a broken woman. Maybe he was a fixer, I mused. There were a lot of people who had to take on a partner they could fix.

I wasn’t sure, but ultimately it didn’t matter. I’d been serious when I told him I wasn’t staying here with him. The only thing I was living for right now was my revenge. The way Nico made me feel was going to have to go on the back burner to be examined later—if ever.

I had so many unexpected emotions connected to the man I wasn’t sure what to do with them. It seemed disrespectful and more than a little painful that I felt anything toward him. Tony had been the love of my life and a good man. I didn’t know how to let go of him or the way we’d loved each other in order to move on with someone else. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to.

We’d discussed it once before, what we wanted the other to do if anything ever happened to one of us. We’d agreed that if one of us died young we would want the other to find love again. Saying it at the time and doing it now were two completely different things, though.

Not to mention, Nico was as opposite of Tony as he could be. I shook my head and realized silent tears were streaming down my cheeks. I dunked my head under the spray and let it wash them away.

I’d just wrapped a huge navy towel around me when a knock came at the door. I peeked my head out of the bathroom as the man who’d come in with the maids earlier walked in the door.

“Ah, sorry,” he said, averting his eyes since I was standing there in nothing but a towel. “Boss wants you downstairs for dinner in an hour.” He laid the garment bag he was carrying on the bed and set a shoe box at the foot of it. He rummaged around in Nico’s closet then left the room without another word.

I went over and opened the bag. Inside was a gorgeous, royal blue dress. The fabric shimmered as I trailed a finger over it. I zipped the bag back up and looked at the note taped to the hanger.

It reminded me of your eyes -Nico.
