By the time the door opens behind me, the hero is on his knees, giving my heroine the most exquisite oral pleasure she’s ever received.

Which, of course, is why Matt chooses this exact moment to walk in.

Why didn’t I lock the damn door?

It takes a second for me to come back to reality; I was so wrapped up in my work and what was turning out to be a very steamy scene.

“Don’t you ever knock? And now, you’re interrupting my work. I was finally in a groove with this damn book, and you come strolling in.”

All that, and I haven’t even turned around yet.

“Wow. Anything else you want to accuse me of? Just get it all out of the way now. There was a cab stolen around the corner earlier this morning. Maybe I did that too.”

I spin in my chair, and if there isn’t fire flashing in my eyes—literal flames—I’d be surprised. He even takes a step back when he sees me.

“Okay, okay. I was a dick last night. I thought I’d buy you lunch to make up for it.”

“Lunch? You think sesame tofu and an egg roll are going to make up for what you did last night? And you’re admitting you were a dick too! The nerve!”

“You know what? I didn’t come over here to be yelled at.” He holds up his hands, surrendering. “I was trying to make it up to you.”

“You can’t just make it up to me. This isn’t right, none of it.”

“What does that mean? What are you talking about?” Now, his arms are folded, which I know means he’s on the defensive. He’s ready for war.

“You deliberately got in the way last night. You admitted it, and you admitted you were a dick about it. Why would you do that? Why help me meet Luke and then stand in the way of me spending time with him? What game are you playing?”

“Who said I’m playing a game? I don’t have time for that.”

“Bull. You’re lying.” I stand, facing him. “It’s one thing for us to joke around and get on each other’s nerves, but you have never deliberately stood in my way before. You’ve never sabotaged me.”

“Valentine, you’re letting your imagination—”

“Don’t talk down to me.” My voice is a hiss, sharp and dangerous, even to my own ears. “You’re in my apartment right now, and you didn’t even bother knocking. You walk in here like you own the place; you play games with my work!”

He rolls his eyes.

“Yes, my work!” I insist.

He clearly does not feel the same. “He’s a person. A good guy. He’s not your work. None of these guys you’ve dated are work. They’re people. And you … you …”

“Use them? Is that what you’re trying to say? I use people? Because let me tell you, you’re not saying anything I haven’t already thought before. But you know what else? I go into these new books and new relationships openly. With hope. Maybe it’ll work out this time. Maybe this is the right person.
