The room felt about ten times larger when Grayson left to go back to the bunks. He was a huge guy, there was no denying that, but even more than that, his presence filled every space. For someone who barely talked, there was a charisma and sense of danger that surrounded him, and I found my focus drifting his way, even when he was busy doing something else.

Something like protecting me from a fucking roadblock.

Those state troopers hadn’t suspected I was onboard, so they hadn’t pushed anything, but it was clear the Ricci family was stepping up the search for me to the next level. I’d heard enough to know there was a photo of me. There was an accusation of murder…

Liz’s lifeless face flashed across my vision, and I had to swallow hard multiple times to stop myself from vomiting across the table. The charcuterie board almost made an appearance again, but somehow, I managed to keep it contained.

Fucking fuck. They were too powerful. Would I even be able to disappear in a city as huge as New York? Would I have to change my appearance and name completely this time? Or would I end up on the streets trying to keep myself clothed, fed, and unmolested?

Our gazes locked for a moment, and even as the voice inside my head screamed at me to look away, run away, that tonight, with everything else, I couldn’t handle the venom in his gaze, I couldn’t bring myself to break the stare.

It had been too long since I’d stared into those depthless blue eyes, tracking the minute color changes as his mood went from playful to sexy to alpha. He had the ability to be all three in the same moment, but his eyes always gave away which part of him was the most in charge.

This late afternoon, in the low light of the bus, his eyes looked almost black.

A color I’d never seen until the day I broke both our hearts.

“I deserve an explanation,” he said suddenly, husky tones lower than usual.

The demand was so unexpected that it took me at least two minutes to respond as my brain scrambled to make sense of what he was wanting.

“An explanation?” I finally bit out, anger surging to life inside of me. “You think you deserve an explanation? After the fucking life you went on to live while I
