CHAPTER NINETEEN

NERO

Turning the key in the ignition, my car roars to life and I pull away from the house, spinning the wheels as I slide along the path and onto the road. The twenty-minute journey down into Rockhead Point passes in a red haze that tinges my vision and seems to make the minutes move both too fast and too slow.

There’s nothing safe about the way I speed down the winding roads, but right now, I don’t care. I’m too eager to get to Tori and fucking throttle her, or maybe spank her, or just fuck her until this rage is purged from my body.

I was pissed the day Miranda brought her two lovers with her on our date, and the three of them tried to convince me to become the fourth member of their poly group. But the anger I felt then has nothing on the pure, unadulterated rage I’ve been feeling since I read the words she thoughtlessly wrote on that slip of fucking paper.

She didn’t even leave me a forwarding address, but although I don’t know where she’s living, I do know where she works. Turning up at her job is an asshole thing to do, but right now I don’t care. I need to see her, need her to explain what the fuck she thinks she’s doing and then I’m taking her home.

Haphazardly abandoning my car in a space across the street from the bakery, I march along the sidewalk and throw open the glass door with more force than I intend.

Ignoring him, I stride behind the counter, intent on getting to the kitchen and Tori.

“Sir, stop. You can’t go back there,” he says. “Hey.”

I’m not gentle when I barge past him. I’m a big guy and I have at least six inches and fifty pounds on him, so there’s no way he’s going to stop me from getting where I want to go.

I vaguely hear him telling someone to call the cops, but I don’t stop. When I step into the kitchen, it’s empty, the counters and workspace immaculately clean, the steel-topped tables shining with nothing but a covered cake cooling on a rack.

“Tori,” I yell. “Tori, get out here,” I yell again when she doesn’t appear.

It takes me a moment to spot the door she led me through the last time I was here when she took me upstairs to a small office. Grabbing the handle, it turns beneath my grip and I pull it open, stomping up the stairs.

“Tori, you better get out here, woman.”

“Nero?” She appears from the room we were in before, her brow furrowed and confusion laced across her expression. “What are you doing here?”

A dry, angry laugh bursts from my lips. “Are
