Chapter 3

Isaac’s wearing his black, leather jacket and his white riding helmet is tucked under his arm. His brown hair is tousled in just that right way—it drives me crazy even though I want nothing to do with him. There’s something different about his face, though. It’s tight, with lines of concern creasing the corners of his bright, gray eyes. He looks like he hasn’t slept in days even though it’s only been one night since I last saw him.

“What are you doing here?” I repeat, straightening myself under the weight of his weary stare.

His look hardens a little as he sizes me up. His stare is so intense I wonder if he’s trying to look straight through me. I hold myself firm, refusing to show any signs of weakness. How in the world did Tawny not see him in the hallway? Did he wait for her to leave before he came to the door?

“Well?” I repeat.

“May I come in?” His voice sounds just as weary as he looks.

For an instant, I almost open the door for him. It’s a subconscious reaction, but I’m quick to get it in check.

“Whatever you have to say can be said right there.”

“Come on, kitten. Can’t we talk like adults?”

My eyes flash.

“Do not call me that. I am not your kitten.”

His brow pinches a little lower as I glare at him. But that’s the only reaction he displays. His breathing is still soft and even. What in the world does it take to rattle this man? Doesn’t he know how pissed off I am? Why won’t he show some damned emotions?

“Fine, no kitten talk. But can we at least be civilized?”

“Civilized? Lying to my face…is that what you consider civilized?”

I’m practically shouting at him.

“Bloody hell woman, there’s no need to shout, I’m standing right in front of you.”

He gives a quick glance up and down the hall, as though concerned one of my neighbors will overhear me causing a scene.

“Now you’re worried that someone might notice us? Convenient how that didn’t occur to you when you decided to have your way with me out there a week ago, isn’t it?”

I shouldn’t have brought it up. My body lurches on the inside at the thought of what we did out in that hallway. It was still one of the craziest, hottest things I’ve ever done, and my body has been craving more of the same ever since.

I quickly try to reel my emotions in. I have to keep them in check. I’m already vulnerable enough, if they get away from me then who knows what I will do.

Isaac’s eyes flash dangerously when they reconnect with mine.

“Don’t you play all helpless,” he spits back at me. “You wanted that every bit as much as I did. You can’t go blaming me for everything.”

My pulse is racing—I just wish it were for the right reasons.

“What about all of the lies? What about the fact that you knew exactly who I was before we ever even met? What
