Sin stood watching as I packed a bag full of essential items. With Ethan coming to the door, Sin said he couldn’t take the chance of someone else showing up. So I put my shoes on and prepared to leave my apartment without a clue to where I’d end up.

“Are you ready to go yet?” he asked impatiently.

“Hold your horses. I’m almost done,” I said as I tied my hair back in a ponytail and slipped on a pair of flats. “Where are we going anyway?”

“You ask too many questions. Just hurry before another one of your sexually unsatisfying boy toys shows up dressed like an astronaut or something equally crazy,” he said sarcastically.

Ethan showing up dressed like a cop was embarrassing, but more than the embarrassment was the anger I felt toward myself for not taking the chance to relay a message to Ethan when I had the chance. He could have been my savior. My apartment could already be surrounded by real cops ready to save my ass.

I didn’t bother correcting him. My personal life was none of his business. I stood and grabbed my bag. Making sure everything in my apartment was turned off, I walked behind him to the front door.

“When we get outside, don’t pull any stupid shit. If you do, you’ll only make it worse on yourself. Understand?”

I nodded my understanding.

“Say it, Red. I want to hear you say you understand.”

“I got it,” I growled.

I was already over being treated like a piece of shit and after all of his comments about my father, I was done. As soon as I got a chance, I was gone. It didn’t matter what threats he made. I needed to get away from him.

With him following closely behind me, we made our way down the stairs to the bottom floor. My duffle bag was heavy, but I turned down his offer to carry it for me. The last thing I needed was for him to think I was weak. I had to stay strong, and even if I wasn’t, I had to portray a strength that could frighten him into not hurting me.

Of course the whole strong, independent woman persona I was passing off went to shit the minute my shoe caught a piece of jagged concrete and I tripped down the next stair.

Thankfully, I missed my skull and only my ass caught the hard step beneath me. Also, it was a good thing Sin had been in front of me. Instead of falling down an entire set of stairs, I only fell down three.

He reached out and grabbed my hand to pull me up.

“I told you not to touch me again,” I snapped as I pulled my hand from his.

“I’m just trying to help you up. Let me help.” He reached for my arm again, but again I yanked it from his grasp. “Damn it, Emily, let me help you.”

As much as I hated to admit it, I loved the way he said my name. It was the first time he’d called me Emily without disdain behind it.
