Walk away. You re tarnishing her just by being near her.
No. He couldn t walk away any more than he could stop breathing. In a burst of speed, Daniel
grasped her around the waist and dropped her onto the dining room table, her bare thighs slapping on
the surface. He spoke around the steel band gripping his throat. Now, gorgeous girl. What dirty little
secret were you going to tell me? Let me know when I m getting warm. His thumbs drew lazy circles
on the insides of her knees. Were you going to tell me that you woke up after our night together, all
tight and wet for me, wishing I was still there to take care of you?
No, she moaned, her thighs parting ever so slightly wider in way he knew was unconscious for
her, contradicting her words. She couldn t help wanting him any more than he could help the dark,
possessive cloud that had settled over him, guiding his actions.
No? He echoed against her neck, where he swirled patterns on her skin with his tongue. Were
you going to ask me to bite you harder next time? Perhaps on your hip or that sexy part of your thigh
just beneath your ass.
M-maybe, Story gasped, surprising him. He d meant his words to shock her, but judging from the
way she shifted restlessly on the table, they only served to arouse her further.
He swallowed the urge to spread her legs and pound away his frustration, jealousy, and lust. Just a
little longer. Were you going to tell me you ve never been fucked so thoroughly in your life?
Yes, Daniel.
A darkly primal growl originated in his belly and rumbled through his chest. Just a little further. He
needed something more from her, but he could barely discern what that something was over the hunger
blanketing his thoughts. Daniel slid his hand between her legs and crooked his middle finger just
slightly. Then I believe that grants me exclusive rights to this.
Story gasped and pushed hard against his chest. For long moments, they stared at each other,
attempting to catch their breath. Seeing the confusion on her face finally brought him out of his hostile
state, to be immediately replaced by panic and self-loathing.
Jesus, Daniel. With jerky motions, she stood and straightened her skirt. What is wrong with
you?
He dropped heavily into the dining room chair. I don t know. God, I m so sorry. He knew he
should get up and leave the apartment, never contact her again. He d be doing her a favor. She should
be demanding he leave. Maybe she already had. He couldn t remember.
Story ran a shaky hand through her hair. I don t understand why you felt the need to go there.
What could he say? He d been pushed over the edge by some goddamn flowers? He d carefully
constructed a persona that he slipped into around women, but around her, he couldn t keep it up.
Maybe this was the real him. If that was the case, she should be running in the opposite direction.
There is no explanation for the way you make me feel. A few days ago we were standing in front of a
vending machine and now we re here. Nothing so far has been& explainable. He blew out an
exasperated breath. We were just supposed to talk about books, goddammit.
Daniel looked up at her from his seated position, watching as she absorbed his words, determined
his fate. Whatever she decided, he would take it like a man. He would fucking hate walking away
from her, but he d known from the beginning that she deserved better. And he d just proven it to her
beyond a shadow of a doubt. How everything had gone to absolute shit within ten minutes, he could
hardly fathom.
No one has exclusive rights to me. Except me. She pierced him with a look. You just made me
feel& really cheap.
He jerked as if she d slapped him again. Oh sunshine, if anyone s cheap, it s me.
She swayed a little on her feet, his apology only seeming to upset her further. When Daniel couldn t
stand her silence anymore, he finally spoke up. So what happens now?
After a long, torturous moment when she stood debating, Story finally walked to the couch and
picked up her purse. I guess we go watch some goddamn baseball.

On the half-hour ride to Queens they stayed mostly silent, Daniel glancing at her every few minutes as
