She went on as if she hadn’t even heard him. She seemed so lost in her thoughts that she was rambling, trying to get it all out, like ridding poison.“And I left because it hurt too bad to stay. But then I came back, because I knew the way I left wasn’t cool. I needed to stop running. Face you. Do this logically. But there I was in the kitchen, feeling like my world had come to an end. I was cold and wanted a cup of hot chocolate and when I opened the cabinet, there was the bottle of pills staring me in the face and I knew if I just took one that I’d feel better, that I’d be better able to cope with the mess that is my life.”“Oh God,” Jace breathed. “Baby.”“I was this close,” she said, holding up her trembling fingers an inch apart. “I was this close to doing it. I had the pill in my mouth. I took a drink of water, fully intending to swallow it. It was right there. At the back of my throat. And then I realized what I was doing. What I almost allowed to happen.”She choked on a sob a

She paused and sucked in deep, steadying breaths.“Go on, baby,” he said gently. “I’m listening. Nothing can hurt you now.”“When I was twelve, Jack was fifteen. He was big for his age. I know he doesn’t look it now. He’s too thin, but when he’s healthy and well fed, he’s a big guy. Tall and broad shouldered. Anyway, we were in a home together and the father . . .”Jace tensed, his entire body bristling with rage. He didn’t like where she was going with this.“The father used to look at me and it worried Jack. Jack would never let me out of his sight or leave me alone with our foster dad. It turned out the father didn’t much care if it was girls or boys.”She shuddered in revulsion, her face going pale. Distress radiated from her in waves. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, turning her face so she could continue speaking. He stroked her hair, trying to offer her comfort in any way he could.“He took that for me,” she whispered. “He put himself in the way every single ti

Her brows furrowed harder and she was silent for a long moment.“Why didn’t you tell me when you gave it to me?”He pushed up to one elbow so they were more eye to eye. He reached out to touch her cheek, caressing the smooth skin. Then he let his fingers drift down to the choker, to the diamond that rested against her throat.“I was afraid that it was too soon. That you wouldn’t fully understand. I didn’t want to pressure you. I was afraid you wouldn’t want it if you knew what it truly meant.”She bit her lip pensively. “But Jace, why would you want me to wear it if I didn’t understand the significance? It’s not real until I know what it means. Any satisfaction you felt at having me wear it had to have been hollow because I didn’t know what it was I wore.”His lips twisted ruefully. “You have me there. And you’re right. For me it was enough to see it around your neck and for me to know what it meant. But you’re correct. It could never mean what it should until you recognized and accep

He glanced down to where Bethany’s dark head lay on his shoulder. She hadn’t stirred either. They’d made love countless times until they’d both fallen into an exhausted sleep.He reached for his cell phone lying on the nightstand and saw that Kaden was calling.“Jace Crestwell,” he answered.“Mr. Crestwell, I thought you’d like to know that Kingston returned to the apartment.”“He’s there now?” Jace asked in a low voice.“Yes, sir. Came in a few minutes ago. Let himself in and he hasn’t left yet.”“Make sure he doesn’t,” Jace said curtly. “I’ll be right over.”“Yes, sir.”Jace disconnected the call as Bethany stirred beside him. She lifted her head and gazed at him with sleepy eyes.“Everything okay?”He kissed her forehead. “I have to go out for a while.” He hesitated a moment. “Jack came back to the apartment.”Her eyes became more alert, shaking off the veil of sleep. “I’ll go with you.”He shook his head. “No. I’ll handle this, Bethany.”She became agitated and before she could wo

“Be good to her,” Jack said quietly.There again in his eyes was that flicker that told Jace that Bethany meant more to Jack than a sibling.“You need to understand this isn’t a temporary thing with me and Bethany,” Jace said, not caring that he was being merciless. Jack needed to understand where Jace stood and that Bethany was never going to be a possibility for Jack.“Yeah, I get it,” Jack muttered. “I knew I never had a chance with her, but she’s always belonged to me.”“Not anymore,” Jace said. “She’s mine and I protect what’s mine. You ever try to hurt her and I’ll crush you.”“Just make her happy. That’s all I ask.”“You can make her happy by cleaning up your act,” Jace pointed out.Resignation was dark and churning in Jack’s eyes. For the first time, Jace got a glimpse of the demons driving the other man. Demons that had once held Bethany in their grip too.“I’ll try,” Jack said flatly.**********Jace and Bethany spent New Year’s Eve with Gabe, Mia and Ash. Things were less a

Bethany drew away, her lips curving ruefully. “I only hope I continue to make him happy. I love him.”“And he loves you,” Mia said matter-of-factly. “It’s so plain to see. I’ve never seen him so gaga over a woman. I have to tell you, it’s astonishing to witness!”The car pulled to a stop in front of another apartment complex, where four women stood waiting. Mia jumped out, pulling Bethany with her.“I’ll make this quick. It’s freezing!” Mia said. “Bethany, I want you to meet my best friends on earth, Caroline, Chessy, Gina and Trish. Guys, this is Jace’s girlfriend, Bethany.”“Ah damn it, Mia, break my heart, why don’t you,” Chessy said dramatically.Bethany looked at the pretty woman in confusion.Mia laughed. “She’s had the hots for Jace forever. It’s slaying her that he’s off the market now.”Bethany burst into laughter. “Sorry. Well, not really.”The others laughed with her.“I wouldn’t be sorry either,” Trish said. “Jace is one fine specimen of a man. You’re a lucky woman, Bethan

A shiver worked over Bethany’s shoulders. “I’d planned to sober up before we went back home. I didn’t want Jace to know I got drunk. He’d worry and probably disapprove. But if what you’re saying is true . . .”Mia bumped into Bethany’s side and threw her arms up in the air. “Oh it’s true,” Mia shouted. “He won’t be able to resist!”“In that case, let’s get our drink on some more!” Bethany shouted back.“After we give Gabe a show he won’t soon forget,” Mia said with a wink.Bethany laughed and the two got into the beat of the music. Caroline joined them a moment later, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling with happiness. The three put on a show that later would mortify Bethany when she thought back on it, but it was so much fun, and she couldn’t remember the last time she’d really let loose and had such a fabulous time.When the song ended, Mia grabbed Bethany’s arm and the two fell all over each other getting back to the table where, predictably, the waitress was waiting with anoth

He chuckled, his breath sizzling over her bare neck just before he pressed his mouth to her nape, sending chill bumps racing down her spine. “Oh, you’re drunk. And you’re cute as hell. I’m going to fuck your mouth, your pussy and that sweet ass. If you pass out on me, I’m not going to be pleased.”She closed her eyes, weaving unsteadily until he caught her shoulders and pulled her back against his chest as he let her dress fall to the floor. No way in hell she was going to miss this.“Love the lingerie,” he whispered as he nuzzled just behind her ear. “Love those heels even more. And yeah, I’m absolutely going to fuck you in them.”A low whimper of need welled in her throat.“Don’t see any reason to tie you up tonight,” he said in amusement. “You’re as helpless as a kitten. I’m liking it. I’m thinking a regular girls’ night out would be a very good thing.”He unfastened her bra and lowered the straps down her arms before tossing it aside. Then he turned her around to face him and back
