“I don’t understand you. You blackmail me into sucking you off, trick me into swallowing you, and then I don’t hear from you for days, and suddenly you’re demanding a date?”
“For someone who claims he doesn’t understand, you seem to have expressed everything perfectly.”
I grind my teeth, the tension in my jaw giving me a headache.
“Well, you didn’t ask, but no, thanks.” I hang up on him. I’m sure that’ll piss him the hell off, but I give zero fucks, considering what a dick he’s been.
I turn my phone on silent. The fucking nerve of that asshole. I might have to admit to being his, but I won’t be ordered around like this.
Although, as I step into the shower, I have a feeling I just made a huge mistake.

KILLIAN
I’m going tomurder him. Fuck what Dad wanted. Fuck any agreement between our families. No one hangs up on Killian Lorde.
I bang on Hayward’s front door, barely thinking straight as I glare at the surveillance camera. I shouldn’t be here, but when he wouldn’t answer my call for the ninth time, I was annoyed enough to pay him a visit. He didn’t realize I was just outside his place when we were chatting, but now he’s about to find out what a psychopath I really am.
It’s only a moment before one of their guys, Enzo, opens the door. “I have a meeting with Logan,” is as much as I say, Jaime and Krychek flanking me.
“Let me just check on him,” Enzo says. “I think he’s in the shower.”
“This is important. It can’t wait.”
“Oh, okay, sir.” Enzo leads me up through the house, and this must be creating a real big fuss because in no time, he has two additional security details right on our tail as we head to Logan’s room.
I can’t wait to see Logan’s face when I remind him why he can’t treat a Lorde that way.
As we near the room, I notice the keypad on the door.
“Open it,” I tell Enzo, who looks to his guys uneasily.
“If you sever ties with my family, you know as well as I do that you and everyone in this house are dead anyway, so whydon’t you be a good boy and do as you’re told? I’m sure Logan will appreciate it.”
Enzo hesitates but then inputs the code, which I memorize in case I’ll need it in the future. As he opens the door, he’s about to call in, but I place my forefinger over my lips, which makes his expression twist up.
I rush in, my fury at its peak as I enter the en suite, where I find Logan stripped naked, loofahing off. His gaze shifts my way, wide-eyed as I storm into the walk-in shower, seizing him by his arm and yanking him out.
“How in the fuck did you—”
“I was already outside,” I inform him as he lurches at me, fists flying.
I take hold of his wrists and shove him against the wall adjacent to the shower. I do my best to restrain the violent rage that storms within me, wanting to tear apart something,anything, even him.
He’s showing teeth like a wild animal ready to attack. “Get the fuck out of my room.”
“No.”
“Enzo!” he calls out as he struggles against me.
He’s not a weak guy, so he finally succeeds in getting me off him and lays a blow against my cheek before I seize his wrists again, restraining him.
“Let. Me. Go!” he demands as we battle to the floor until soon I’m on top of him, pinning him down.
“Really giving me a workout, Log,” I tease.
“Enzo!” The door opens, and the guys rush in. “Get him the fuck off me!”
