Her breath caught, her gaze beco wary "No You just can’t accept that for once you are the one being used and dumped"
"I’ve been used more times than I can count," he dryly assured her Women weren’t the only ones ere chosen just because of their looks "Certainly enough ti to scratch an itch and one who is so consuant bastard," shetoward the door
Once again heher upper arms to halt her retreat
"Why, Maddy?"
The hazel eyes flashed with an emotion impossible to decipher "My name is Madison"
"You’ll always be Maddy toover the features that were astonishingly faht year separation Almost as if they’d been held as a precious treasure in hisbeauty ore her secondhand clothes with such pride and dignity you outshone every other girl in school The girl as too shy to say hello, but watched irl who should have been crushed by the crappy hand she’d been dealt, but instead had the courage to leave behind her past and create a new life" He gave a slow shake of his head "Only you haven’t left the past behind Have you?"
She tried to pull out of his grasp, her eyes clouding with so"

A heat bloo her hands clench in frustration
No, no, no
Tonight was about new beginnings…not indulging her senses with Luc Angeli

She pointed toward the door "My walk-away"
His brows arched "Your what?"
"My walk-away"
"Christ, Maddy" He shoved his fingers through tousled hair,about now?"
"When you left rand exit," she said, torn between punching hi him "But you just had to be a bully and take mine away"
