Though, some small part of me is wondering if fate sent me this cock attached to an unattainable man for a reason. Despite all my dating adventures prior to making my big mistake, I didn’t actually get any, or even really come close.

A one night stand with a smoking hot Alpha might be enough to scratch that itch.

I can’t help stealing glances back at him as I move through the arcade.

He’s stunning, because what Alpha isn’t?

He also seems keenly aware of that fact, and he’s pleased that I’m noticing.

Damn it. That little smirk. I want to smack it right off his face …

With my lips, which is really confusing.

I need to get a grip before I do something I’ll regret.

This whole thing is only happening because I just ran into my ex.

My chest tightens just thinking about him.

It’s been a year, and I’m still not over that asshole.

The sound of his voice brought tears to my eyes.

A swell of emotion washed over me in that instant, and despite everything he put me through, all I could think about was how much I missed him.

That fucking sucks.

I don’t want to miss the guy who broke my heart.

I want to forget everything about him.

If I could wipe him from my memories, I would.

I stop walking through the machines, and I look at the Alpha who isn’t my type.

He’s nothing like Rourke. He wouldn’t remind me of my ex.

Except from being the guy I banged to try to forget him, I guess.

“What’s wrong?” he asks, sounding curious.

“Hmm?” I murmur, as I try to assess how quickly we might get thrown out of the arcade if we … start something here.

The place is empty. I mean, besides the one guy in the prize booth who’s playing a handheld games console instead of watching out for customers who might try to fool around in here.

“You look like you’re mad about something.”

I realize I’m frowning, so I stop. “I was just thinking.”

“About what?” He raises an eyebrow.

“Pink hedgehogs!” I blurt, before I head to the grabber machine I was working on earlier.

I can’t do it. I can’t sleep with this attractive stranger.

I only want to because I just saw Rourke, and I’m pissed off that I still have left-over feelings for that asshole. All I really want is to be over him, and getting under someone else isn’t going to force that to happen.

Damn it.
