“Really, Torrent?Because from where I’m standing it means a fuck of a lot.In fact, right now I’m starting to wonder if I mean anything to you!”

“I love you,” I whisper.I’m losing it.Flashbacks of the men holding me hostage are trying to surface.Their faces are overlapping Devil’s and I can’t catch my breath.

“You’ve got a funny way of showing it.I don’t know if you realize the kind of man you’ve hooked, but I don’t hide for no-fucking-body.I’ve let you have your way because you’ve been through a lot, but it’s becoming clearer and clearer that was the wrong way to handle things with you.”

“Logan,I think we both need to calm down and talk about this like two mature adults.”

“You want me to calm down, Torrent?”

“Well, yes.It’s not like we should be upset with each other.Iamtelling Wolf.I have to make sure I do it the right way.”

“And you think dinner with him is therightway to go about it?”he mocks, clearly not happy about that at all.

“Well, yeah.It will give us a chance to be calm and relaxed so I can explain that this thing…”

“I’m not a thing, Torrent.I’m supposed to be your man.”

“Quit twisting my words.That’s not what I meant.Please Dev—Logan, I love you, I’m giving up everything to be with you...”

“I didn’t realize you viewed being with me as giving everything up,” he says, and now he’s not yelling.Now his words are quiet and cold as steel.Somehow that scares me even more.

“Maybe we should take a break and let our tempers ease before we talk more,” I suggest.

“Am I invited to this dinner with you and Wolf?”he asks.

“I… Well...”

“You’re not planning on me going at all, are you Torrent?”

“I thought it would go over better if I go alone,” I whisper, knowing even as I say it that it’s the wrong thing to say to him.

“So you want me to sit on my hands while that fucker takes you to dinner and convinces you that he’s the better option?”

“What?No.De—Logan, he can’t do that.”

“Why not?After all, he has Daddy’s seal of approval right?”

“Please stop,” I whisper.

“I thought I was involved with a woman, but you’re a child playing at being an adult.”

“Are you done?”I ask, not sure I can take anymore—not from him.

“You should be careful, Torrent.While you’re trying to control everything you might find that your precious Wolf isn’t as clean and harmless as you think.”

“What does that mean?”

“Just what I said.”

“You’re being mean now.Does it make you feel good to hurt me, Logan?”

“I guess I should appreciate the fact you remembered my real name this time.Somehow I don’t.I’m not being mean, as you put it.Real men, Angel, they don’t let you lead them around by the short hairs, no matter how fucking good your pussy is.I’ve let you have your way too damn long.I’m done chasing you, Torrent.If you want me, then you’re going to have to chase me.”

“You’re leaving?”I ask, absorbing his words that are so harshly spoken, they feel like a physical blow.

“Fuck yeah, I’m leaving.If you want me, you know where to find me.”

“Logan—”
