Page 65 of Unexpected Temptation
“Wh-what are you doing here?”
Jaylen wanted to howl at her red, puffy eyes that told him she’d cried hard, and the sadness she couldn’t hide in her eyes.He crossed his arms over his chest.
“Well, I’m here to get my future wife.”
A streak of pain flashed across her beautiful features.“I-I thought she was with you.”
Jaylen gritted his teeth and started stalking toward her.“She is now.”
Amelia took a step back for every step he took toward her.“Okay.So why are you here?I’ve already asked Kane to help me get my th-things from your house, so I’ll be out of your hair before long.”
Jaylen stopped abruptly, a look of disbelief on his face.“What the fuck is going through your head?”
Amelia cringed.She’d never heard Jaylen say that word before.It showed her how furious he was at that moment.
“I’m just trying to make it e-e-easier on you...”she stammered.
“How the hell do you figure that?”
Amelia twisted her hands.“I’m not sure what you’re asking,” she whispered.
Jaylen took another step forward and moved until he had her pinned to the wall.
Amelia gasped when her back hit the solid surface and then bit back a moan when his midsection hit her breasts.
His hands landed on the wall on either side of her head.
“How do you figure you leaving me is easier?”
“B-but I didn’t leave.I wouldn’t, but I heard you and Meredith talk.You were deciding how to...”She paused because the words were just too hurtful to say.
“To what?”he growled.
Amelia shrugged and inhaled.“I don’t know.How to be together, I guess.”
“That’s what you heard, huh?”
She bit down on her bottom lip and nodded.
Jaylen curved one hand over her cheek.“You heard wrong, Baby.I wish you had stayed for the whole conversation.”
Amelia shook her head as she sniffed back the tears that wouldn’t stop.“She was touching you, and you didn’t care.”
Jaylen frowned.“When?”
“She had her hands curled around your arm, rubbing herself against you, and you just stood there and talked about how she would live there.”
“Baby, there is no way in hell I was going to let your sister move in with us.”
“Us?But I thought she was taking my place since she’s the one who answered your ad in the paper.”
Jaylen’s thumb pressed against her bottom lip.
A long, tense moment passed.
“You know what I don’t like?”he whispered in a tortured voice.
Amelia shook her head, unable to tear her gaze from his hard eyes.
