“Michael was right about you!” The words erupt from my lips, fueled by a
surge of hot rage that pounds through my veins. My heart hammers
frantically as I propel myself towards the door, every step laced with
betrayal.
But the lie tastes bitter on my tongue, a desperate attempt to wound June
the way he’s wounded me. The sight of me with another man – even if he’s
entirely fabricated – has sent him into a tailspin, his normally cool demeanor
shattered.
And oh, how I relish the sight of it. After all this time as his “bestie”,
always there but never quite enough, I’ve finally been granted this rare
glimpse behind the Juniper Deveaux facade.
A week ago, I gave him my heart, my trust, my very self. I let down the
walls I’d so carefully constructed after the deception and emotional turmoil
of my ex, Ray. And June, damn him, had been there through it all – listening
to every rant, every bitter argument, offering his steadfast support.
I truly thought he’d be different, that everything would change now that
we were really together. But old habits, it seems, die harder than I ever
imagined.
My steps falter, and before I know it, June has me pinned against the dull
grey wall, his tall frame caging me in. The surface is cold against my back,
a jarring contrast to the heat radiating off his body.
My pulse pounds in my ears as his verdant gaze slices through me, sharp
and unforgiving. “What did you say, Cara?” His breath, laced with the scent
of peppermint and smoke, ghosts over my face. “I dare you to say that shit
again!”
The anger surging through me is a living, breathing thing, hot and
relentless. I shouldn’t have lied, I know that. But after catching him flirting
with that vapid socialite right in front of me, the need to hurt him, to make
him feel even a fraction of the pain tearing me apart, had been impossible to
ignore.
There was no Michael, never has been – Juniper Deveaux has been the
only man I wanted, the only one I’ve ever truly wanted. But I’m not
backing down now, no matter how reckless it is to poke the bear.
“I wasn’t born twice,” I spit out, refusing to break eye contact, “…so I’m
not repeating myself.”
A cruel sneer twists his lips, a look so foreign on his face that it’s almost
jarring. In this moment, I don’t think he wants to turn me on; no, the shine
has left his eyes, pupils dilating as he inhales deeply. His free hand slips
between my thighs, fingers searching for proof of my betrayal.
Proof that doesn’t exist.
