This sucked.
Majorly.
But with the threat hanging over his head Christian “Surf” Bailey didn’t
see that he had any other choice.
Drawing in a deep breath, he forced himself to do this. Breaking Lila’s
heart would break his right along with it, but he couldn’t let her know that.
If he wasn’t strong and didn’t make a clean break of things, then he was
painting a major bullseye on the woman’s back, and he’d rather break her
heart than get her killed.
Surf knocked on Lila’s apartment door and schooled his expression into
a mask of disinterest. If he didn’t like the woman so much this wouldn’t be
so hard. When he’d met her, he’d been in the middle of a month-long sex
binge. Falling for a woman had been the last thing he’d wanted.
After he and his team—Prey Security’s Alpha Team—had been
ambushed and held captive in Somalia, they had been beaten and tortured
for two weeks before they’d been rescued. He’d found the only way he
could cope with the mess of emotions and overwhelming helplessness the
ordeal invoked was the high of an orgasm.
Meaningless sex was all he’d wanted. In and done as quickly as possible.
Get the woman off, get himself off, then leave. He hadn’t even known the
names of the vast majority of them. Hadn’t wanted to. It wasn’t about them,
wasn’t even really about him, he just needed that high to survive.
Until Lila had changed everything.
“Oh, Christian, hi. What a great surprise.” Lila’s sweet smile greeted him
like a beacon shining a light through a pitch-black night. She might not
know it—would likely never know it—but she was what had saved him.
Brought him out of that darkness, and he hated that this was how it was
going to end.
All he could do was pray that once they found and eliminated the threat
hanging over him and his team, he could come back, explain, and Lila
might understand.
Not sure he would if he was her, but he could hope.
Had to hope.
“We need to talk.”
At his tone, the smile slowly fell from Lila’s face, and instead,
uncertainty danced in her beautiful baby blue eyes. It had been a few days
since he’d been able to come and see her, but they had talked on the phone
and texted every single day since they had met. He knew this was going to
come completely out of the blue for her, she wouldn’t understand, and he
absolutely hated that. But telling her the truth meant putting her in danger,
and he hated that even more.
“Uh, sure, come on in.” When she stepped back to let him enter her
apartment, he felt that distance like a physical blow.
This was it.
In just a couple of minutes, he would rip out her heart and walk away
like she meant nothing to him. She’d saved him, and she wouldn’t know it.
