Beneath His Darkness (Healing Hearts #3) - Plot & Excerpts
But when she had to interact with Tucker, something was off. She couldn’t look at him and she appeared distressed. I wanted to run in, swoop her into my arms, and protect her from whatever was causing her hurt.I’ve never felt so strongly for another person before.I’ve been trying to figure out why she has me tied up in knots and acting like a sissified version of myself. Was it her face when she was talking about him? Dammit. Did she think I didn’t know she was talking about Tucker and how hurt he still is? I need to walk away from her like I walk away from everyone else in my life.She means nothing to me.That’s what I told myself as I opened my door that night to Melanie dressed in a skintight, yellow tank dress. The color of the dress made her look like a fucking light bulb—overly bright and screaming for attention. Stare at it too long and you get a damn headache. With the body Mel has, I don’t know why she would ever put that beaming monstrosity on.After letting her in, I spend the next couple hours with Mel, trying to fuck Cammie out of my mind. The problem is, she has nudged herself into my emotions. That little corner of my heart where Vic had taken up residence has now expanded and Cammie has a spot, too.Fantastic. Who knew hearts could grow vaginas? Mine has decided it’s going to start having ‘feelings’ like a damn woman.Mel left my place walking a little funny. I should probably feel bad for being a tad rough during our “play date”, but truth be told, I feel nothing when she comes over. And isn’t come the operative word where she’s concerned? I fuck her senseless, give her the scripts, and send her on her way before she can try staking claim on me. I only ever have a real conversation with her if I need to know what her writers are saying. Luckily for me, I have those conversations with set questions, so they go as quickly as possible. I can’t wait to be rid of her.Tuesday found us with Tucker gone again. Some kind of emergency, supposedly, but doesn’t he seem to always have them nowadays? Once again, the show will be behind and it will be his fault, but no one can say anything about his bullshit. Eddie said he’ll be gone for a week, which means we’ll be playing catch up again when he gets back and we all have to grin and bear it.Fuck that!I’m finding out where he is and I’m adding some irritation to his days. Stupid asshole doesn’t care that we have to keep pulling extra shifts to cover his ass. Everyone says he’s such a great guy and he’s oh-so-professional. I have yet to see that. All I see is a self-centered piece of shit who forces his co-workers to work until they’re dead tired because he’s a selfish prick.Even though I know the cost, I pull my cell from my pants and fire off a text to Davyd. My hands shake as I type and I scowl at my lack of control over the situation.I want 2 know where Tucker is. Can u get the info?I’m waiting for Davyd to answer when Cammie walks my way. I try to tell myself I’m not excited to see her, but my heart beats a little faster at her approach.“Hi,”
