After we’d left the restaurant with a rushed excuse, I’d gone back to the hotel room with him and dragged him into our bedroom. At first he’d assumed I was in the mood for some rough-and-tumble sex inspired by dinner with an ex-lover. But when I’d burst into tears, all notions of naughty business had vanished. He’d held me until sunrise, when daylight forced me into a blessed and much-needed sleep. With a new night upon us, I hoped to be able to put my encounter with Lucas out of my mind. “Do you want to talk about it?” Holden whispered. I couldn’t pretend to still be sleeping since he’d obviously sensed me rise. “No.” “Did he do something?” I twined my fingers with Holden’s and snuggled deeper into his embrace, needing a false sense of security more now than I had in a long time. “Doesn’t he always?” “Need me to beat him up for you?” I tried to laugh but it came out as a half-sob, and I struggled against the urge to start crying again.
