Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 780

No way...

Was it that suffocating cloud of smoke when I opened the door?

God, what a cheap trick.

I've been around the block, seen every dirty play in the book. But Dan? This bastard’s got a whole new level of low.

He strode over, long legs eating up the space between us.

The pressure he gave off made it hard to breathe. Instinctively, I stepped back.

“What—what do you want?”

Shit! Was he really going to pull the same crap as he did at The Night Owl? Was he going to tear me apart all over again?

“If you even try, you jerk, I swear, this time I’ll kill you. No more mercy.”

“Mercy?” Dan let out a bitter laugh when he heard that.

He sat on the edge of the bed and yanked me into his arms. “Yvonne, you really think you went easy on me that night?”

You came at me with a damn SWAT team, totally caught me off guard.

And when you made your move, you sure as hell didn’t hold back. You were out for blood.

I glared at him, cold as steel. “What do you think?”

“…”

“Or are you just blind? Can’t tell if someone cares about you or not? I’ll admit it, though—I used to be pretty blind myself.”

Once, I couldn’t even tell if someone’s feelings were real or fake.

I was so blind I didn’t see how many times you used me, and I kept running back to you like a fool.

Looking back now, damn, I was really an idiot.

How did I ever end up handing my heart to you, letting you stomp all over it and not even knowing?

Dan clamped his hand around my wrist, his eyes burning with a cold, pent-up anger.

“You really wanted to kill me that night.”

He wasn’t blind.
