Mitch returned with Autumn. She smiled when she saw me, and I gave her a big hug. Blonde bob, tight clothes, perky ass. I had been about to fuck her the night of the murder, but we’d both partied so hard we’d passed out. She was a nice, sexy girl, but I hadn’t been able to find an emotional connection with her.

Autumn and I sat and chatted in a booth while Ksenya stared at us. After about five minutes, I stood and was about to leave with Autumn, get wasted. Maybe if I fucked her tonight, I could take my mind off Ksenya.

But I couldn’t resist—I took one final glance back. Ksenya’s hair hung in her face like a spiderweb, and her lip was trembling.

Exactly like Mia’s used to.

Fuck, what was wrong with me?

I kissed Autumn on the cheek, told her it was great to see her. I was a goddamned idiot not to make a night of it with her, but I still needed some answers. Maybe Ksenya would break down and confess everything to me after I fucked her brains out.

I grabbed Ksenya by the wrist until she yelped.

“Fine. You want to play games, little girl? Make me jealous by fucking around with my friend?”

Her eyes widened, almost doe-like. “I made mistake. Please, you must forgive me.”

“Stop talking. You want this night to continue? You will obey my orders. What I say goes. Let’s get the hell out of here.”

She nodded quickly, her skin flushed.

I was a Navy SEAL, the ultimate alpha male. When I’d dated Mia, I’d never let her see my whole self. I’d never brought that shit home with me. I’d treated her like the little fucking princess I’d always thought she deserved to be. I’d been the nice guy—tender, loving, and attentive. I had aimed to please her rather than myself.

Tonight, she hadn’t earned that right. I’d be selfish and fuck her how I’d always wanted to.

I was done minding my fucking manners.
