This baby and her teeth. Fuck if it didn’t turn me on when she got nasty.

“You don’t have to pay for it,” she added.

Damn, she was brutal.

Gina started to get up as she glared at Shiloh. I pushed her back down, pressing my hand to the top of her head.

“She’s a baby. You can’t go claw her face off,” I told her while grinning at Shiloh.

“She called me a prostitute.”

“I know,” I said, shaking my head. “She’s just jealous.”

Shiloh’s eyes widened, and I knew I’d hit a nerve.

“You gonna watch and get some pointers or leave?” I taunted her, although the idea of her watching was gonna make me come a hell of a lot faster.

She slung her long, dark hair over her shoulder and glared at me. “No thanks. That’s something I don’t need a lesson in.”

She didn’t wait on a response before closing the door with more force than necessary.

I was going to come so fucking hard.

Shiloh

Present Day

Mentally and emotionally exhausted after dealing with a man who hated the sight of me all day, I did not want to cook anything when I got back to my apartment. I changed into a pair of jeans and a fitted black sweater before turning to leave. I didn’t have a car because driving wasn’t considered safe for me, due to the seizures. Even though it had been a long time since I’d had one. It still made me nervous to even take driving lessons. So, I’d chosen an apartment within walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store.

When I stepped back into the hallway, the door across from me opened, and I smiled, happy to see a friendly face. Wilder Jones had become my first friend when I moved back here. He’d helped me grocery shop the first time, taught me how to order the perfect burger, and showed me how to get streaming television, all within the first week of my meeting him. Wilder was in his early thirties and divorced. He had a six-year-old daughter, Sarah, who I always baked cookies or cupcakes with at least once every weekend she spent with her dad.

“Where are you headed?” he asked, leaning against his doorframe.

“To eat. Wanna come?”

“Pizza?” he asked.

“Half buffalo chicken and half cheeseburger,” I said, as if I even needed to tempt him with his favorite.

He’d go eat pizza any time of the day.

He winked, then reached inside and grabbed a coat before closing his door and coming to walk with me. “You worked later than usual,” he said. “Long day at the office?”

Wilder worked from home most of the time. He owned a media marketing company that dealt with the web. He knew my schedule better than me.

“Not exactly. I had to go take care of one of my uncle’s private patients. The ones he makes house calls to. Anyway, the patient doesn’t like me for reasons I do not know, and he doesn’t care that I don’t remember my former self. Uncle Neil is going to take over the job until he can get another nurse to go do it.”

Wilder opened the door to the outside for me. “Sounds like an ass.”

I nodded. “From what I have learned, former me wasn’t always a nice person.”

Wilder glanced down at me. “Is he a past boyfriend?”

I shrugged. “He’s older than me, and the age gap back then makes that unlikely. But to despise someone as much as this man does me, there had to be another emotion involved once, I think. Either that or I robbed his house, ran over his favorite pet, or shot him in the balls,” I replied.

Wilder chuckled. “Ouch.”
