Chloe Reed quickly pulled her hand back.
There wasn’t a trace of warmth in her eyes—only the same cold indifference as always.
"Why should I wait for you?"
Her retort was like a splash of ice water on Walker Grant, instantly dousing the excitement that had just begun to stir within him.
The stark contrast was too much for Walker Grant to handle. He took a step forward, wanting to take her hand.
But she pulled away.
His sharp brows furrowed. He suddenly grabbed her by the shoulders and pinned her against the wall.
There was no escape.
"Chloe."
His Adam’s apple bobbed as he spoke her name.
He moved closer and closer, trying to get intimate.
But Chloe Reed turned her head away, her rejection unmistakable. "If there’s nothing else, you can go."
"We’re a married couple; we can’t live apart," Walker Grant said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the gentle curve of her profile.
Chloe Reed lowered her gaze slightly. "As far as I’m concerned, we stopped being a couple a long time ago."
"We’re not divorced yet," Walker Grant murmured. "You can’t just deny our relationship."
He moved closer again, trapping her between the wall and his chest.
"Chloe, open the door. Let me in."
His presence was overwhelming, his cool scent enveloping her, leaving her no room to escape.
Chloe Reed put her hands out to push him. "I’m not letting you in. Go away!"
But Walker Grant caught her hands. "Are you going to use your fingerprint, or should I use the passcode?"
"Are you kidding me? How could you possibly know the passcode to my place!" Chloe Reed’s eyes widened slightly.
But Walker Grant’s lips curved into a smirk. "Chloe, we’ve been together for eight years. I know you very well."
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to punch in the code.
