Tparted my lips but couldn’t find my voice Just then, the door to the
private dining room was hung open, and before he even walked in, I could aready smell his familiar scent
Nicholas gaze lingered on me for a few seconds
ore he turned to Marcus and sneered. “What exactly are you implying, Mare? That I am somehow beneath the standards of your family?”
I was his ex–wife, after all. So, when Marcus insulted me, he was basically
insulting him as well.
He kicked the chair aside, adjusted his trousers, and sat down. He wrapped his arms around my waist and forced me to sit on his lap while he looked at Marcus with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.
Marcus stiffened, his expression growing solemn. “Nick, you know I didn’t mean it like that. But this is about my family, and he’s my younger brother. I just can’t-”
“Marc!” Nicholas cut him off. “What you’re worried about won’t happen. Some things are set in stone, do you understand?”

Nicholes had this habit of being utterly overbearing, only to turn around and act like the victim. All of a sudden, I couldn’t make heads or tails of him.
“Will you only let go of me if I’m actually seeing someone else? Do you want me to sleep with someone else? If that’s what it takes, I’ll do it.”
