But I wasn’t. I was a chicken. So instead I just clutched my bag to my chest.
Grayson released me and watched me as I backed away.
“Stay away from me,” he ordered.
I nodded and fled.

Avirgin.
A goddamn virgin.
Fate was mocking me.
And you almost slept with her.
Almost.
You had your fingers in her cunt, your mouth all over her perfect tits.
I would have been the first man to take her, the first to fuck her, the first to see her with her legs spread, her head tipped back as she had a cock in her pussy.
I wonder if she’s ever even come before.
I turned around and punched a hole through the nearest wall, barely registering the pain.
I blinked as I pulled my hand back out then stuck my fist under cold water, the stinging bringing me back to Earth.
There was a certain type of … girl … my father had targeted. He liked them inexperienced, liked the fact that he was breaking them, as he put it.
“No wonder your mother hates you,” I told myself. “You’re a fucking monster just like him.”
No. I wasn’t going to end up like him.
Lexi had to go.
Now.
“What’sthe best legal way to get rid of Lexi?” I asked Marius when I walked into his office.
Lexi would probably like his office. He had a comfortable amount of clutter. It felt like home, like someone’s office you might see on a TV show. It looked like a real person used it.
If you fire her, Lexi could end up with Marius.
That would mean I would have to see her everywhere, which I already did, but then I would have to see her with him, kissing him, knowing that I would never again hold her.
“What did she do this time, flash you?” Marius joked.
“No,” I barked, turning on him, then I reined myself back.
We’re in a work environment. Keep it together.
Marius looked concerned, maybe even a little wary. He nodded to my bruised hand.
“You doing okay?”
