Synopsis
Luke Evans is a
heartbreaker.
I didn’t want to give mine to him. Not when he kept
me
out.
He gave me enough, just enough to make me fall in
love with him. I say this to
convince myself. But I know the
truth.
I would’ve fallen in love with him at a
distance.
Handing my heart over to Luke was the easiest thing
I’ve ever done. I was naive
when I wished for more, when I hoped he wanted the
same things I
did.
I try to hate him. I try to forget
him.
But it’s not that
easy.
Love is a ruthless bitch, and I’m her latest
victim.
Tessa Kelly is a
man-eater.
When she sets her sights on you, she doesn’t just
consume your heart, she goes
for your soul.
What we had was perfect, real, and all I would ever
want.
But she destroyed
it.
She destroyed us.
I try to hate her. I try to forget
her.
But it’s not that easy.
Love is for people who have hope, and I have
none.

No.
No.
No.
Jesus. Fuck,
no.
There
are absolutely zero good-looking men
at this thing. Besides Reed,
who disappeared an hour ago with some giggly
brunette, and the man I refuse
to acknowledge. Weddings are supposed to be a
breeding ground for nameless
hook-ups, and I’m shit out of luck at this one. So
instead of getting drilled in
a concealed corner somewhere, my dress bunched
around my waist as a stranger
becomes familiar with my sounds, I’m having to
find other ways to pass the
time.
Eat
cake.
Hit up the open
bar.
Eat more
cake.
Dance with
Nolan.
Get cake with
Nolan.
Steal Mia away from
Ben.
Watch Mia get carried off by
Ben.
And now
this.
Sitting at an empty table, watching as Ben,
Mia, and Nolan all slow dance
together. Nolan’s in between them, rubbing Mia’s
growing baby bump, while Ben
can’t seem to keep his eyes off his new wife. I’m
crazy happy for them, but
right now, I can’t watch them share another perfect
family moment in front of me.
I need a break from this. Just a few minutes to
get some
air.
I
step out of the tent and head across the
lawn toward the Estate House.
I’m walking aimlessly, not having any destination
in mind. I just need to get
away from all the love for a second. Love is great
when you’re with someone. It’s
better when it’s reciprocated. But it fucking
sucks when that shit is
one-sided.
And that’s the only way I’ve known
it.
I walk
down the side of the building and
turn right to go around the
back. As soon as I round the corner, I see
him.
He’s leaning against the building behind
some shrubs, head back, eyes
closed, lips slightly parted. His sandy-brown hair
is cut shorter than normal,
almost buzzed completely, and it does really
annoying things to his face.
Like show it off more. Those ridiculously gorgeous
features of his are on display
for my eyes right now, and I don’t have to avert
my gaze because he doesn’t
know I’m watching. He has no idea I’m staring at his
sharp, angular cheekbones, the
fullness of his mouth, or the bump at the bridge
of his nose that I see as this
perfect imperfection.
God, I fucking love that
bump.
His face tenses as his arms move to the
front of his body, and I let
my eyes roam to the reason for this
change.
The blonde I recognize from the wedding is
on her knees with his cock
lodged in her mouth, deep throating it until she
gags. His hands are in her
hair, encouraging her, pulling her closer until she
practically swallows him
whole. I lift my eyes to that face I was just secretly
admiring seconds ago. It’s no
longer tempting me to keep my presence unknown.
Because there’s no way in hell
I’m going to let this shit happen right
now.
Fuck
him, and his face.
I step in front of the bush and make a
fist, clearing my throat into
it. Luke’s eyes shoot open and he grabs the
blonde’s head, sliding her off
his cock. She releases it with a pop and a grunt
of disappointment. Apparently,
she isn’t finished. But she looks pretty fucking
finished to
me.
Luke tucks himself away quickly. “What the
fuck, Tessa? What are you
doing?”
I look from him to the blonde. “Oh,
sweetie. You might want to go
disinfect. He’s got the
herp.”
Slutty blonde parts her lips as if she’s
waiting for another cock. She
stands and wipes her mouth with the back of her
hand, glaring in Luke’s
direction. “Oh my God. Are you serious? You have
herpes?”
Luke’s wide eyes train on mine. “What? No I
don’t!”
“He’s really sweet about it though,” I say,
looking sympathetically at the
blonde. “He pays for my Valtrex every month.” I
turn my eyes to Luke, letting
out a swooning sigh. “So
romantic.”
Blonde shoves against Luke’s chest. “You’re
disgusting.”
“I don’t
have fucking herpes!” Luke
adamantly vows as he tightens
his belt.
I watch, basking in my victory as blonde
trudges through the grass,
getting her heel caught in the process. She stumbles
a bit, glares at Luke over her
shoulder, and disappears around the
corner.
“I can’t fucking believe you just did
that,” Luke says, prompting me
to whip my head around to look at him. He
buttons his suit jacket up and
steps closer. “What the hell is wrong with
you?”
You.
What happened between
us.
And
the fact that you’ve obviously
moved on without any
difficulty.
I close the gap and he freezes, his hand
flattening against his jacket.
My gaze flicks from his crotch to his face, and
I mask all the hurt of seeing
this asshole with another woman behind the fakest
smile I’ve ever
worn.
“There’s absolutely nothing wrong with me.
You, on the other hand, might
want to go to the clinic. If you didn’t have an
STD before that whore touched
you, I’m sure you have one
now.”
I
turn and storm away before he
can give me a comeback. But more importantly,
before he can see the smile
fading from my lips.
