“Are you going to brood forever?” Gabe asks in annoyance.

I don’t pay him any attention. Just continue staring at the amber liquid in my glass,

contemplating how

things went downhill with Ava so fast.

I’m not naïve enough to think that she was acting irrationally. She was acting like a normal

person would. A person who’s been hurt over and over again by people she loved.

There’s s this strong need inside me to soothe her pain. To take all her hurts away. To heal

her. How can I

do that, though? When I’m the one that F***ing put it there in the first place.

Emma wants you for crying out loud. Hell, It’s not like you’re lacking when it comes to the

women that

want you,” he grumbles, plopping his ass down on the chair.

I don’t acknowledge his stupid tirade. Instead, I send him a glare. If my current mood

He doesn’t understand, and I am in no mood to make him understand. My entire being has

how she tastes, and I F***ing hate that Ethan gave her something that I used to deny her

while we were married.

Shaking those thoughts away, I stand up and walk to the large windows of my office.

Thinking of any other man touching her drives me crazy. It’s pure F***ing torture. I guess

now I have an inkling of how she felt when I used to hold Emma between us.

Fuck! How can I make her see that I don’t mean any harm? That I don’t want to hurt her;

You want to heal what’s broken, yet you can’t accept that you love her? A voice taunts.

years.

My door opens, but I don’t turn.

“Now, what has gotten you in such a foul mood?” Gabe asks.

I don’t need to turn around to know that it’s Travis he’s talking to. We’ve been friends

diapers. We know each other like the back of our hands.

“Ava”

Her name makes me turn around. My focus on Travis.

He looks tired, lost, and utterly defeated. He has lost weight these past few weeks, and it’s

“What happened?” I ask, my voice sounding gruff even to my own ears.

“I went to ask her for help concerning the company. She refused.” He sighs.

I’ve told him I could help, but he refuses. The Howell’s kept to their promise. Sharp Corp
