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.

#1 Where I Belong
Prologue
Two
months
ago
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.
