Sebastian

I hated her. With every piece of my destroyed heart, I hated her. But I also still loved her.

How the hell was that possible? To hate someone so much and love them at the same time? To be unable to resist her and wish she'd never walked back into my life?

If there was ever a woman to confuse me, it was Zoey. She was the first girl I ever loved, and the one I planned to spend my life with. Until she took her empty promises and vows of love and married someone else all those years ago.

Someone who did to her what she did to me. I wanted to be happy she was just as ruined as I was, but I wasn't.

Zoey

I hated asking anything of Sebastian. He made it more than clear he wanted nothing to do with me. It was best to keep my distance.

So why did he kiss me?

His answer was not what I expected. I don't know what I did expect, but he can't resist me? No. That had to be a joke.

But that look. The way he carried me to his bed and claimed me. Without words.

It was like the years hadn't changed anything, but they had. And he made sure I knew it with his parting words.

"We're not going to get back together, Zoey."
