She stops and turns around when she hears my boots crunching in the gravel behind her. The cold look in her eyes is almost enough to freeze my damn heart. “Don’t you dare follow me, Easton. Turn back around and go inside.” With pained eyes, she points at the building and screams. “GO!”
      After yelling at me, she immediately turns back around and starts walking again to get away from me.
      Ignoring her demand, I stalk toward her, wrapping my arm around her waist right as she attempts to straddle her motorcycle.
     “You’re not driving home,” I say, while squeezing her waist and pulling her against me. “I get that you want fast right now. That you need a rush to clear your head. Trust me, I know you. I’m the one that got you addicted, but you’ve had too much to drink.”
      “You don’t need to worry about what I do,” she growls out in anger, before elbowing me in the stomach in an effort to get away. “Dammit! Let me go. I need to leave. I can’t be here.”
      She’s still trying to fight me, so I carefully lower her to the gravel and trap her under my body, pinning one of her legs underneath mine. “Give me your keys,” I growl, an inch away from her lips. “Don’t make me force them out of your hand. I can pin you under my body all night if I fucking have to, Kota.”
      “Yeah, I don’t think my brother would like that much.” She attempts to buck me off with her hips, but it does nothing.
      I smirk down at her and push my hips closer against her body. “Fight me all you want. I’ll win.”
      “Fuck you, Easton!” Breathing heavily, she lays still and fights to control her breathing from below me. After a few seconds, her eyes meet mine, and she grins. “Fetch.” She tosses her keys across the parking lot and then pushes my chest, speaking against my lips. “Now. Get. Off.”
      I release a hard breath and take a moment to analyze her face. It feels like forever since I’ve seen it.
      Her big, gray eyes are framed by long lashes and her dainty, freckled nose is now pierced and flaring out in anger.
      Catching me off guard, she pushes her way out from under me and closes her eyes as she runs her hands over her face and lays back. “Just leave me be. I don’t want to be anywhere near you. I’ll have Hope take me home.”
      “You really mean that?” I question with a tight jaw. “You still hate me after three damn years?”
      “How can I not?” she bites out, before jumping to her feet, ignoring my hand as I reach it out to help her. “You tore my heart out. Now get out of my way.”
      I bite my lip, holding in my anger as she pushes past me and disappears inside.
      I’m still standing out here with my hands in my hair when she walks back out a few minutes later following Hope to her old, beat-up truck.
      My heart pounds relentlessly as I watch them hop inside and drive away.
      You tore my heart out.
      Those five words hurt like hell. She’s always been good at making me feel.
