“Alex—” He tried for cajoling, but my instant glare stopped him. He blew out a breath. “Just…seriously. What happened?”


I had to fight to unclench my jaw in order to speak, and even then my words were full of utter disbelief. “You’re kidding me, right?”


When Spencer continued to stare, when he let me see that hint of confusion in his deep brown eyes, I broke. I threw up my hands and ground out the truth. “It’s like I said the other night. You screwed me, and then you screwed me over.”


“What are you talking about?” His voice was soft, and full of hurt and confusion. For a tenth of a second, I almost wanted to feel bad for him. But it was all an act because there was no wayhe didn’t do what he’d done deliberately.


I stalked closer until I was right up in his space, no more than a foot separating us. I wanted to make sure I had his complete attention because I wasn’t doing this again. The fucker wanted to know what happened? Then I was going to fucking tell him.
