Chapter 5: Theo

“What the hell is going on?” Ayla’s voice floated down to me as she ran down the stairs. She froze halfway down the moment she laid eyes on me. “What are you doing here?”

A silk robe hung open, revealing the shorts and cut–off tank top she wore underneath, her caramel–colored hair flowing loosely around her shoulders. She was gorgeous. And clearly not in distress. I took a step toward her as my rage grew.

“What are you doing here?” I spat back.

out the open front door. We stood in silence until the sound of his engine faded.

“Are you f***ing him?”

Her eyes went wide, then narrowed as she took a step forward. “Are you f***ing my sister?”

A strangled snarl escaped me, but she started speaking again before I could recover from her accusation.

“What I do with a male – or anyone for that matter – is none of your damn business.”

“The hell it isn’t.” Electricity passed through the air between us. “He has no right to put his hands on you.”
