JOSH POV “I’m done, Mads. Done with the NFL. I shouldn’t have come back in the first place. I should have stayed with you and become your mate. I’m sorry I chose wrong and put us both in so much pain and misery.” I say, knowing I need to humble myself. Maddie doesn’t say anything for a few moments, completely engulfed in her own thoughts. Players and staff pass us while I wait for her to process what I’ve said. To be honest, I’m a little stumped by Maddie’s response. I figured I’d need to grovel and apologize profusely in order for her to forgive me or at the very least, to allow the option of winning her love again. The look on her face isn’t anything I expected. Shocked disappointment is what I’m reading, but why would she be disappointed in me for choosing to leave the Packers? Plus I’ve never seen her shocked into speechlessness. When she finally comes out of it, I see her wipe her face of emotions, but I read it before it was gone. S

MADDIE POV Shockingly, the day flies by. Before I know it, my SUV is loaded up and I’m hopping in with Nolan in accompaniment in the passenger seat. I start up the ignition and pull out, waving at Mama and Greta and everyone else who are there giving me their united support. “This will work, Mads. He’s been asking you to come see him this whole time. To give y’all another chance. He’ll take you back, I just know he will.” Nolan reassures me as he reaches over and firmly grips my hand. I look over at him and give a guilty, hesitant grin, “I finally listened to his voicemails and read his text messages today. In all of them, every single one, he apologized for what he did. For thinking only of himself. He wasn’t angry that I kicked him off territory. Not at all. Only remorseful. It broke my heart hearing his sadness. In the last few, he sounds defeated. I did that to him. Me. I feel so guilty that I pushed him away and we didn’t come up with a solutio

JOSH POV I park the car in my spot in the parking garage and look over at Maddie. She’s been chattering away since we got into the car with our food. But I’m having trouble focusing on what she’s saying because everything she’s talking about is total bullshit. Why the hell would I care if the TV show All’s Fair just got cancelled? I don’t even know what it’s about. But it’s got the overly dramatic K family in it, so I say good riddance. She’s chatted about new purse releases and us going to some fashion show in Milan next season. The worst part about this drive, I haven’t hardly said two sentences to her. Just humming now and again. This isn’t like her. I think if I combined my ex and Maddie in a blender, this superficial, but sexy human-smoothie would be the disastrous outcome. I honestly don’t think she’s even noticed I haven’t said much to her. It’s like I’m not important to her. I am totally off put. I have zero desire to be with her right now and that just

JOSH POV What the fuck?!! This isn’t Maddie. It’s my stalker ex, Victoria. “Get off me!” I somehow yell. Victoria’s sinister smile spreads across her face and just as she begins to descend, lightening shoots across my room, striking her and flinging her into the windows. I slowly turn my head sideways and I see Tyson standing in my room along with a few of Maddie’s siblings. Relief like I’ve never felt before flows through me when I see them. However, I still feel like I’ve been drugged. I can’t move my limbs much and the room is hazy. “Wha sh’ do ta meee?” I mumble out, the lust haze, drugged feeling is getting worse and I know this is her doing. Victoria is a psycho-bitch. How did she disguise herself as Maddie?! Victoria jumps up from her slumped over form on the floor and begins to chant. Once again, lightening shoots across my room and slams into her. This time though, I see where it came from. Suzie shot it from her hand

MADDIE POV Fire burns through my veins and clogs my lungs. I know I’m alive due to the multiple sources of intense pain that are now raging through my body. But the inferno within me is only one of many reasons I wish I was dead. Josh is cheating on me. I can feel the betrayal tearing through my heart and smashing it into dust. Fin’s howls barely register, but they’re there, behind the crumbling wall in my mind. The wall was already weakening, but now its being obliterated by the drugs coursing through my system. My clit throbs in time with my heartbeat, demanding attention and a release. Lust and arousal are all I can focus on. The need for my core to be filled and pounded till completion is overwhelming any and all rational thoughts. My only option right now; the only thing I can do is stay in my frozen state, holding as still as possible until the drug works its way out of my system. If I can’t, I know I will hurt someone because the s
