Jaylen closed the door behind him, the click sounding far too loud in the quiet room.Jaylen didn’t return the smile.

Her legs were crossed, a silk robe slipping just enough off one shoulder to look intentional. She tilted her head, studying him. “You always are predictable when it comes to her.” She lashed out.In two strides, he was in front of her. His hand shot out, gripping her throat not hard enough to choke, but enough to make his point. “Why did you send her those pictures?
