Surrogate for My Mafia Ex
Cade steps out into the cool night air, and my lungs completely stop working.
He doesn't look like a polished CEO. His suit jacket is gone, his white button-down shirt is unfastened at the collar, and his sleeves are rolled up to his forearms. His knuckles are split open, raw and bruised, with faint smears of dried blood staining his skin. He looks exhausted, dangerous, and feral.
His dark eyes lock onto mine, piercing right through all my defenses. The second our eyes meet, it’s like the air around us turns into pure electricity. The rest of the world, my dad, Michelle, the suitcases, completely fades away.
