nodded. “I haven’t had more fun in a long time. Thank you for spending the evening with me, Ms.
    Nycks. Especially given your earlier scare.”
    “Well, you protected me so well the first time, how could I not go with you a second time?” She wrinkled her nose. “But, I have a busy day tomorrow, so I should go.”
    He sighed and brushed his lips over hers. Swinging open her door, he nodded his head at her. “It’s been a privilege and an honor to meet you.”
    She blushed and nodded once before slipping into her hotel room and closing the door on AJ’s handsome face. Landi sagged against the door and released a heavy sigh. The day had taken a toll on her emotions and she needed a second to regain her control.

    Dimitri's Moon

    Heading to the bathroom, she got into something a bit more comfortable before sitting down at the desk in the room and opening her portfolio. She groaned as her pencil made some marks on the dress she was working on.
    Was this really what she needed right now?
    Leaning back in the chair, Landi tucked a pencil behind her ear and put another one in her mouth, worrying it as she stared at the image before her. There was just something off about the design.
    A knock sounded and absently she pushed back from the desk and took the paper with her. “Hang on.” She opened it, figuring it was Jason stopping by to work on tomorrow’s presentation.
    She was wrong.
    Dimitri Melonakos stood there, hands in the pockets of his dark-gray slacks, watching her. A black shirt was stretched tautly across his torso. His thick hair was almost shaggy; but on him, it looked so damn good.
    “What the fuck do you want?” she snapped.
    “We need to talk.” He held her gaze and her breath hitched as his golden orbs seemed to peer into her soul.
    “No. We don’t.” Landi began closing the door when one of his hands landed on it.
    “Yes. We do.” Dimitri stepped closer and swamped her with the fresh, crisp smell of the ocean that surrounded him.
    She arched a brow. “No, we do not ! You made sure of that, Mr.
    Melonakos, the day you walked off without a word to me! You have no claim over any second of my time!” Landi pushed against the door.
    “Let me explain…” he tried.
    “I don’t care to hear anything you have to say! Our time is over.
    Now leave me alone before I call security!”
    “Landi—”
    “No!” she yelled. “You are nothing to me now!” With a hard shove, she shut her door and locked it immediately.
    Damn you, Dimitri! Damn you!
    Landi stomped back over to her desk and flopped down. Her pencil made fast, angry strokes as she worked on the dress design.
    A few moments later, another knock came on the door. Slapping the pencil down, she stood and headed back to the door, yanking it open snarling, “Get lost, D—!”
    Jason. One black brow rose as he stared at her. “Everything okay, Landi?”

    She sagged against the doorframe. “Fine,” she muttered. “Just peachy. Get in here.”
    She pulled Jason in her room and her eyes darted to the sides, but she could see no sign of Dimitri. Closing the door, she could still feel the air hum with the energy that came when Dimitri was around.

    Dimitri stood around the corner in the hall and watched Landi pull that Jason person into her room. He’d seen her and AJ together and it had taken every last ounce of his training and control to keep out of sight. This was harder. He would have bet every last penny he owned that flames were coming from his eyes. Dimitri longed to beat his cousin and this man for daring to touch his woman.
    Unsure of how to proceed now, Dimitri remained in hiding. He had gone to her door to try and explain what had happened, but all he could do was blab incoherently.
    He wanted to pull her into his arms, kiss her, and make love to her like he had done during that wonderful weekend they shared before…
    Before I went and fucked it all up.
    He had to explain, but he honestly didn’t know
