Angrily at his stubbornness, she said, "You're no better than Marvin."
He came over to the bed in two strides. "Then maybe I ought to rape you like he did," he seethed over her.

Ethan huffed and left slamming the door behind him. Damn woman drove him to lose his calm. She thought nothing of herself or her safety. If she wasn't the most unselfish person he had ever met.
Nicole stood up and went over to the closet. There wasn't anything in there so she went over to the dresser where only gowns and underwear were. Cursing she went back to the bed. She wouldn't stay here another moment with him. He was kind one moment, hurtful the next. Not another moment.
