CHAPTER 2

"Yeah, do you often play these games? Declan told me how often you share your women." Hope didn't know why she was pushing Nathan for. She had no idea why she was seeking more from him. This was wrong, he was not the man for her, told her so many times. But there was something about him... How she missed it at the beginning she would never know.

"Hope, I'm going to say this to you once more, get the fuck inside."

"Or what?" Please don't turn away. Hope wanted nothing more than to be in his arms, to have him hold her, to just be with him. It was always so strange being around Nathan, then he declared his love her, that made it worse, then she declared her love for him and in all honesty, Hope had no idea what happened after that.

"I'm going to walk away Hope... Don't be stupid and hang around. It's dangerous." He said drawing in a deep breath. Hope was going to cry.

"Go... See if I care." She sounded like a baby, but she was so desperate for him to just hear her out.

"Great to know..."

"I don't have a car." She said quickly after he turned around. Hope saw his back stiffen and bit her bottom lip. He looked very unamused when he turned back to face her.

"How the fuck did you get here?"

"I... I called a cab... Know better than to drink and drive." She said nodding her head. Nathan cursed under his breath.

"Okay Hope... I'll give you a lift." Yeah!

"You sure... I mean..."

"Get in the fucking car." Nathan seemed totally over her now. Asshole. Hope was playing a very dangerous game, but for the life of her she would not give up on Nathan. There was so much chemistry between them it was electric.

His little bimbo was waiting by the car. Hope gave her a what the hell are you looking at look. "She coming with?" The girl asked.

"Yes... Yes I'm coming with..." Hope was not going to let her sit in the front. She almost nudged her out of the way. Nathan cursed. He looked at the girl and told her to go back to the club.

"Ohhhh... But..."

"Go." His voice low. The girl frowned and reluctantly left. Hope smiled inside. Thank god.

They drove in absolute silence. Nathan was not going to make any conversation and Hope was feeling a little nervous as to how to approach this. She wanted him to come down when he pulled over at her apartment. "Um... Do you want to come down, a coffee... A drink?"

"No." Hope was stalling. She hated how closed off he was.

"Why not? I mean it's the least I can do..."

"Hope, go home." Asshole.

"Just come down."

"And do what?"

"A drink..."

"I'm not thirsty." Dickhead.

"Why are you being so difficult?" The minute he turned to face her, Hope felt her heart beating out of her chest. He was so good looking. Like yum...

"Do you want to fuck?" Well she was not expecting to hear that. "Is that what you are after? A quick fuck?"

"Why are you being this way?"

"Is that what you want?" Hope was looking at how dark his eyes became. "I'm pretty sure that's the reason you are insisting I come down."

"You are an asshole Nathan." She snapped.
