A look that could make weaker men cower is holding me hostage, but I won\u2019t bend. Not for this. I had one cheating wife in my life, so I know how this game is played, unfortunately. Take the offense in order to avoid playing defense.<\/p>\n<p>Been there, done that. Out of curiosity, I just want to know how far he\u2019ll take this before owning up to his rekindled feelings for his teenage lost love. \u201cThe fact that you\u2019re bringing up the \u2018guilt\u2019 topic shows that you are, indeed, guilty of something. So just fucking spit it out, Larson and we\u2019ll get past this apparent hurdle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Troy turns back to the cabinets and takes out two cups. His, with an exact replica of Muffy that I found at the flea market and mine with an overly fatigued character sitting at his writing machine and drinking coffee. The words \u201cWriter at Work\u201d describing the scene all too well.<\/p>\n<p>I watch him rummage through the cupboard for two tea packets before settling on Chamomile for him and Honey for me. It doesn\u2019t escape my notice that he\u2019s chosen two \u201crelaxing\u201d flavors. Troy is trying to soothe my nerves, but I can guarantee that it will take more than fucking tea to bring my blood pressure down. The whole of China could not make enough tea to calm my ass down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have nothing to confess, Troy. Do you?\u201d I want to see where this goes. I want him to open up to me without making me pull the worms from his fucking nose. \u201cOh yeah? Are you sure about that? Because I beg to differ,\u201d he finishes as he turns around and leans against the counter, waiting for the kettle to whistle. To my own annoyance, my eyes are drawn to the cords of lean muscles that decorate his arms with each of his movements, especially when he crosses them over his chest.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re at a stalemate, here. That much is obvious. \u201cOh, pray tell, Troy. What exactly are you getting at? Are you accusing me of something? Cheating, maybe?\u201d That should ring a bell.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Andrea Smith \u2013 Eva LeNoir Copyright \u00a9 2016 All rights reserved.

I didn\u2019t realize that their stubbornness would follow us still, a year later. Yet, here we are with Hard Edit. Troy and Larson are not your typical couple. If you\u2019re looking for rainbows and unicorns, I\u2019m afraid they high- tailed it out and fast. What you will get are two flawed yet sincere men who are well aware of their misgivings&#8230;they just choose to ignore them.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoyed writing. First off, I\u2019d like to thank Andrea Smith a thousand times over for trusting me enough to write with me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
