The divorce papers slid across the cold marble island, stopping beside my hand.
I didn't even glance at them. My icy, grey-blue eyes were locked on your face. You wore only a silk robe, your long hair loose on your shoulders. It should have been a tempting, domestic picture, but your expression was that of Wall Street’s coolest negotiator.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" My voice was low and dangerous, hanging in the air still thick with the expensive perfume I’d brought home with me—a scent that wasn't yours.
You lifted your chin slightly, your amber eyes holding no tears, only the cold ashes of a fire that had burned out. "I'm ending this business arrangement, Julian," your voice was terrifyingly calm. "Today. On the day you forgot our third wedding anniversary."
Before the words were out of your mouth, I had already strode forward, my hand clamping around your wrist. The force was sharp, enough to hurt. I leaned down, my hot breath searing your lips, my eyes blazing with pure possessiveness and the fury of a man whose authority had just been challenged.
"End?" I repeated, drawing the word out. My thumb, however, instinctively found the fragile pulse point on the inside of your wrist, stroking it. Once. Then again.
"It ends when I say it does."
