King's Wrath (Sydney Storm MC 5)

“Don’t call me. I’ll be on my way to Melbourne.”
She sat up, her features filled with confusion. “I don’t understand what’s happening here. Why are you going to Melbourne? And when will I see you again?”
I took a step back at the same time I clamped ice down over my heart. When I answered her question, I let that ice coat my words. “You won’t see me again. This is over between us.” This has to be over between us.
I stalked out of the house without waiting for her response. By the time I reached the car, I’d switched to battle mode. The only thought in my head was that I had to obliterate Tony Romano’s operation. Something I should have done a lot fucking sooner.
“King!” Lily called out, running out to the car. “Wait!”
My jaw clenched as I opened the car door. “Go back inside, Lily. This isn’t up for negotiation.”
She stood on the other side of the door, staring at me with shock. “I don’t understand. Why?”
I ignored the tears streaming down her face. Refused to see them. I’m doing this for her. “Because you don’t belong in my world, and I don’t belong in yours. Now go the fuck back inside. We’re done.”
She flinched as if I’d punched her. And then she stared at me like she didn’t know who I was. Wrapping her arms around her body, she moved away from the car. She didn’t utter another word.
As fast as we’d begun, we were done.
And I was reminded once more that the journey through life was best taken alone.

“You gonna fuck that one or can I have her tonight?” Jacko asked as my gaze trailed after the hot piece of ass I’d been watching all night.
