Dear Diamond

She wasn’t mine to claim—I knew nothing about her. But then our eyes met… She danced on stage, exposed in more ways than just her lack of clothing. I expected to see lust. Instead, I got anger, hatred, resentment. She was in deep with the company I’d escaped, and my presence at Club Swank made me guilty by association. But I refused to let them have her. I’d protect her at all costs. After all, they owed me. Dear Diamond is created by Stephie Walls, an eGlobal Creative Publishing Signed Author.

Chapter 33: Nikki

"Why are you doing this?"

He stopped working and wiped his hands on a dish towel. His brown eyes searched my face in confusion. "You said you were hungry."

"No, not dinner. This thing...with me. Why are you doing it?"

Ryker popped a chunk of raw broccoli into his mouth and chewed before he answered. He was the only person I'd ever seen who could make food sexy. "I told you-"

"No bullshit. The real reason."

He swallowed, and his Adam's apple danced down his neck and back up. The tattoos expanded and then constricted; it was art in and of itself. The browns of his eyes swirled with golds and hints of green as his pupils pulsed and then dilated.

I expected some in-depth or detailed explanation for whatever had caused him to go protective alpha over a woman he didn't know.

He shrugged. "Not a clue."

I arched my brows, not believing his response.
