that file. I could see if that is what Landon is hiding.  

CHAPTER SIX
Landon

    Father used the drink to wash away
    The pain of losing her.
    The pain that was just too much to bear.  

    She doesn’t answer me, which just makes me even more crazy inside. She doesn’t deny that it could be hard, if not impossible, to remove Ethan from our lives. I can’t live like that. I can’t be with her knowing that she is still thinking about that bastard from time to time. I can’t live knowing that she probably plans to eventually be friends with him. I can’t handle that.  
    She avoids eye contact with me as she thinks something over.  
    “What are you thinking about?”  
    She just shakes her head. She’s hiding something. I know she is. I just don’t know what it is. She smiled when she saw me, but it wasn’t her genuine smile. Her embrace earlier was tense, scared. Even her kiss wasn’t the same.  
    Something happened while I was gone. I just don’t have time to figure out what it is. Not when I have my own secrets to hide to prevent her from worrying before I know the truth. Not when I should be pushing her away instead of bringing her closer. But I can’t keep myself from wanting her. I can’t keep my hands from touching her body. I can’t.  
    I can’t wait until we get back to our condos. That fight has left us both feeling even more distance between us. I grab and watch her eyes rise in surprise as I lock my lips with hers. She doesn’t resist for long, though; she never can, even when she is obviously mad at me. Just one kiss brings her back to me. It’s one of the reasons she is so amazing. It’s one of the reasons I love her.  
    Our kisses aren’t soft or reluctant. Instead, I kiss her roughly, showing her how desperate I am to have her right now. She attacks me right back. Her tongue thrusts inside my mouth as she lets out a loud groan.  
    My hands find her hips, and I pull her over onto my lap as our lips continue brutalizing each other, punishing each other for not telling the truth. Punishing each other for keeping secrets. How could this ever work when we keep these kind of secrets from each other?  
    Her hips thrust on top of me rubbing me until I’m hard, begging to be inside her.  
    Her lips move to my neck, and she sucks first before biting hard, showing me exactly how she needs it. Rough. Dirty. Passionate.  
    I growl my response as I lift her shirt and find her nipples, taking them roughly into my mouth. Her body convulses at the pleasure running through her body. Her legs dig into my sides as she squeezes my body underneath her. I feel the rough metal of her prosthetic, but it doesn’t even faze me. It just feels like Alex.
    I move to her other nipple sucking viciously as her hands tangle in my hair. I want her naked. I want her tied up. I want her screaming in pain as my cock moves inside her. I can’t do everything I want, though, not here in her car. But I can’t wait until later to have her. I have to have her now.  
    Her hands are fumbling at my jeans trying to get them undone. She feels the same. I help her undo the button and zipper, and her hand does the rest. Finding my hard cock, she releases it from the fabric keeping it from her. Her hand moves over me.  
    “Fuck, Alex!”  
    “That’s the idea,” she says smirking.  
    I push her back, and she squeals as I grab at her shorts pulling them down her legs. I’m tempted to rip them to shreds. She deserves it after her teasing, but then she would have to walk into the condo half naked and nobody gets to see her glorious pussy except me.  
    My hand finds her soaked pussy and begins moving over her and working her body into a frenzy. It doesn’t take much at this point to bring her close. I can tell as her hips meet my hand with each movement that she is close. That she needs me inside her now. That she can’t wait.  
    I position her pussy over my cock and drive her down on top of it. We both groan in unison as
