Must Read: Confrontation (18+)

Rhea b@nged harder against the mahogany door. She meant to scare the boots off of that jerk, but if she ended up bringing down the door in the process, even better.


The door was unlocked at her third banging, and consequently opened.


There weren’t many men in this county Rhea had to crane her neck to look in their faces, but at 6ft. 4″, Mitch was one of the few, the first thing her eyes met as he opened the door was a broad, tanned chest that led to chiseled abs that looked wayyyy better than any she had ever seen. For a second, she seemed to have forgotten her purpose for being there; it was hard to not admire the s*xy** god in her presence, but as she raised her eyes to his gorgeous face and saw that darn p@nty-wetting smirk, she remembered this fine specimen of masculine brilliance standing in front of her was responsible for her best friend’s heart-ache.



“Rhea, what a pleasant surprise.” he began cheerfully, though his tone relayed the fact that he had been expecting her, “To what do I owe this visit?”
“Drop the act Montgomery” she snapped tersely, “You know why I’m here”
His eyes darted to the bat in her hand and back to her, he cocked his head to the side, “I suppose you’re here to play baseball. I’m sorry there’s no field around.” he joked.



Rhea’s jaw clenched. Except his head was the ball, she definitely was not here to play squat and the cocky bastard knew that. She walked over to one of his windows with the sole aim of teaching him a lesson. She raised the bat and looked straight at Mitch smiling when she noticed the smirk wasn’t on his face, he now looked wary, not scared, just wary.



Wrong expression.


“This, is what Lynn’s heart feels like right now.” with that she slugged the window, shattering it into tiny bits. She barely heard Mitch’s words of protest, but she did feel his rough hand grab her arm.


She turned to him and what she saw chilled her to the bone. Oh he was mad alright, his green eyes were darker, more threatening, it looked like steam was puffing out his ears and nostrils. It was only when she felt her bat being wrenched from her grip that she snapped out of her trance.


“Hey…” she began to protest
“Shut the hell up! Inside. Now!” he ordered. He didn’t wait for her reply. He didn’t need it as he dragged her along anyway.
Rhea struggled to be free of his firm grip, getting into that cabin would spell her doom. Lynn’s warning ricocheted in her head.



“He’s much bigger than you, what if he hurts you?”
What if he did hurt her? She was a fighter, but even she knew when she didn’t stand a chance in hell or any realm of the afterlife. As her terrified eyes took in the mountain of a man dragging her to her slaughter, she realized she was no match for this 260 pound bag of lean, rippled muscles, and with her trusty bat in his possession, she might as well anticipate a bed in the I.C.U.


He pushed her into the cabin and she stumbled forward, grabbing onto a chair to still herself.



“Have you lost your damn mind woman?” he shouted.



She turned to face him, “That’s what you get for treating Lynn like trash.” she had no idea where she got the guts from or why she was still talking when she ought to be thinking of a good hiding place or looking for a weapon to defend herself with.


“Well if Lynn didn’t come barging into my house every chance she got, she wouldn’t have to see stuff that upset her.” he retorted
In a moment of hasty- eventually foolish-judgment, she lunged forward with the intention of snatching her bat thinking he was distracted.


Wrong thought.


He grabbed her wrist and slammed her back to the door so hard her teeth chattered, she grunted in pain.

The next thing she felt left her totally shocked and made her freeze
Mitchell had his hard body against her softer one so that she was stuck between him and the large door, what the F**K was he doing?
He had on a grin she wanted to smack off his face, and she would have if her current position didn’t make it impossible to move a limb.


“You think you’re so smart, don’t you Rhea?” he spoke into her ear.
