    All
he had to do was snap his fingers and my clothes would be off. There
was no going back; I was drawn in like a bee to honey. I wanted him,
desperately wanted him, and tried like crazy to reel it in, but it
wasn’t happening.
    When
the banging at the door started, I groaned, knowing what it meant.
His voice soon followed, “Kate, it’s Nick, let me in.”
Of all the times for this to happen…
    “I’m
sorry,” I said, pulling away. “I’ll take care of
this.” Fuck you, Nick, you just interrupted me at the wrong
moment .
    Austin
followed me to the door. Opening it, he stood behind me. I started to
tell him he needed to go home, only, before I could get the words
out, Nick lunged, “What the hell? Who are you?”
    Shit.
Nick was drunk, “Get away from my girl,” he slurred and
swung. He connected, but just barely. He was a big guy, so I
panicked, hoping he wouldn’t hurt Austin.
    I
was amazed watching Austin move. It took him less than a minute to
have him fully restrained, his arms tucked up behind him and his head
pulled back. “Apologize to the lady,” he said, refusing
to let him go. I guess that military training paid off – wow.
    “Fuck
you,” he spat out violently, trying to unhook from the hold.
    “Apologize
to the lady,” Austin said, his tone now firm. Using his knee,
he jammed behind Nick’s leg, I heard a grunt. “I said
apologize to the lady.”
    “I’m
sorry,” he forced out.
    “Your
services are no longer needed,” Austin said. “Is that
understood? She said it’s over, and you don’t seem to get
that.”
    Austin
turned and looked at me, “Is it over?”
    I
nodded, “Yes.”
    “It’s
over, see that buddy. It’s time for you to leave. I’m
going to let you go. If you give me any trouble, I won’t be so
gentle with you next time,” he growled.
    Austin
let him go. Nick shook it off, looked at me, looked at Austin, and
then groaned. “She’s all yours buddy, I don’t want
her anyway,” he said walking away, trying to hold it together.
    Closing
the door behind him, I turned to Austin, “I’m so sorry.”
I was mortally embarrassed, my heart racing, full of adrenalin. How
could Nick pick tonight of all nights?
    “Not
your fault. Maybe I should go,” he said.
    “Please
don’t.” I was devastated, I felt the mood shift and there
was nothing I could do.
    “Look,
I think you’re a nice girl and all, but I’m not ready for
a drama filled relationship. He shouldn’t bother you anymore,
and if he does feel free to call me, but I think I need to pass for
now. It’s not personal, it’s just that I’ve got my
own garbage to deal with, and I’m not ready for this kind of
stuff.”
    I
silently nodded. I was heartbroken. We were about to get naughty, and
then Nick showed up and ruined everything. I watched as he politely
excused himself and closed the door as he walked out. I felt numb. I
wasn’t ready for him to leave, not yet, and not like this.
    Leaning
up against the wall, I cried. As fast as it started, it ended. My
feelings were jumbled between frustration and being let down. It was
over. It’s not like I had a lot invested, a couple of nights
talking, but I was starting to feel like we might take this
somewhere. I guess I was wrong.
    Normally
I would have called Heather, but at this point I didn’t want to
talk to anybody.
    There
was a knock at the door about ten minutes later. My gut told me it
was Nick back for another round, and I didn’t have it in me to
hash it out. I went to double check through the peek hole and saw
Austin standing there, his hand running through his hair.
    Opening
the door, I looked at him confused.
    “I’m
not ready to leave yet,” he said. “Can I come in?”
    I
opened the door wider, stepping back so he could enter. I was
stunned, uncertain what drew him back, but here he was.
    “I
sat in my car, and I couldn’t leave. I’m not sure why.
Something told me to come back inside,” he explained.
    I
didn’t say
