This was such a shit day. And now I’m stuck in a hardware store with a hotter than fuck stranger who’s talking about plumbing using metaphors like he’s freaking Socrates or some shit.” He glared at me. “Plumbing is like life,” he mimicked. I forced myself not to laugh, which was hard because, in hindsight, it was a pretty stupid thing to say. Instead, I ignored the fact that he called me hot and focused on the fact that he was having a meltdown in the local home improvement store.

“It had nothing to do with the fact that Mika was adorable. There was just something so sweet about him, but now and then, there’d be a look in his eyes that told me he’d been through some shit. It was that wary, wounded look that had first caught my attention. It made me want to find out who’d hurt him so I could make sure it never happened again. Being protective wasn’t new for me—hell, it was in my job description—but I’d never felt the urge to hunt someone down and seek retribution before. But for him, I did.”
