froze. My feet
felt like they weighed a million pounds. I noticed his hands were
fisted at his sides. He was furious and looked more than ready to
kick my ass. I knew he’d never physically hurt me before, but in
the current situation, he looked so dangerous that I couldn’t be
sure if the same held true now.
    He was larger than I remembered; as
impossible as that should be. His black hair was now a little
longer, but just enough to give him the bed-head ‘I wake up looking
this hot every single day’ look.
    He had to be the sexiest man I’d ever
seen.
    Get it together Lex ! None of that
matters now. He’s here to take my world from me .
    I waited for him to say something, but he
remained quiet and very, very still; his eyes never veering away
from mine. I felt naked under his gaze. I couldn’t do this.
    I let the grocery bags slowly slide down my
arms to the steps and I listened as random items fell through the
cracks. So be it.
    As soon as I was free, I whipped my body
around and started running down the steps.
    I heard Landyn shout. “Lexi! Get your ass
back here!” His voice thundered, but I just kept running. I had no
idea where I was going I just knew I couldn’t let him catch me.
“Lex, stop!” I didn’t think so. I made it to the side street and
flew across without even looking.
    “Lexi!” I heard him shout again, but this
time Landyn’s voice sounded panicked.
    I made it to the park across the street and
slowed just a bit to catch my breath while deciding which way to
go. I was about to veer to the right when Landyn slammed into my
back. Somehow he managed to twist us around so we landed on our
sides.
    Ouch! Shit that hurt!
    His grip constricted on my waist and he
quickly maneuvered his body to roll on top of me. I was winded
now.
    “Jesus Lexi! Did I hurt you?” he asked while
his eyes studied my body. I just shook my head, still trying to
suck air into my lungs, but his weight made it hard.
    “What the hell were you doing? Have you lost
your God damn mind? You almost got hit by a fucking car!” he
shouted. I didn’t answer him. Instead I asked in a small voice,
“Can you please get off me?”
    “No,” he growled at me, infuriated.
    “Landyn, please get off me,” I asked softly
and nicely. His eyes squeezed tight and I watched his jaw clench.
“You keep my daughter from me for six fucking years and the
first thing you do when you see me is run . Now you want me
to let you get up so you can run again?” He paused before roaring,
“Are you out of your fucking mind?”
    I would have preferred he slap me. It was my
turn to close my eyes and turned my head to the side. I felt a
single tear slide across my temple. “I’m sorry Landyn, please just
let me up. I promise I won’t run,” I whispered unevenly. He lifted
his free hand to wrap under my chin. He softly turned my face to
towards his, but I kept my eyes closed.
    “Look at me,” he ordered so close to my face
I could feel his breath on my lips. I opened my eyes to see that he
was only an inch away. His eyes were staring into mine and his
fingers on my waist dug in deep.
    “This is your only warning, Lexi,” he said
in a frighteningly low, deep, rough voice. “I just got a glimpse of
my precious baby girl. I want to see her. I want to know her.” He took a few deep breaths before continuing. “I
can’t believe you did this to me. I can’t believe I have a daughter
that doesn’t even know who I am. How could you keep her from me?”
He sounded tormented.
    My tears were now falling helplessly
now.
    He continued. “I left my information with
Trish. I’m giving you two days Lexi. You’ve got two days to get
your shit together and come see me so we can talk and I’m warning
you, don’t run from me again. You understand me?” he finished
loudly. I couldn’t do anything, but nod. He let go of my chin and
waist and pushed himself to his feet. As he looked down at me, he
reached out his hand to help me up, which was nice,
