That is, until her ex returns. With a new man already in her life, can Chloe keep Iñigo from ruining yet another one of her relationships, or better yet... does she even want to?

"But I still didn't have the words to say to her that would make this all go away, so I kissed her.
I ran to her and grabbed her before she could leave. I took her face into my hands and I kissed her, hard. My mouth crashes onto hers in a searing display of passion and I felt it in every bone in my body. I didn't have the words, so I needed to show her that I wanted her. I wanted all of her so much it hurt.
She resisted at first, her anger and frustration wouldn't let her kiss me back. But I held on, my tongue invaded her mouth with a desperate need that only she could cure.
And then she gave in.
She gave into my longing and need for her. She ran her delicate fingers through my hair as I grabbed fistfuls of hers. We were lost in our moment, no one else mattered around us".
