said any more. "She promised me things and I completely believed her."
    Amanda rolled her eyes. She didn't believe he was not at fault at all. Not after what he had done. He had to be bonkers if he thought he could get away with it.
    "She promised you things? Like particular sex acts?"
    Tommy winced.
    "That's not what I meant."
    "I know exactly what you mean. And don't try and play innocent with me, Tommy. I caught you in our bed doing...that act with that bitch." There were certain sex acts Amanda wished didn't exist and what she had seen was one of them. "And then, you had the nerve to turn up to my best mate's party with her and gloat that it's better with someone who hasn't got rolls of fat flopping all over the place."
    Tommy grimaced but not quickly enough. Amanda saw the glint of amusement in his eyes for a brief moment.
    "I was unkind, wasn't I?"
    "Unkind? That's an understatement. I'm glad we're not together anymore and if you're going to be that disgusting about my body you can forget about getting any forgiveness from me."
    Amanda couldn't believe she could still be seething after two weeks but the hurt was still there. She also couldn't believe the gall Tommy had thinking he could actually waltz back into her life like nothing had ever happened. Something had gone wrong with the other woman. He must have got bored and gone back to something safe.
    She wasn't going to be someone he could go running back to whenever he got homesick. She was not that kind of person.
    "Come on, baby." Tommy reached for her but Amanda stepped away. He was speaking in a way Amanda had heard before; the lazy drawl that tried to make him sound like he was the one who had done nothing wrong. "We had something great. I made a mistake and I regret it."
    "I'm glad you regret it." Amanda snapped. Her patience was wearing thin by now. "But I don't regret ending it with you. You had one chance with me and you blew it." She turned away. "Get lost and don't contact me anymore."
    She yelped when she was grabbed from behind. Tommy swung her back round, gripping her arms in a tight hold. He hauled her up close to him, their faces inches apart. His eyes were narrowed and angry.
    "I'll go when I'm good and ready. And I'm not leaving until I have you with me."
    "Let me go."
    Amanda struggled but Tommy's grip tightened.
    "Mandy, listen to me."
    "Let me go!" Amanda cried.
    She kicked out and caught Tommy just below the knee but although he grunted and buckled, he didn't let up on the grip on her arms. He straightened up and hauled her close, right up against his body. Amanda gasped when she felt his erection against her stomach. She couldn't believe it. He was turned on from the aggression? The thought made her feel sick.
    "The lady said let her go."
    Amanda heard the familiar voice and nearly sagged in relief. Grayson! She had forgotten about him. Now he felt like a saviour.
    Grayson was coming towards them. He looked at Tommy, hands clenched by his sides and a stony look on his face. Amanda was reminded of a huge bear prowling through the woods on a hunt.
    She tried to go to him but Tommy tugged her back and pushed her behind him. Then he squared up to Grayson.
    "Who the hell are you?" He demanded. He tried to make himself look big but even at five-ten he looked puny next to Grayson's huge form.
    "I'm a friend." Grayson glanced at Amanda before looking back at Tommy. "And I suggest you leave right now before I call the cops."
    For a moment Amanda thought Tommy was going to charge Grayson and silently hoped that he would so she could have the pleasure of seeing him get knocked down. But he decided against it, settling for a scowl in Grayson's direction before glancing at her.
    "I'll call you later, Mandy." He muttered before turning away.
    Amanda mentally made a note to disconnect the phone and turn her cell off. As Tommy slunk off, Grayson approached her. His expression became one of concern and his eyes raked over her.
    "You okay?"
    "I think so."
