Chapter 23 A Flicker Of Jealousy

• He was jealous.
• It had taken him a while to recognize the problem; jealousy was not an emotion that had played any part in his life up to now. Even two days later, he still couldn’t believe it. But when he’d seen Aria in Pete’s arms, he’d been filled with a primitive urge to rip the man away from her, toss him down the stairs, and lock Aria in her room where he could keep her to himself.
• Of course, he hadn’t, but the fact that it had even occurred to him was very strange. In fact, his whole life seemed to have taken on a surreal quality since he’d met Aria.
