feelings for each other.  I despise him and every time he lays a finger on me.
    “What is it, Davyd?” I ask, clearly annoyed.
    He looks at me and the look on his face makes me think I’m dealing with the devil himself.
    “Fine, stay standing, for now.”  He waves his hand through the air like he’s brushing me off.  “You’re going to get a call from Eddie asking you to come in for a meeting.  He’s going to tell you there will be some changes on the show and he wants you to keep your distance from Tucker.”
    “Excuse me?  Keep my distance from Tucker?  Is this fucking junior high school?  I fucked his girlfriend.  We’re adults, aren’t we?  He needs his best friend to fight his battles now? People can get the fuck over it.”
    “Ha.  I knew you’d feel that way and nice using Melanie to get rid of her, by the way.  I knew you were cruel, but that was a great touch.  I was impressed.  Don’t look at me like that.  I’ve told you before, I’m watching you.  Maybe you’ll start to realize now that you’re mine.”
    I want to argue with him, tell him I’m not anybody’s, but the words lodge in my throat.  He knows too much about me.
    “Speaking of Mel, you’ll call her tomorrow and apologize for your deplorable treatment of her.”
    “The hell I will,” I bark out.
    “We’ll get back to her later.  For now, we need to finish discussing Eddie.”
    “Davyd, you can’t just walk in here and tell me who I will and will not apologize to.  That’s not the deal we had.”  I’m starting to lose my temper and for the first time in five years, I’m contemplating walking away from my plans.  His interference in my life is getting out of control.
    “How cute.  You think you have a choice,” he says with smug authority.  “Look at this and tell me you won’t be calling Melanie in the morning.”
    I grab his cell phone from his outstretched hand and tap the screen.  Oh God!  I’ve never been so glad to have an empty stomach.  A video of the one time I met Davyd at a motel plays across the screen, sickening me.  Seeing what he does to my body, the pleasure he takes from me, makes me feel dirty all over again.
    How did I not know he had a camera in the room?
    “You will do what I say or I will make sure that video goes viral.  Understand?”
    “But you’re on the video, too.”
    “If you think I can’t alter myself out of the video, you aren’t as smart as I’ve been giving you credit for.”
    My body hums with barely restrained anger.  Davyd knows I’m close to ending our arrangement so he resorts to blackmail?  He knows that video will destroy my career and the fan base I’ve worked my ass off to build.  I need both of those things in place for my plan to work.
    “I see you comprehend what I’m saying.”  He grabs his phone and watches the images on the screen for a minute with a smile on his face.
    I want to shove that fucking phone down his throat, see how he likes unwanted things shoved into his body.  I would take pleasure in that.
    “Now, back to Eddie.  He met with the entire writing staff and a new storyline has been written for this upcoming season.  The cast didn’t know the old storyline so it won’t matter to them, but you did and it’s going to be a big ass deal to you.”
    Hearing him say ‘ass’ makes me cringe.
    “You’re dead at the end of this season.”
    “What?”
    “And Tucker’s character kills yours,” he continues, like I never asked a question.
    “What the fuck do you mean Tucker’s character kills mine?” I roar.  There is no more containing my rage.  A beast rips through the veiled exterior I’ve kept so perfectly in place.
    “Tucker?  Tucker?  Is this your idea of a sick joke, Davyd?  Your way of trying to see how far you can push me?”
    Fear should emanate in his eyes with the rage pouring out of mine, but he still looks at me with that fucking smirk.  I want to rip his lips clear off his face.
    “You’ll
