Chapter 29
Unsure
I glared at Chase. “You have some nerve hitting Gabe..”
Chase wiped the blood off his face with his shirt. A few rips showed in his suit pants. He stretched his face and cracked his neck. “Your finger was in his mouth.”
“I’m dating him now.” I placed my hands on my hips. “So get used to it.”
“Get used to it?” He slung his bloody shirt on my couch and stalked toward me with the fluid movements of a predator. A wild expression set on his face. I
had to force myself to not run away screaming.
In fact, if Troy hadn’t been in the other room I probably would have raced away.
Chase paused an inch in front of me. “Get used to it? You sure about that?”
“Yes.” I stared at his huge bare chest instead of his eyes and formed my hands into tight little fists. “We had an agreement. I date who I want and if you don’t like it, then I walk away.”
He sneered. “I’m sorry, but walking away from me is no longer an option.”
I backed up into the wall.
Movement came from the guest room.
Then the door clicked. I figured Vivian was forcing Troy to stay in the room and not run out and attack Chase. If she was, then I was glad. I doubted Chase would get my brother out of jail if Troy beat him to a pulp.
“Can I confess something to you?” He tilted his head to the side. Anger glazed his eyes.
“Go ahead.” I swallowed.
“When I first saw you I thought you were from a high society family, and later I discovered you came from poverty.” He rubbed his face. “I was sad for you, but excited that I could be the man to spoil and provide you with things you’d never dreamed of.”
“Where are you going with this?” I didn’t want him straying away from the real problem—him assaulting my friend for absolutely no reason.
“I was supposed to give you firsts. I was supposed to change your idea about love and relationships.” He touched his chest. “But from the very first moment in Pyramid you changed the damned game.” He closed the distance between us. “You had me groveling. Then every day since you’ve been opening my mind to new experiences and feelings. You’ve been fun and exciting to be around.”
“What does this have to do with you hitting Gabe?”
“Everything,” he snarled.
“Then get to it.” I was getting frustrated and didn’t care if he knew it.
“Dawn, Wendy, and even Lucy at times have come to me crying and distraught about our situation. I’d do my best to console them and say they would get used to it, but I never truly understood how they felt.” His breath brushed against my forehead right before he kissed it.
Energy pulsed where his lips touched my skin.
I edged to the side.
He moved with me.
I placed my hands against his warm chest. “Back up a little.”
