‘What’s the point of a boyfriend if he goes nowhere with you?’ I said as I took the dishes she rinsed and placed them in the dishwasher.
‘What’s it to you?’ Her words were sharp, defensive.
‘Nothing, just seems that he never does anything for you.’
‘He does.’
‘Why do you care? Why are you even here? You tolerate my brother, and you hate me.’
I put a bowl down as she rounded on me with her wet hands and narrowed eyes.
‘I don’t hate you.’
‘Then why are you always avoiding me and sitting around with a face like a dog that’s chewed on a bee?’
‘Maybe,’ I said, stepping closer to her as she bumped back against the counter, ‘It’s not hate. I just think you give Tommy too much credit. He’s probably out fucking some groupie right now while you are pining over him.’
She swallowed hard as I boxed her in between the counter and my body, gazing down at her eyes as I’d wanted to the night before. Wanting to whisper in her ear that I knew exactly what she’d been up to, that I knew exactly what she needed. But I couldn’t. Not without outing myself.
‘And what? You think you’d be any better?’
‘I bet I could make you fucking scream, Katie. When was the last time he did that? Does he make you squeal into your pillow every night?’
Before I could continue, she slapped me hard across the cheek, the burn setting me alight.
She swallowed hard, and I broke, reaching up and wrapping a hand around her throat as she leaned back against the cabinet behind her. Her breath turned ragged as my cheek stung. ‘He doesn’t, does he?’
‘There’s more to relationships than that.’ Her voice wavered, sending vibrations through my hand. I pressed a thumb up against her jawline, tipping her head up toward me.
‘Does he leave you feeling weak at the knees, Katie? Because you look in the need of a good fuck to me.’
Her hand slipped around my wrist as she pushed me away. ‘You’d be the last person I’d ever consider.’
I chuckled to myself as she left me to finish cleaning up. It had been risky, but feeling her pulse quicken against my fingers had been worth it. Seeing those big eyes dilate at the pressure on her throat had made the whole lunch worthwhile.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
KATIE
What the hell was happening to my life?
Even after an afternoon trying to distract myself by shopping with Macey and Erica, I was still fuming from lunch by the time I got home a few hours later.
First Tommy spirals and starts acting even more out of sorts, then I'm stalked to my home, and then Mac starts saying I look like I need to get laid.
Well, fuck him. I practically did get laid.
Kind of.
Thinking back to my night with the masked man lit me up and I cursed Mac for bringing him back into my mind.
No.
It was all wrong.
If he came back I'd do the right thing and call the police. Or Cameron. They didn't need to know I'd let him in once. It would be his word against mine.
Who did Mac even think he was to talk to me about Tommy like that? He barely knew either of us. Hell, he barely ever even spoke to me. Clearly, he was just jealous. Envious of Tommy and his celebrity status. That had to be it.
