“If anything, I’m saving you from an even bigger mistake…and I’ll be waiting for my reward.” He winks at me.
If I had the strength in me to punch him, I would. I want to punch him right in that fucking chiseled jaw of his and make him pay for what he’s doing to me.
But as I contemplate his words, the reality of it all hits me, and I feel weak. I did care too much. I’ve been trying to play it off as making sure my job gets done, making this—our fake engagement—look believable because it’s what a damn good PR consultant would do.
And, with that distraction, I couldn’t stop myself from believing. With every touch, kiss, fuck we’ve shared, I fell deeper into this twisted fairytale that’s of my own making.
I thought my defenses were stronger than that—no, I thought I was smarter than that.
“I guess you’re right. I did care too much,” I say to him, defeated and humiliated. Then I turn my back towards him and head to my room, leaving him behind me.
So, yes, maybe he did save me from making one of the biggest mistakes of my life—falling in love with a King, the King David Lockridge.
