She’d proceeded to treat me as if I didn’t wanna fuck her until we were fused together; as if I wasn’t dying to fulfill the erotic fantasy that had been driving me batshit insane since I first held her in my arms. Before my very eyes, she’d transformed from sweet Missy into a different person, assertive,even forceful. She’d said her piece, as if actions didn’t have consequences. She’d even said she’d find herself some other fuck buddy.
Over my dead body.
How my head didn’t explode in that moment, I didn’t know. My temples were still throbbing. It sure as hell felt like I’d had a brain bleed. The woman had then dumped the entire shitty responsibility of having to be the adult and uphold the boundaries between us on me.
Me. The guy who didn’t wanna be the grownup in the room.
Me. The jerk who loved sex.
Me. The subpar asshole who wanted to fuck her for days on end until her pussy overflowed with my come and my dick wasted away.
My lust for this woman was eating me from the inside out.
Was it so hard for her to see that I was a professional trying to do right by her?
If all that shit wasn’t enough to make me miserable, she’d then dismissed me as if I were her fucking employee. Which I wasn’t. She’d pounded me with her Astor arrogance as if I were a lowly monkey in a zoo.
Maybe I was that, but she wasn’t my boss. I was doing her sister Thena a favor, but I worked for Dagger, for Tracker Team, and for Battle Brothers, not for Missy Uppity Astor. She couldn’t dismiss me.
Could she?
My irritation propelled my strides. Jaw clenched, hands fisted, I stalked across the grounds. People saw me coming and got out of my way. Good.Get the fuck away from me.Missy Astor had the capacity to turn me into a seething beast.
When I got to the lobby, I talked to the concierge. I told her Missy’s suitcase had gotten lost during our travels and askedher to pick out an assortment of clothing and other necessities for Missy from the hotel’s boutique. I also arranged room service for her. At the main building, I finally had enough reception to fire off a text to King.
She can’t fire me. I typed, pounding the screen.Can she?
He answered my text right away.What did you do?
Nothing. Maybe that was the problem. If she was half as frustrated by this situation as I was, then our frustrations had collided and compounded.
You must’ve done something, King texted back.
I trapped a snarl in my throat.Why do you always assume the fault is mine?
Because I know you?
FU
She’s tired. King wrote.Give her a break. Tomorrow will be another day.
Said the guy who hadn’t seen the outrage flushing her face or the fire burning around her pupils.
I’m not leaving her alone. I typed, pacing the expansive lobby.She’s my mission.
Agree. You can’t leave her alone. Simple. Don’t be an asshole.
I wasn’t an—
I stopped mid message and deleted the text. Maybe I was an asshole, but I was trying to protect her and be my best and noblest self. It was a reach. I didn’t even know if I could be my best. Or noble. Meanwhile, she’d tried to pull a powerplay on me.
Need to talk to Top Dog. Or to Thena. Maybe, if Missy spoke to her sister, she’d feel better about… everything.
We’re still in a no-contact protocol,King texted back.
“Shit.”
No news?I asked.
