“Pretty sure she’s kissing me,” he corrected.

“Whatever.”

“Why do you seemekissingher?”

“Does the order really matter, Rukem? You’re both kissing.”

“You want me to be straight and I want you to be straight. Why did you see me as kissing her and not her as kissing me?”

“I don’t see a difference. All I see is your mouths pretty damn connected in a kiss.”

“And you’re angry about it,” he concluded.

She faced him more. “Okay, let’s shoot straight. Is that what you want?”

“Yes.”

“I see thatyou’rekissing her becauseyou’renot stopping herifshe instigated the kiss.”

“I can assure you I’m not instigating it.”

“So you’re saying she instigates the kiss?”

“No, I’m not.”

“Well, your goddamn lips aren’t having a frickn’ wreck are they? And while we’re shooting straight, I do find it odd how very furious you got over Ace taking Sophia when you knew the episodes she had were common occurrence and not a real danger to her.”

He stared at her and looked away with a dry chuckle. “So you think I secretly like Sophie and want to kiss her, is that it? If anything it would be the other way around Miss Summers.”

“Ohreally, Mr. King.”

“Let me put the argument to rest. Ask any of the Kings how long she’s had a crush on me and your accusations will be nullified.”

She stared at him. “Is that a fact,” she muttered, her anger and pain mixing up a numbing concoction. “Maybe I’ll ask Vale. He’ll probably think you liked the attention she gave more than you realized, and I just might agree.”

“Yeah? You cansurelygo to Vale and listen to whatever he says. As I’m sure you know he has a crush on you. Maybe you got the idea because you like the attention he gives more than you realize.”

Her jaw hardened and she yanked open her door, storming toward the building, hearing him following.

She realized he wasn’t stopping her but he was damn sure following. Good, let him follow.Let him fuck with me, I’ll give him a knee in his royal balls.

At her door, she stopped and turned. “I’m going to bed.”

“I want to talk.”

“Aboutwhat?Who is kissing who? No thank you. Leave me alone.”

She turned and went in and he followed. She stared at him in her apartment, pacing like he owned the place.

She walked out. “I’ll just get a ride home.”

He was suddenly before her. “Wait. I want to talk to you and not about the kiss.”

She crossed her arms, looking left and right then spun back around, heading to her apartment. He wanted to come in, fine, let him come.

She made her way to her bedroom closet and got comfortable clothes to change into then she went to the bathroom, finding Rukem in it. “Really?” she cried.

“Tell me about your ex.”
