Therefore, when Eve showed up, my mind had been elsewhere, on the fact Sky continued to make a damn sucker of me.
The pretty blonde knocked on my open office door and said, “I don’t think I can go on.”
My eyes narrowed. “Huh?”
Eve mangled her hands together like she always did when she was anxious. “I can’t sing tonight.”
Holy hell. I thought the girl might tell me she couldn’t keep quiet about what had happened between us the other night.
“Shut the door,” I instructed her.
I sat behind my desk so she couldn’t see the raging hard on I’d instantly gotten thinking of our time together.
Eve leaned against the closed door. “Sorry. Opry said to let you know.”
“Why not? Why can’t you sing tonight?” I asked, harshly, almost pounding my fist on my desk.
I’d worked so hard coaching her, and we’d had an exceptional performance earlier in the week. Not the one in the bedroom, but the one on stage before this unfortunate business with Sky lying to me and the aftermath.
“I just can’t.” Eve tugged at the scarf covering her neck.
“Is this about the bruises?” I sucked in my bottom lip.
“This scarf is hideous and yes, everyone knows about. My bruises. And about Hallow. What he did to me. I’m mortified.” She wrenched the scarf off, revealing her colorful neck.
Fuck. I’d done that to her, and she’d loved every fucking second of it.
“At least they think he put them here,” Eve said, knowingly.
“Eve,” I warned at the mention of her talking about what we’d done.
My erection knocked against my leather pants, begging to come out. Not only were her bruises teasing me, reminding me of choking her while fucking her and her getting off so hard, Eve had revealed her subtle cleavage. Knowing what her tits tasted like, they called to me. I stood, though it was hard to. But I fought the urge to go to her and have her against the wall again.
“I ain’t going to tell anyone.” She stroked her neck. "It’s between us.” Her fingers carelessly ended up in her bosom for a moment as she went on, “I don’t know what you think of me now. I ain’t the type of girl that does something like that usually. I want to be mad at you, but I was in a bad place myself.”
I noticed her engagement ring was as gone as mine. Had it been gone the other night? I hadn’t cared or looked.
“You don’t need to worry about what I think,” I said.
She didn’t want to know what I thought. I thought about fucking her again.
“This business with Hallow. What he did to you.” I tried to focus on my anger at him, so I didn’t lose my control with her.
“Everyone says you’re going to kick him out or worse.”
“What do you want me to do?”
She dipped her head and lifted a shoulder. “Don’t. I think you already hurt him pretty bad.”
“I did. I’d do it again. He deserves much worse.” Anger rose in me just thinking of it.
“I agree, partly, but I can’t be the reason for him getting kicked out.”
“I can’t make any promises.” I wanted to kill him for hurting her. I wanted to hurt her myself but only to get her off.
“He’s back with his ex.” Eve pulled in her lips until they disappeared. Her eyes watered and she reached up to wipe one.
An urge settled in my loins.
