“I would, but she rang in sick, according to Michelle. Tummy trouble, wasn’t it?”
AJ smirked, and it took everything I had not to wrap my hands around his fucking throat.
“We said that to give us more time fucking.”
He gazed at me with delight as I tried to hold it together, the elevator doors sliding smoothly shut without one of us holding it open.
My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I answered it without looking at the caller ID.
My voice was hoarse, and my stomach churned at the thought of AJ fuckingmyElizabeth.
Elizabeth wouldn’t —She wouldn’t.
“Hello?”
“Reign, it's Tye. I just wanted you to know I’m going to see Lizzie. She’s asked me to meet her, and she sounds...weird.”
My stomach dropped. “Weird, how?”
This was beyond a joke now. Elizabeth had calledTye,not me.
“I dunno... worried? Scared? Look, I’ll get her to call you, alright?”
“You do that. Did she say where she was?”
Tye fell silent, and I laughed bitterly.
“She doesn’t want me to know, right?”
“I’m sorry, man. I’ll get her to call you.”
I ended the call without saying another word, striding out of the office before I exploded.
So Elizabeth must have fucked AJ, and that's why she didn't want to see me.
Why?
She said she was falling for me.
My head ached, and it had nothing to do with the lack of sleep.
It’s Elizabeth.
If Elizabeth fucked AJ—if—I needed to know why. I wanted her to look me in the eye and tell me why.
Was it because I shut her out?
Or because I said I was just a Dom to her?
I'm a stupid fucking bastard. I should have told her. I should have told her everything.
Including that, I’m in love with her too.
Stepping into the cool air did nothing to calm my agony.
Despite me calling her countless times, Elizabeth had called Tye.
Why not me?
