As he spoke, all the pieces started to snap in place. Suddenly, everything was excruciatingly clear. Now it made sense how he’d always been able to say the right things to me while we’d been having sex. His patience, his words, his touches, his fake compliance in the bedroom…it all made sense now. Killian had known that he’d be taking a damaged woman to his bed, so he’d been prepared, his words and actions scripted. Yeah, I had suspected, but I never imagined how deep his deceit.
“Is that a thing for you?” I asked, hurt lacing each word.
His head jerked a little. “What?”
“Does your dick get hard for rape victims?” I bit out harshly, not caring how unfair my words might be. “Is that your kink? Does it get you off to know that the women you’re fucking are broken?”
“Are you fucking insane?” he spat. “What the fuck do you take me for?”
I lifted my chin. “You’re a philanthropist that dedicates his time and money on rape and domestic violence,” I practically sneered. “You willingly surround yourself with nothing but victims who are a result of horrible violence, so why wouldn’t I think that you’d want one in your bed, too?”
He looked livid. “That’s not what the fuck this is, Posie. You have no idea what you’re talking about-”
“Then why in the hell wouldn’t you tell me?!” I yelled.
“Because I didn’t know how!” he yelled back.
I shook my head, my emotions threatening to drown me. “Why did you do another background check on me anyways?”
“Posie-”
“Why did you do another background check?” I hissed.
“I…I needed to know more about you before deciding if I wanted to pursue this-”
“Oh, God,” I choked out. “So, this was a…what? Business decision? A…a calculated choice?” I couldn’t believe how cold I felt. “Is that something you do with all the women you fuck?”
“I wasn’t out to fuck you,” he snapped. “I wanted a relationship with you, so I had to make sure-”
“That I was worthy?” I taunted. “That I was rich enough? That my pedigree was pure? What?”
“Posie, it’s not like-”
“Don’t tell me what it’s like!” I yelled again. “All I know is that you invaded my privacy, and then didn’t even have the decency to tell me!”
“It’s not that simple,” he argued, and I didn’t want to hear anything else that he had to say.
“Get out,” I hissed. “Get the hell out of my house, Killian.”
“Posie-”
“Get out,” I repeated. “Or is that what gets you off? Ignoring what a woman wants?”
Killian’s entire frame snapped straight, and the look in his eyes was enough to send someone with common sense fleeing.
However, I was beyond common sense at this point.
With his eyes shooting fire, his jaw clenched, and anger radiating off his entire body, Killian stormed past me, then out of my condo, making sure to slam the door behind him with enough force to let me know that this was goodbye.
I stood in my living room, not knowing what to feel. Anger, humiliation, and sorrow were a triple threat tornado, whirling all around me, and I really had no idea what to do.
However, I knew someone that would.
Chapter 26
Killian~
I wasn’t a good man, and I never pretended to be. I might have had the chance to be one before Ellie’s attack, but those days were over. Still, to be accused of enjoying the same thrill that a rapist enjoyed had done enough damage that I’d had to get out of Posie’s condo before doing or saying something irreparable.
