“Truth?”
“That would be nice.”
“Two days.”
Jesus …
“If I weren’t engaged to Koen, would we be … more?”
Again, he yawns, rolling onto his side with his back to me. “You couldn’t possibly be more to me than you already are.”
His words strangle my heart, making it impossible to walk away. So I slide into bed and wrap my arms around him until I can feel his heart beating.
“You’re going to lose him,” Price mumbles. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
LIFE IS A JOURNEY, BUT LOVE IS AN ADVENTURE.
I awaken to a banging sound.My head spins for a second as I orientate myself.
I’m at Price’s.
The sun’s not out yet.
And Price has his arms around me, the opposite of how we fell asleep.
“I’ll get it.” I untangle from his hold while he incoherently mumbles.
I run my fingers through my hair on the way to the door and yawn while opening it. And then … my world implodes.
Koen stares at me. His gaze is lifeless, the kind that doesn’t radiate any love or even an ounce of recognition. It’s as if he’s looking through me.
He removes his hat to scratch his head and then replaces it. “Before you fuck another guy, you should turn off your location. I’m going to end him.” He steps inside, forcing me to move out of his way. “It won’t fix us, but I will end him.”
“Koen, no!” I snag his arm.
He jerks out of my hold.
“Stop!” I grab at him again, this time getting a better grip. “We didn’t do anything!”
Koen stops for a second when Price appears at the entrance to his bedroom, slowly threading his arms into his T-shirt.
“Couldn’t keep your goddamn hands off her.” Koen charges at him.
I lose leverage. “No!”
Price doesn’t even flinch, but I do. It takes me a moment to react after Koen’s fist connects with Price’s face for the first time. And my scream sounds like a shallow echo in my head when he hits him a second time. Price stumbles backward a few steps, but he stays on his feet.
He doesn’t speak.
He doesn’t try to fight back.
I begin to rush toward him. His gaze cuts to mine while he rubs his jaw and gives me a sharp headshake.
Koen turns to leave, but I remain, blocking the doorway, keeping my attention on Price the whole time.
“Move or I will move you,” Koen says.
