He cups my chest, biting my lips and I arch my body.
When his hand goes beneath my shirt and begins moving upward, I freeze.
“Damnit!” I growl out and push against his chest.
If the situation was different I would have laughed at the surprised look on his face. But I am too angry at this point to feel anything else.
“What’s going on?” he asks as he lowers me to the ground. I fist my hands at my sides and stare at him, only I don’t see him. I’m sure he thinks I am pissed at him, but this has nothing to do with him.
I turn around, grab my keys, and walk for the door.
“Where are you going?” Leo hollers out and I should feel bad for leaving him in his current condition but I don’t. I know with one call he’ll be able to fix his problem.
“To kill a man,” I say in response knowing he will have no idea what I am talking about. He already knows I am a little wild.
Climbing into my Jeep I connect my phone to my Bluetooth and find the number in my contacts.
“Hey,” Adley answers. I know she is the last one that will fight me on this. She is almost as crazy as me. We do not judge one another, and if I’m being honest, she is the first person I would call if I killed someone and needed help hiding the body.
“What’s Aaron’s address?”
“Booty call?”
“Possible murder,” I say. “Definitely bloodshed, a lot of yelling and not the good kind.”
“What did he do?”
“He killed my ability to have random hot sex with the dirty boy mechanic.”
“Leo?” She has heard all my secrets.
“It used to be so easy. Leo would pop in, things would get a little crazy, and we’d both leave satisfied.”
“And now?”
I take a deep breath and grip the steering wheel tighter.
“Now my head is filled with Aaron like being with anyone else is somehow cheating on him. But he and I are nothing, we won’t be nothing, and he needs to get the hell out of my head.” I hear her laugh. “All those little ideas in your head need to disappear, because after tonight, he and I will barely be able to be in the same room without killing one another.”
“There was a time Rory and I were in that same situation and now look at us,” she pops off, and by the tone of her voice I already know she is smiling.
“Address,” I ignore her, because I need to save my anger for another. I need to keep my frame of mind set on one goal.
She tells me how to get to his place and tells me to make sure I go left instead of right at the fork. “You show up in this state on his parents’ doorstep, you’ll probably frighten his mother.” She ends the call and I already know she’s giving Rory the scoop.
I sit in silence, stewing over my current situation. I refrain from turning up the music on the drive, because I do not need anything taming my mood.
When I turn left and go over a couple hills, a lit beautiful home comes into view.
Slowing to a stop I put my Jeep into park and just stare.
It takes about three minutes for the front door to open and for Aaron to step out onto the front porch. A covered porch with big welcoming chairs on it.
He steps out a little further and damn it if he isn’t wearing a pair of sweats too. But truth, they look so much better on him.
I shake the dirty thoughts from my head and climb out, leaving my Jeep running. I have no intentions of staying.
Aaron says nothing, just stares ahead with his hands on his hips as I walk toward him.
