Gent may have given her an off vibe, but at least he was being a gentleman.
She used the bathroom, which was surprisingly clean and orderly. He even had scented hand soap.Nice.She dried her hands and neatly folded the towel. She opened the door and walked into the bedroom as the door from the hall opened. She expected to see Gent again.
Oh shit.
She froze when she saw Cross enter and walk between the bed and couch. This would’ve been bad enough, but of course it had to be worse. He wasn’t alone. There was a woman only a few steps behind him.
She gripped the edge of her shirt, clearly intending on taking it off when they made eye contact. The corner of her mouth curled as she shifted her gaze to Cross, who was bent over the table with his back to them.
“I’m up for a threesome if you are.”
Oh God.Her stomach twisted, and her heart pounded. Heat rushed through her body. A threesome?Oh, hell no!
Cross straightened to face the woman, then looked over at Addison, meeting her stare with a darkened gaze. It was clear from the lines marring his forehead and his pulsing temple she was the last person he’d expected to see right now.You invited me!Cross slowly turned, giving off a heavy predatory vibe. It was the same look a lion gave before pouncing.
An imminent explanation was vital. She drew in a breath, fully prepared to give one, but she never got the chance.
“What the hell are you doing in here?” His venomous tone sent a chill down her spine and a spike in her already erratic heartbeat. She licked her lips, and for a moment, she was unable to speak. Cross was making it clear his patience was dwindling before her eyes.
Her hand shook as she hooked her thumb over her shoulder. “Gent said I could use his bathroom.”
Cross’s brows dipped, and he glanced past her shoulder. His jaw squared, and his gaze shifted back to her as his eyes narrowed.
“My bathroom.”
What?
“This ismyfucking room.”
I’m going to kill Gent!
She held up her hands, shaking her head. “I didn’t know.” She swallowed the lump in her throat, nervously pointing to the door. She didn’t bother trying to control her trembling arm, which Cross immediately zoned in on. “I’m going to go. And I’m so sorry. I would never intentionally invade your space, I swear. Again, I’m sorry.”
Cross scanned her face, and his gaze drifted down her body, lingering over her chest. He could’ve been zoning in on her breasts, but she had a distinct feeling his focus was on her pounding heart.
“Get out.”
Addison nodded and started forward, but Cross stepped in front of her, blocking her path.
“Not you.” His growl sent a shiver over her skin.
He glanced over his shoulder toward the woman. “Get out.”
The girl widened her eyes and tapped her finger on her chest. “Me? But…”
“Get out.” His booming voice was directed at the other woman, but his heated stare was pinned on Addison.
“Fine. I’ll get it from someone else.”
Get what? Sex?Oh, this was disturbing. The door slammed shut, and Addison jumped slightly. Cross on the other hand, hadn’t moved a muscle.
“I should go.”
“Did I tellyouto get out?”
Well, no, but…She swallowed the lump in her throat, and he inched closer. “No, but you were obviously about to…”
He arched his brow. “About to what?”
