His thumb continues gliding up and down my skin, creating maddening friction. “All you need to know is that I don’t like him close to you.”
“Why?”
“Because.”
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
“It wasn’t supposed to.”
“Wait. Is it because of your attraction to the same type of women?” I can’t believe I haven’t thought about that before now. It makes complete sense that Jonathan wants me away from Ethan because he thinks Ethan also sees me the way he does.
His thumb halts as he narrows his eyes. “How do you know about that?”
“Ethan told me.”
“Ethan told you,” he repeats with a lethal edge. “What else did he tell you?”
“He said you used to have threesomes and share women, and that you’re attracted to the same type.”
“And then he said he could be better than me, didn’t he? I’m going to fucking murder him.”
“He didn’t say that.”
“He always said that to the women.” His lips twists. “In fact, he didn’t need to. They gravitated towards him anyway.”
“What do you mean?”
He pauses, and I suspect he won’t answer my question, as usual, when he feels pressed, but then he speaks quietly. “In the past, I was always the one the women wanted to fuck, but the one they envisioned a relationship with was Ethan.”
Oh. Jonathan feels like I would be like them. Far from it. It’s crazy, but I wouldn’t choose anyone above him.
“In case you didn’t notice, you’re intimidating, Jonathan.”
He narrows his eyes on me again. “Right.”
“I mean it. You have a god-like presence that no one dares to come near.”
“You did.”
“I would always choose you.”
“Always?”
“Always.”
He smiles a little before he schools his expression. “Ethan is still dead for putting the idea in your head.”
“Stop it.”
“Don’t try to protect him. His life is over.”
“I’m not.” I smile tentatively. “He really didn’t make that suggestion.”
And if he had, I would’ve definitely protected him. Judging by Jonathan’s reaction, he really wouldn’t hesitate to hurt him.
“Ethan is guilty until proven innocent.”
“It should be the other way around, Jonathan.”
