“Rule #2?” he said accusingly.
“Huh?”
He closed the distance between us and I backed up and my back hit the closet door. I didn’t like the intimidating vibe coming off him.
“Rule#2; do not discuss me with anyone. You give her even a little she’ll keep at yo
u for more.”
I shook my head, “I didn’t. And are we still seriously about that?”
“That’s not what it looked like when I found you and Sarah Martinez in the kitchen and yeah, when did I say the rules no longer applied?”
Seriously?
I shook my head, “All she said was…”
“I heard her. I’m just reminding you.”
“I didn’t forget,” I said softly.
“Good.”
“Where’s your necklace?” I asked softly, seeing it wasn’t around his neck.
He rolled his eyes, “I took it off last time I worked out. This has nothing to do with the fucking necklace,” he snapped.
“Doesn’t it?” I asked.
He got even closer to me, “I don’t want you discussing me with anyone.”
“I wasn’t.” I defended, feeling intimidated by his body language.
“If I hadn’t come in when I had, what would you have said?”
“Nothing more than what I said. She obviously saw us in the kitchen last night practically doing it on the counter and was fishing to hear good things. She knows how I felt before and she’s obviously just noticing the change. I wouldn’t have…”
He cut me off, “I’m very private.”
“I know. She’s just happy for you, Tommy.”
“I don’t want you discussing me with anyone.”
“I won’t.” My heart sank, “You didn’t mind what I said to Ruby.”
His expression softened and he touched my face with his fingertips.
“I did nothing wrong.”
“Your father will be here in half an hour. Are you coming to talk to him?” he changed the subject but kept caressing my face, his eyes warm and filled with apology.
I nodded, “I don’t know what I’ll say. Maybe I’ll just see what he has to say. Can you put your err…necklace on, please?”
Tommy nodded and then pulled me close, “I love you,” he whispered into my hair.
I squeezed, “I love you, too.”
He moaned deep in his throat and held me for a minute, “I could say that a thousand times a day to you just to hear you say it back.”
