My hand went to my junk, and I frowned. “I was planning on telling her the truth. That’s it.”
Vi laughed as the flight attendant approached us.
“Mr. and Ms. Parker, we’ll be leaving soon. I need you to fasten your seatbelts. If you need me after we’re up in the air and before the captain has given me the okay to move around, just push this button.”
The attendant reached across me, her tits brushing my arm, and pointed to a call button. Before Maebh, I’d probably be hauling her ass somewhere on the plane and fucking her. Now I pulled back and looked at her with an uninterested glare.
“Excuse me. I didn’t mean to reach.”
Uh-huh. Sure you didn’t.
“Thank you, sweetheart, but I’m sure we’ll be fine,” Aunt Vi said. “Please give my nephew some water though before we take off, he’s getting over the flu.”
“Of course, Ms. Parker.”
“I’m fine, Aunt Vi,” I protested.
“You’re getting over a very bad case of the flu, you’re not fine. You need to rest. After we take off, you need to go and lie down. You look like shit. I’ll keep the flirty flight attendant away. The last thing you need is more women trying to come on to you.”
I groaned and scrubbed my hands down my face. “I can’t fucking believe Kylie would do that! Why? She’s fucking married! Lives in another city, why was she screwing around with my world?”
Vi laughed like I had just asked the stupidest question ever.
“For a girl like Kylie, you were always hers.”
“I was never hers.”
“How many women have you gone back to more than twice?”
There had been plenty of women in town I’d fucked more than once. “A few.”
She sighed. “Fine, more than five times?”
My heart dropped. “Only two. Kylie and Maebh.”
Pointing, she said, “There you go. Even though this Kylie is married, she obviously still thinks you belong to her. Let’s face it, Cord. You never were the type of guy who anyone thought would settle down before thirty-five, maybe even forty.”
I frowned. “Gee, thanks, Aunt Vi.”
“It’s true. You were a player, you liked sex, and you had fun. There’s nothing wrong with that. I like sex. I like to have sex with multiple guys at the same time. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Gagging, I plugged my ears and started to sing the ABC song. It was the first thing that popped into my head. I’d sing absolutely anything to get her to stop talking, or to at least drown out her sexual fetishes.
She kicked me, making me drop my hands and look at her.
“Do you know how much you have just scarred me for life? Don’t say shit like that, Aunt Vi!”
Laughing, she waved me off yet again. “All I’m saying is this girl probably found out you were in a committed relationship and that made her jealous. Now, did she work out this plan ahead of time? Hell no. She saw Maebh texting you, and she decided to try and push her away. Did she know the poor girl would rush back to Ireland? I doubt it, but maybe she thought she could slide in and comfort you when your girlfriend all of a sudden stopped talking to you.”
“That’s fucked-up thinking.”
She shrugged. “That’s women. Not all women, but some. They like to play around and cause drama.”
“Maebh isn’t that way,” I said softly, my heart feeling like it was breaking all over again. When I found out she had gone back to Ireland, my heart felt like part of it was in Texas and the other part had been catapulted to Cork.
“No, Maebh doesn’t like drama. And that little slut knew that.”
My phone beeped with a message from Amelia.
Amelia: Found Kylie. Her husband apparently left her for another woman. Karma’s a bitch, I guess. That’s why she was back in town. She still has the same cell phone number in case you are interested in reaching out.”
I stared at the message before saying, “Amelia said she found out Kylie was back in town because her husband left her.”
“Interesting.”
Lifting my head to look at my aunt, I said, “Why is that interesting?”
“Because I’m sure the girl showed up at your place with every intent on trying to seduce you. Her husband left her, she was hurting, and her best revenge would be to sleep with the guy who had once been her fuck buddy. What’s that saying? The only way to get over a man is to get under another one? You can’t have a girlfriend standing in the way with a mission like that.”
Anger pulsed through my body. In that moment, I hated Kylie. Hated that I had given her so much of me. Spent so much time with her. I wanted to forget every single moment I had ever been with her. Wanted to erase every second I’d been with any other woman.
