Well, spare time that wasn't spent worrying about my mom or fucking my husband.
Lily's mansion was as glorious as could be.
I expected nothing less for someone who was born into old money.
As I gave my name at the intercom to the gates, I anticipated not being permitted entry, then someone pressed the button and they folded inward, allowing me to creep along the driveway that was a perfect foil for the grand house while also showcasing the beginning of the season's passage from fall to winter.
It was a little early for the Halloween displays, but I dug the hell out of it as I took in a pumpkin that had to weigh over four hundred pounds and had been carved into a dragon.
At least, I thought it was a dragon.
Squinting at it as I pulled up, I reached for my cellphone and tapped out:
Me:Just because he self-sabotages doesn’t take away my right to be furious with him. I self-sabotage all the time and he gives me shit for it.
Conor:I never said that it took away your right to be angry.
No, I had to concede. He hadn’t said that.
Conor:But you have to ask yourself is love so fickle that you can forget all about it when he fucks up?
Me:That isn’t fair.
Conor:The truth rarely is.
Me:If you love Star, then you should forgive her too.
Conor:Who said I won’t?
Me:You’re angry with her.
Conor:I’ll spank her ass when I catch up with her, but catch up I will…
Conor:That’s what happens when someone belongs to you.
Conor:You go after them.
When he didn’t continue the conversation, I bit my lip as I stared at my cell.
I knew what he was implying—he thought Aidan would come after me.
Was it bad that I didn’t think he would? That I thought he’d go running to his mother’s house because she’d summoned all her sons to her?
The notion that he’d go to her, and not come after me, hurt.
It had no right to. She was grieving, her sons were—even if it was a weird grief—and they should be together.
But hewasmine, wasn’t he?
Heshouldcome after me, shouldn’t he?
Feeling uncertain, which pissed me off more than him lying to me, I got out of my car.
Whatever Aidan decided today, I was here for a purpose. With that purpose in mind, I headed over to my guards' SUV and waited for the driver to open the window.
I ordered Lucas, Aidan’s captain, "Stay here."
"That isn't safe—"
