I stared at her, then left without saying anything.
I couldn’t believe what I had done.
Well, I could believe it.
I had always thought her interesting, attractive, and without the pretense of Josh Kelley, that connection that I’d suspected we could form had grown into something.
Still, I was doing the very last thing I should be doing.
At some point, Petrosyan interests would require me to move on. And what would happen then?
There was no way I could leave her out there, a loose end that could come back to bite us.
But the other alternatives…
They weren’t alternatives.
I told myself that I should heed my own words and recognize that sleeping with her didn’t change anything.
Told myself it was true.
Knew in my heart it was a lie.
Sleeping with Amethyst changed everything.
I would have to trust myself to deal with the fallout.
