None of the men in my life ever asked me to be only with them, but what if they all thought I was? When did I becomethatperson?
The longest relationship I had was three months. And it turned out I was the only one who thought we were in a relationship. I still remember how betrayed I felt when I found out he’d been seeing other people the whole time. This wasn’t a conversation I wanted to have with any of these guys, but it was going to have to happen.
Adrian couldn’t be mad, right? He even said we couldn’t be together. At least not now. Knots twist in my gut at the thought of not being with him. I know it’s impossible to stay away from him. While I might not understand how the wholematething works, I know I need him in my life.
But how could I give up Corbin? Then there’s Liam. How did I manage to complicate things so badly the first day of the new semester?
The door opens and Adrian’s handsome face and violet eyes stare out at me. “You coming in or staying out here to continue your crisis?”
My cheeks heat and I know I’m blushing. “You heard all of that?”
He nods. “Stop beating yourself up.”
“I’m so sorry,” I say. “Liam just sort of happened.”
He frowns for a moment then his expression softens. “Look, Harper. I don’t own you. And relationships are far more open in the Underworld. You can fuck who you please. Nobody cares. Well, I wouldn’t have picked the son of the King, but he’s not my type.”
“What? Really? Cause that’s not the impression I’ve had from other girls who worry about me stealing their man.”
He laughs. “Did you steal their man?”
My eyes widen. “Not exactly.” But I sort of did. I guess their fear was rooted in reality. Who knew?
“Come to class, Harper,” he says. “Worry about your dating life later.”
“Wait,” I touch his arm gently and the tiny bit of contact sends a shock through my fingers. I move my hand away from him. “We have to talk about the whole angel thing.”
“I know,” he says. “Class now, my room at ten.”
Dirty thoughts fill my mind. Of the two of us on his couch. Naked.
“That can’t happen again,” he says as he turns and walks into the room.
I have to take a deep breath to collect myself before I follow him. It’s not new hearing him say we can’t be together despite the feelings we have toward each other but that doesn’t mean it hurts any less.
