I smiled at her outburst, then went back to serious. It was perhaps well past time for an admission to myself as much as her. “I don’t know. Sometimes, I worry I could. Sometimes, I honestly forget that I hate him. Then I remember, and I wonder if I really do anymore.”
Florence was quite simply the best friend in the world. Instead of berating me for stupid choices as though I evenhada choice, she was just supportive. Instead of asking what I could possibly see in an arsehole like Valen Kincaid, she was just there for me. Instead of reminding me how much we hated him, she just tried to be helpful.
“Okay. So, Operation Khaleesi is back on?”
I knew she was semi-joking, but I’d heard of worse plans. “You know what?” I asked.
“What?”
“I think it might be.”
“Great. How can I help?”
“Remind me how to seduce a guy.”
“I don’t think you have any problems in that department. Not with Valen.”
I laughed. “It would seem not. Only problem is, I told him I was going to hold out as long as possible.”
“That sounds delightful,” she sassed. “And other than the horrendous vaginal equivalent of blue balls you’ll get, how is that a problem?”
I snorted very attractively. “Because...I’m afraid if I don’t do it soon, I’ll never do it.”
Florence nodded. “Riiight...” she said slowly. “So basically, you either fuck him out of your system like right this second, or you’ll just keep fucking him whenever you want for as long as you want?”
A splutter of a laugh escaped me. “No. I’m not saying that.” Although, that is how it felt.
“Good, because I’d seriously advise you to go for the latter. That’s a much cheerier path to take.”
Same, Floss.“I was thinking it could wait until tomorrow.”
“Oh, at least,” Florence said semi-sarcastically, but in a supportive way.
“I am looking to you for guidance, Floss. Ideas. I need you to help me formulate a plan.”
“Are you suggesting we kidnap a Kincaid?” she gasped and I batted her with a pillow.
“No!”
“Good. Because, babe, I’ve got connections. But even my connections pay Kincaids for kidnappings.”
A shudder ran through me as I said, “I’m sure Kane would payusto kidnap his brother.”
Florence audibly shivered as well. “Ugh, even for a Kincaid, that man gives me the creeps. I would rather find myself in a deadend alley with Neo AND Cillian, and that other... What’s her name...?”
“Her?” I asked.
She nodded and clicked her fingers. “The girl... Valerie? Victoria? It was V-something.”
“Who was?”
Florence smirked at me. “Are you jealous of a woman who shares Valen’s last name?”
For someone who wasn’t, my heart fluttered weirdly. “No,” I scoffed.
“Well, good. Because even though I’m ninety percent certain that incest isn’t a Kincaid thing, the mum took her home to the motherland.”
“Valen has a sister?”
