“I don’t know. What about honesty?”

“Do I need to point out how little sense that makes?”

She was right. It made no sense on any front. Ididn’towe either boy anything. I couldn’t – wouldn’t – be honest with Apollo, and being honest with Valen was only going to push him further away. I didn’t want that.

I sighed. “No. Besides,” I said as the thought hit me, “Apollo’s probably bragged all about me with the Angels by now. Valen will know all about it.”

“What do you think he’s going to do?”

I dragged my hand over my face. “I don’t know. He says things like ‘the only guy you’ll do is me’, and then kisses me like it’s goodbye. Does he think I’m just going to be a nun now? Of course not, because he knows I’ll be with Apollo sooner or later, although it seems like maybe sooner now. Ugh, I don’t know what he wants or what he’ll do.”

“Hang on,” Florence said. “I’ve missed something very important here. Go back to the kiss. When did he say that?”

After the night before, it didn’t matter if I was ready or not. I needed to talk to her about it.

I told her all about under the stairs. I told her about me and Apollo at the club on Friday night, about him storming out, about Valen and me in the garage. She didn’t interrupt, only exclaimed in excitement now and then like a good listener was wont to do. When I’d finished she huffed out a breath.

“And then, Apollo dragged you into a storeroom and finger fucked you?” she clarified.

I nodded. “Yeah.”

“Well.”

“Yeah.”

“I guess he could only deny himself for so long.”

“What?”

Florence laughed. “You don’t think he just woke up yesterday and decided that he wanted you, do you?”

I realised then that, no. He hadn’t just woken up and decided he wanted me. “Fuck,” I muttered. “That’s why he walked out on Friday.”

“Yep.”

“He thought he shouldn’t.”

“Yep.”

“Then he just couldn’t help himself.”

“Yep.”

“Have you got anything more useful that ‘yep’ to add to the conversation?”

“Yep.”

I laughed. “What is it then?”

“What is it about you that you’ve got two guys unable to control themselves around you.”

“Must be my wicked womanly voodoo ways,” I said with a smile.

“It’s no small feat.”

“What am I supposed to do?”

“Two guys, possibly simultaneously.”
