“I do not.”
“Yeah, you do, and you hate that, but it’s there.”
“Don’t do that.” I turned toward the tack room, wishing he wouldn’t follow me.
“Do what?” Of course, he walked in right behind me.
“Act like you know me better than I know myself.”
“Don’t I, though? And don’t you know me that well too?”
“Maybe.” The years we’d spent apart had changed us both. Did we still know each other like we used to?
“You thought you could distance yourself from all the criminal shit we grew up with. Now we’re here, and you have a chance to do what you love, but you have to put up with mobsters and assassins and other people you don’t approve of.”
“You make me sound like some kind of Puritan.”
Rogue grinned. “Hardly, but you know you’re a lot more rigid than I ever was.”
“You’ll bend any rules if you think it will be fun.”
“I will, and it sounds like you bent some of your own last night.”
I wasn’t about to tell him it wasn’t the first time. “It didn’t mean anything.”
“The fact that you feel the need to say that tells me you’re lying.”
“I’m not lying. We fucked. That’s it.”
“So it’s not going to happen again? You’re just going to watch him strut around here showing off his hot body and not do anything else about it.”
“Unlike you, I can actually see a man I want and not act on it.”
“Except you couldn’t hold back last night.”
I looked away and grabbed Pumpkin’s bridle. “Temporary insanity.”
“Right.”
“He’s not going to be here much longer anyway.”
Rogue frowned. “You can’t be sure of that.”
“I can hope.”
“Bro, you’ve got to take care of yourself. You can’t just pretend your feelings don’t exist.”
“I’m fine.
“No, you’re not, and you’re not going to be until you resolve this here.” He tapped the side of my head.
“It’s just sex. Isn’t that what you’re always saying?”
“And you’re always telling me to be more careful.”
I hadn’t been careful in any way. Suddenly, I was hit with a flash of TJ licking the cum from my legs. My knees buckled.
“Shit, Rhys. Are you okay?”
