Jesus, did I just say that out loud?!
Her eyes bulge at my confession, but then quickly narrow. “I have an IUD; we’re good on the baby end, thank you. My last boyfriend didn’t want kids and insisted on it.”
I glower. “He made you get an internal contraceptive device?”
She looks agitated as she shrugs. “He was adamant.”
What the fuck?What kind of man insists on his woman using an invasive contraceptive? Her ex sounds like a real prick. “But you’re not with him anymore?”
She sneers with revulsion. “No. And I haven’t been with anyone since.”
“Aside from me, and that’s exactly how it’s going to stay,” I sing with confidence, happy she seems disgusted with her last boyfriend.
“You can’t be fucking serious,” she stutters.
“Like a heart attack,” I confirm, cocky as always.
She shakes her head again. “We don’t know anything about each other. This isn’t a realistic expectation.”
“We knew enough to give in to each other though we met fifteen fucking minutes earlier,” I counter. “And that right there confirms there’s something between us.”
Bewilderment spreads across her face. “You’re irrational!”
“And you’reveryrational, which makes this relationship fucking ideal because we balance each other out.”
It looks like she’s considering my offer judging by the wild look on her face, and my heart swells with hope. She only needs to see it my way, and we can be together until we’ve had our fill.
You’re a damn liar, Maceo.Considering how she fucked me, I’ll never get my fill.
Fuck me.I want this woman for my own. Damn my rules.
“I have to go. I have a business meeting I can’t miss.” She whistles for Hades, who finally gets up and pads toward us.
My heart starts to jackhammer. This can’t be the end. I can’t let her walk away. “Don’t resist this, Josephine. We have something between us.”
“You don’t know that,” she mumbles with a tremor in her voice.
“I fucking feel it in here,” I say as I put my hand on my chest. “And you feel it, too. You’re just being stubborn. But I won’t let you ignore it. I’ll remind you every damn day and night what we have if you let me.”
My pixie looks at me gobsmacked before she turns on her heels and dashes away with Hades over the crest of the hill.
For a moment, I’m in shock.
She’s fucking running! Oh, hell no.
I’ve never seen a woman take off—that move has always been reserved for me. Shit, half the time I have to shake them off before I close the damn door.
Snapping to attention, I recall there’s a parking lot nearby and I dash up the hill to confirm my suspicions. I arrive in time to see her climb into a white Subaru, and she peels out of the parking lot. Not fast enough to avoid me catching her license plate, though. My lips curl into a smirk. If she wants to challenge me, I accept.
