Oh geez.
All my breath left me in a whoosh that Adam heard, judging by the way he jumped.
“Shit. You scared me.” Adam scowled as he shoved his cell phone into his back pocket.
“Me?Youscaredme! I thought Zoe and I were alone in the house. A little head’s up next time would be appreciated. I was this close to calling in SWAT.” That reminded me. I pulled out my cell and texted Mak.
Me:False alarm. Just Adam. We’re fine.
Mak:What’s the safe word?
Me:Rose
Mak:k. I’ll stand down. You did good, kid.
Rolling my eyes but feeling strangely proud, I put my phone away. One of the first things Mak had put in place was the use of a safe word, so if I was ever in a situation like this he’d know if things were really okay. Kingston had chosen Rose because of the whole Briar, Sleeping Beauty, Rose connection. He didn’t know it was also my middle name. Not that I was going to tell him. Too embarrassing.
I looked up to say something to Adam and jumped when I saw how close he was.
“Geez. You go to ninja school or something?” I laughed uncomfortably.
Adam frowned. “Who were you texting?”
“Uh, Mak.” I don’t know why I was humoring his strange and kinda invasive question. “Why?”
He straightened and shrugged.
“Okay.” It really wasn’t. “Do you mind next time letting me know when you’re here? You about gave me a heart attack.”
Adam muttered under his breath, “Already acting like the queen of the fucking manor.”
I raised my eyebrows. “Excuse me? What did you say?”
“Nothing.” His glare made my skin crawl.
“Okay.” I turned to leave and muttered, “Nice seeing you too.”
“Really?” He mocked. “Is that how you really feel?”
I spun back around but was careful to keep my back at the doorway. “What is going on with you, Adam?”
“I don’t know. Last I heard, you were still recovering from your ‘brutal divorce.’ How did you put it again? That you weren’t ‘really ready to see anyone right now or anytime soon?’ How’s that going?”
I stared back at him, stunned. Was he really shaming me for not wanting to date him? Seriously? “I was feeling that way when we first met. But things change.” Wait, why was I justifying to him my reasons for not wanting to see him? “You know what? I don’t owe you a single thing, Adam. See you later.”
“You’re just like all the rest!” He shouted at my retreating back. “Starfuckers. Don’t know real quality when you see it. You’re gonna regret choosing him. I guaran-fucking-tee it!”
Rolling my eyes, I headed for Zoe’s bedroom.
What an asshole.
