“Why not? Oh, not a good time?”
“Not a good pairing. Why would you think I would ever want to have sex with you?”
He appears genuinely baffled. “Why not? Knox and I go three-way with no problem.”
“Huh?”
“We fuck the same women, often at the same time.”
My stomach lurches and I think I’m going to throw up the cupcakes Gwen gave me earlier.
Did Daniel say he and Knox fuck the same women at the same time?
Yes, I think he did.
But that’s not what’s bothering me. What’s bothering me is the fact that Knox could and would share me with his friend.
The thought causes my stomach to cramp and my heart to shrink in its ribcage.
If he’s so used to that, why wouldn’t he do it now? After all, our relationship is all about sex.
“So?” Daniel asks. “What do you think?”
“About?”
“Fucking me. For the record, everyone prefers me since I’m obviously more charming.” He accentuates his words with a grin that showcases his dimples.
And I can see it, his charm, the reason why many women would prefer him. Daniel is the type that oozes sex appeal and can effortlessly grab anyone’s attention. He has a striking kind of beauty that glows from afar and blinds once you get close.
But he doesn’t have Knox’s intensity and he certainly doesn’t make me feel like I’ll jump out of my skin due to his presence alone.
“No,” I say simply, easily, and with so much assertiveness, it makes him pause.
“You don’t have to answer now. Think about it.”
“I don’t need to.”
“This is interesting.” He circles me again before stopping in front of me. “Is it because of Knox? He wouldn’t care.”
Well, I would. But I don’t say that, because I don’t have the voice to. So I just shrug, even though my heart is bleeding.
It’s not supposed to, but it’s metaphorically dripping all over the ground.
It’s funny that I left my family to avoid being hurt and used, but it feels as if I’ve landed in something much deeper and more painful.
And I need to distance myself from it.
From him.
The source of the shattering pain in my chest.

KNOX
Something’s changed.
I can’t quite pinpoint it, but it’s there in Anastasia’s stiff movements and silence.
