“If I had a dog, it would listen to me. You do not.”
“Whatever. I’m just wearing a bikini. You need to relax. Or what?” I extended my arms. “You don’t think I look good?”
Caleb’s stare turned predatory as he took me in, from my breasts to my legs and back up again. Although I was trying to feel empowered by my rebuttal, the expression on his face made me feel the exact opposite.
Vulnerable and naked.
I was learning that was never a good thing when it came to the man staring daggers at me.
“Stop looking at me like that.”
“You don’t have a problem with every other man here looking at you the way I am.”
Before I could reply, he wrapped the towel around my body, holding it closed out in front of my chest.
“Feel better, old man?”
“Darlin’,” he warned through a clenched jaw. “Don’t fucking test me. Now go inside and put some goddamn clothes on.”
“You’re not the boss of me.”
“Evie—”
“Oh!” I mocked. “Suddenly you remember who I am? Funny how that works.”
“Don’t bait me, sweetheart. I’m in no mood for your temper tantrums.”
“Then why are you here?”
“To drive you home.”
“I don’t want to go home.”
“I don’t give a shit what you want.”
“Yeah, that much is clear, but you’re not ruining another thing for me. I’m hanging out with Josh. We’re going on a date tomorrow.”
“The fuck you are.”
“Now you think you control my dates? What the hell is that? What am I supposed to do? Huh? Sit at home and become the cat lady?”
“At least your pussy wouldn’t be in some random guy’s face.”
“Hey! That was an accident. He was trying to get me off of him.”
“He was definitely trying to get something off, but it sure as shit wasn’t you from his body.”
“You don’t even know him.”
“Neither do you.”
“No shit, Sherlock. That’s why we’re going on a date.”
“I won’t repeat myself again, Evie. Get your ass inside and go change, so I can drive you home.”
“Josh didn’t do anything wrong. He was just trying to get me off his shoulders.”
“Like Ryan was just trying to take you home to read you a bedtime story?”
