“Actions always speak louder than words.”
“Caleb,” I emphasized, holding up the pamphlet. “This is marketed as a family vacation. We’re not a family. I don’t want to confuse your children.”
“You let me worry about that.”
“Like I should let you worry about Jax?”
“Jax has nothing to do with this.”
“I know, but it’s just another example of the rollercoaster that is you.”
He got off the stool and walked toward me.
“The Evie I used to know loved rollercoasters.”
“She also loved you.”
He didn’t hesitate in professing, “She still loves me.”
I put my hand up, trying to stop his steps. “Caleb…”
Of course he didn’t give a shit. If anything, my objection only triggered a much faster chase. Like a lion, he pounced, caging me in with his arms around my body as he backed me against the wall.
My breathing hitched.
“I’ll tell you right now. If I’m the reason you want this vacation with your kids, then it’s for all the wrong reasons.”
“Evie, you know me better than that.”
“I don’t you at all.”
“You know me more than anyone.”
“That’s sad. It’s also another lie. Nobody knows you better than my brother. You know, the man you spent years using against me.”
“Is that what I was doing when I was fucking you senseless?”
“No. It was always before and after.”
“I made a mistake.”
“You’ve yet to apologize for.”
“Is that what you need from me? An apology for always protecting you?”
“That wasn’t protection, Caleb. It was control.”
He grinned, leaning into my lips. “Control isn’t what I would call it, darlin’.”
“I didn’t think I could hate you calling me that more than I do right now.”
Ignoring my statement, he ordered, “You need to go pack.”
“I feel like this is a trick.”
“We’re leaving in thirty minutes.”
“You’re not listening to me like always.”
