“Believe it or not, he’s a gynecologist.”
Despite feeling out of control, which was never a good thing, I chuckled. “That doesn’t surprise me.”
“Really?”
“No. Your brother has always loved pussy.”
“Ew.” She flinched. “Gross. Don’t ever say that to me again.”
“How are he and Kinley?”
“Good, I guess. I don’t see them very often.”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t live in Texas.”
I arched an eyebrow, surprised at her response. “Where are you living?”
“None of your business, Mr. Locke.”
“So we’re back to that now?”
“We never left.”
“You’re worse than whiplash, kid. How about you save me the trouble of pulling your records from HR and tell me yourself?”
“That’s illegal.”
“It would only be illegal if I wasn’t your boss.”
“How many times do I have to tell you I’m not your employee? I’m not beneath you—I’m your equal.”
“But you used to love being beneath me.”
“I think that’s always been our problem. The love I felt for you.”
“Autumn… I’ve always lov—”
She abruptly stood, cutting me off on purpose. “We landed.” She hurried toward the exit, and as soon as she walked past me, I stood and grabbed her arm to urge her to look at me again.
“Mr. Locke.”
“I’ve had enough of your Mr. Locke bullshit, kid. I’m done playing your little games.”
“Wow,” she rasped. “I played your games for years, and you can barely stand it for six days. How’s it feel?”
“Whether you want to face it or not I do lov—”
“No!” She yanked her arm out of my grasp. “I don’t want to hear it.”
“It doesn’t matter if I say it to you now or later, it’s going to be said, and the sooner you realize that, the faster we can move forward with it.”
“What exactly are we moving forward with?”
“Us.”
“There is no us.”
