She lowers her gaze. “You’ve done nothing wrong.”
“Then why are you acting like this?”
She keeps mute.
I run my fingers through my hair, not caring that I’m disheveling it.
“I just want to know what is going on. Why are you acting so strange?”
She lifts her head, and her face is flushed. “I don’t think that’s any of your business.”
I lose the little hold I have of my temper. With my face tightening, I stroll over to where she’s still plastered against the door. I place both hands beside her head on the door and glare at her.
“Tell me your acting weird isn’t my business again and see what I’ll do.”
All my anger dissipates instantly when tears glisten in her eyes. I cup her face and caress her cheeks.
“Baby, please don’t cry. Just tell me what’s going on.” I draw her into my arms.
She melts in my arms for a moment before she pushes me away.
“Hasn’t it crossed your mind that I might be sick and tired of being your bedmate?”
My body stiffens at her words.
“It was fun while it lasted, but I’m tired of sneaking around with you. I’m done with you.”
I jerk as if she slapped me.
“Hailey, what—”
“I want more for myself than this. I’m tired of our secret affair. It’s over.”
Is she trying to force a commitment from me? Does she think acting like this will push me into declaring our relationship to everyone? Gutted that I was wrong about her, I shake my head.
“So, it’s on to the next guy who is willing to take your relationship public, right? To the next level?”
Her eyes sparkle with anger, making me recall all the times they glittered with passion as I brought her to ecstasy. I can’t believe she wants to throw all that away for a wimp like Brad.
“What do you think?” She turns to open the door, but I yank her into my arms. My lips fasten on hers, but she resists me. I reach down under her skirt and my fingers push aside her panties to stroke her clit. She moans and gives in while I continue kissing and fingering her. I gently push her away when I feel her moisture on my hands.
“Good luck with Brad making you this wet.” I lift my fingers for her to see her wetness before licking them. “And making you moan within seconds.”
Her face becomes inflamed. “You think life is all about sex, don’t you?”
I shrug with feigned indifference. “Amongst other trivial things.”
“I regret ever starting anything with you. You’re despicable!” she whispers fiercely.
Laughter rumbles from my throat. “Says the lady who kept begging for more as I fucked her in her bathroom last night. Is that your definition of despicable?”
With tears in her eyes, she spins around, yanks open the door, and shuts it. I want to go after her, I want to beg her in front of everyone not to end our relationship, and I want to apologize for being cruel to her just now, but I stop myself.
Jealousy and anger at being dumped and possibly replaced by a lesser man made me resort to nastiness. With a heavy heart, I walk across the office to the ensuite bathroom to wash my hands.
I grip the faucet hard as I stare at my reflection in the mirror. I handled the situation poorly. Something is obviously wrong. I should have made Hailey tell me instead of reacting that way. I don’t buy for a moment that she’s tired of our relationship.
But what if she indeed wants more? What if she’s really tired of sneaking around with me? I have explained to her why we can’t spend the weekend at my place. Hailey coming over to Manhattan would be giving Hunter ammunition to shoot me.
