Instead, he slips his hand between our bodies, lifting me up by the chin so that I’m forced to look into his dark eyes.
“Ava…”
I huff. He’s not going to stop until he gets me to admit everything, is he? “You can’t blame me. I find this card that made it seem like you were buying flowers for two women—”
“Because of the floral arrangements for the wedding. Yeah. I know. Burns told me.”
Right. “That’s why I went down to the flower shop. ‘Cause I was irrational and I was jealous and I thought they might give me an address for your mistress or something…”
His lips curve. “And what would you have done if they did?”
Honestly? If I got my hands on a gun, I might have shot her. And why not? I already killed someone once. Maybe it gets easier the second time, right?
I don’t tell Link that, though. I don’t have to. As if he can see the answer written on my face, he tugs my chin toward him, kissing me.
I’m breathless when he’s done, and delusional if I thought he was going to drop the subject.
“Was that it?” he asks.
I want to say yes. But, in the back of his car, driving circles around Springfield, I realize that I might as well get everything out in the open.
“You have two phones,” I tell Link. “I know you’re not into drugs since that’s Damient’s things, and the only people I can think of who have two phones are drug dealers and cheaters.”
I don’t know Link’s going to react to me calling him a cheater in a roundabout way, but it’s definitely not with a low chuckle as he shifts his hips.
I gasp, enjoying the sensations as he dick goes just a little deeper, falling forward, bracing my hands on his hips as he reaches into one pocket of his pants, then the next. Like always, he’s carrying both of them, and he tosses the phones on the seat next to us.
“Go on. Call it.”
What? Even if I had my pants within reach… “I don’t have a phone.”
Reaching into his pocket again, this time he pulls out mine.
“Where did you get this?” When I checked my pockets earlier, I didn’t have it. Damien didn’t, either, and I thought I must have dropped it if Bobby didn’t do something to it.
“Burns found it on the side of the street,” he tells me. “It’s how we got a head start knowing something was off.” Nodding at the phone, he adds, “Don’t distract me, Ava. Call my number.”
I do.
As soon as I finish dialing Link’s number, his personal phone rings.
“Okay. So it works.”
He nods, then passes over his business phone. “Call it with this one.”
I still don’t see where he’s going with this. But, he seems insistent that I do this, and it’s the least I can do after what I put him through just now because of my jealousy.
I dial his number and… nothing happens.
Weird.
I do it again, but after I press the last digit, I hear a tinyclick. Like it’s being disconnected.
I glance up at him. “You block your own number?”
Link shakes his head. “I blockeverynumber. Every number, that is, except yours.”
“What?”
