He grabs my jaw, pulling my head back to kiss me.
I let him.
Even though I don’t believe him.
I gasp when he slides himself inside me.
Even though I don’t believe him.
I allow him to make love to me.
Even though I don’t believe him.
I’m on the road of heartbreak again, but I can’t seem to jump off the ride like I did with Devin.

The next morning,Maliki makes love to me.
He’s gone all day, supposedly at the Twisted Fox, but he makes it back in time to work at the pub.
Weird.

This morning,he gives me an orgasm before dropping his bomb.
He makes us breakfast before ruining my day.
“Hey, babe,” he says, giving me a quick peck on the lips and sitting across from me at the table. “I’m going to the city to sample new product with Cohen. Liz offered to cover my shift, so you’ll be working with her tonight. I won’t be gone late.”
I take a bite of toast and consider what response to give while chewing.
Rip him a new asshole?
Act like everything is okay?
Leave him?
“That’s cool,” is what I choose to go with as an idea pops into my head. I keep my tone calm. “I’ve put off going to the mall. I need some makeup and bras. I’ll ask Mikey to take my shift. It shouldn’t be a problem. He always wants money, and we can make a day of it. Maybe have dinner when you’re done.”
This is a test.
He drops his bacon, startled, and scoots his plate away from him. “Make me a list. I’ll pick up whatever you need. We’ll make a date to go into the city sometime next week. Sound good?”
Hell no.
“Make you a list ofbras and makeupI need?” I deadpan.
He nods, refusing to meet my gaze, and plucks a slice of bacon from his plate.
I roll my eyes and am the next one to push my plate up the table. “I need to shower.”
He stiffens in his chair and stops chewing. “We showered an hour ago.”
“Yeah, well, I didn’t think you’d lie to me an hour ago.”
He curses as I walk away but doesn’t stop me.
