“Fucking hell,” I grumble, pulling away from her.
The first time I’ve tasted her, and it gets interrupted like this.
Is this a sign we shouldn’t cross this line?
We both catch our breaths, and I wipe my arm along my face while stalking to the door. I’m half-tempted to tell the person to fuck off, but they won’t stop fucking knocking.
I unlock the door … and in walks Penny.
You’ve got to be shitting me.
I hear Sierra curse under her breath.
She hops off the bar and practically snarls in my direction. “It’s been a long night. You should probably help her find herwallet.”
She glares while passing us on her way back to the apartment, and I pray it’s not to pack her bags and leave.
As much as I want to chase her, I have to get rid of Penny first.
“Well played,” I tell Penny, working my jaw.
She raises her brows. “What do you mean?”
“Come on. Youforgotyour wallet?”
She shrugs. “I was hoping you’d changed your mind. I didn’t know she’d be here with you, doing … whatever you two were doing.”
“We were closing the bar.”
“You were about to fuck her in the same place you’d fucked me.”
I snarl. She’s right. I was about to screw Sierra where I’d screwed countless other women.
“She’s not for you, Maliki.” Her hand splays across my shoulder.
I push her away. “Just because we’ve fucked a few times doesn’t mean shit. Just because your mouth has been around my dick doesn’t mean you know me.”
“When she breaks your heart, you know my number.”

I throw down my bag,tear off my clothes, and step in the shower.
Tears hit my eyes as soon as Penny walked in, but I blinked them away. I couldn’t cry in front of her—in front ofthem.
What if he brings her to his bedroom?
I shake my head. He wouldn’t do that after what happened on the bar.
I throw my loofah onto the bathtub floor and kick it for good measure. I’m reminded of Maliki’s touch as I wash my hair. It was too good to be true. Just when I succeeded in proving he couldn’t hide his feelings for me any longer, she interrupted.
No matter what, there’s always someone coming between us.
Maliki is seated on my bed when I walk into my room. I screech and tighten my towel around my chest.
“I wanted to assure you I wasn’t fucking anyone.” He stands. “Get some sleep.”
