I stepped back and made my way back over to the chair.
“Fucking peaches,” he muttered.
Did he want peaches? I waited for him to say more, but he didn’t say anything. When the silence continued, I reached for my e-reader. He slept some, and Huck came by to check on him. I used that time to go to the bathroom myself and get a bottle of water. When I returned, they were talking in hushed voices. I paused at the door, and Gage’s eyes locked on me.
“I can come back later,” I said.
He shook his head. “No, we’re done.”
I walked in and went back to my chair. Huck gave me a nod on his way out.
“How’s your pain? Need anything for it?” I asked him. It had been well over the time he usually needed pain medicine.
He shook his head.
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and pulled it out to check my messages. It was Wilder.
Back home. Dishwasher crisis is over. Want me to bring home barbecue and we can watch some more iZombie?
I smiled at the dishwasher crisis and started to text him back.
“Who is it?” Gage’s question startled me.
I looked up at him, and he was glaring at the phone in my hand. I wasn’t supposed to use my phone here. Crap, I had forgotten.
“I’m sorry. I forgot,” I replied and went to put it in my bag.
“Who is it?” he repeated more forcefully.
“A friend,” I replied.
“Male?”
I nodded.
His jaw tensed as he stared at me before turning his attention back to the television so he could glare at it.
“I never get texts during the day. It was an honest mistake.”
He continued to look at the television as if it were his next victim. I wasn’t going to keep apologizing. I was here because he’d wanted me to come back. I’d forgotten a rule. He could get over it.
“How manyfriendsdo you have?” he asked.
“Male or female or both?” I straightened in my chair.
“Male.”
“One.”
He let out a hard laugh. “Yeah. Guys aren’t friends with women who look like you.”
I narrowed my gaze. “Yes, they are, and that doesn’t even make sense. How I look doesn’t factor into it.”
His head turned back to me. The look in his eyes made me shiver. “Is he heterosexual?”
I nodded.
Gage’s jaw worked back and forth, and his nostrils flared. “Then, he’s thinking about sinking his dick into your hot little pussy every fucking time he’s around you and jerking off with you in his head when he’s not.”
