I kept walking, and his hand reached out and grabbed mine, pulling me back to him. I went because I had no choice, but I did not want to listen to whatever they were going to talk about. Her gaze went from me and back to him, and I saw the question in her eyes.
“Uh, hey,” she said, smiling at him. “Here’s this in case you need it.” She held out a piece of paper, and I assumed it was her number.
He looked down at it, then took it.
She shifted her gaze to me and back. “You’re, uh, single, right?”
Levi draped his arm over my shoulders. “Yeah,” he replied.
“Okay,” she said, frowning at the way he was holding me against him. “This is probably a game I don’t want to play.”
“Not a game,” he drawled. “We need to head out. It was nice meeting you,” he told her, then looked down at me. “You ready to go, sweetheart?”
I had never felt more awkward in my life. I wasn’t sure if I felt sorry for her or for me. This man looked like a shirtless sex god, and he made women act crazy.
“If you are,” I replied softly, not wanting to speak at all.
“So, is she, like, your sister or something?” the woman asked.
He chuckled. “No.”
She shook her head, clearly annoyed. “Whatever,” she muttered, then turned and walked back to the pen.
Levi moved his hand to my lower back and led me through the stables and out to where he’d parked his car earlier. He unlocked the doors and opened mine for me. I said nothing as I climbed inside. When he was in the driver’s seat, I finally looked at him.
“Do you do that a lot?” I asked, needing to know.
I realized I had put Levi on this pedestal, and that was because he’d been there for me. He still was. I trusted him.
“What?” he asked, backing up and heading for the main road.
“What you just did.”
“What did I just do?”
I sighed and rolled my eyes, frustrated. He knew what I was talking about.
“Did you just roll your eyes at me?” he asked in an amused tone.
“You’re changing the subject.”
“No, I’m not. You’ve not been clear about what you are asking me.”
“Fine. Do you have sex with girls and then just ignore them like that?”
“I took her number, although I’d already told her I didn’t want it. And why do you think I had sex with her?”
I turned my head to look out the window. “She was loud,” I said simply.
He didn’t say anything.
Yep. He couldn’t lie about that now. That pedestal was getting wobbly.
“She asked to be fucked, Aspen. I didn’t take something she wasn’t offering.”
“I wasn’t saying you did. But that thing with you putting your arm around me messed with her.” And me. Which wasn’t fair.
“No, I was making it clear what I had already told her. She was a fuck. That’s what she wanted—to fuck me. I made no other promises. She had the clingy look in her eyes, and I pissed her off to make her go away.”
