I ran my hands through my hair, ready to come up with a plan on making him jealous but then I told myself that I wasn’t going to stoop so low. We weren’t kids and making each other jealous was fucking childish.
There was a knock at the door and I was ready to throw something at it. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. “Leave, Fender.”
“I’m sorry, baby. That was out of line.” He sighed, then there was a pause. “But I gotta say, you’re fucking hot when you’re jealous.”
“I’m not jealous! God, you’re such an asshole!” I hissed through gritted teeth.
I heard him chuckle, which didn’t help at all. “Open the door, Remi.”
“Leave me alone.”
“Never. Open the door.” He was calm but I heard the urgency in his voice.
I thought about it for a moment. I could be stubborn in certain situations but I decided to open the door and face him. I looked up at him, taking him in as he leaned against the doorframe.
“If you think you can make me jealous and mess with me like that in this relationship, then I don’t want it.” I crossed my arms and lifted my chin to show him just how serious I was.
“I know. It won’t happen again. It was stupid of me and I’m sorry.”
I frowned. Did he really just say all that without smirking? “What?”
“You heard me. I was being an asshole for no good reason. I hurt you and I don’t ever want to hurt you. I’m sorry.”
I studied him, waiting for his lips to curl into a grin and him telling me that he was messing with me again. But that didn’t happen. He was being serious.
My body relaxed and I put my hand in his when he reached for me, then he pulled me to him and I went willingly.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and cupped my ass with his hands, squeezing tightly as his mouth covered mine.
I leaned into the kiss and let him explore my mouth with his tongue, and once he had enough, he pulled back to look at me again. “I was being insensitive down there. Don’t have an excuse for it either. I still have to learn not to hurt the people I love. Not that there’s many of them out there. It won’t happen again.”
I was stuck on the word love, unsure how to interpret it. I was reading too much into it probably, so I let it go.
It was too soon to say I love you anyway.
I smiled and touched his jaw with my fingers, gently running along his scars. “Already forgot it happened,” I whispered, not wanting to be reminded about all the women he had sex with before me.
He took my mouth again, then he picked me up and walked me over to the sink where he sat me down. I wrapped my arms and legs around him and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss as his tongue slid into my mouth.
He seemed liked a changed man. So calm and collected. He thought about his words carefully before he spoke, and he was gentler in the way he touched me.
This moment was too good to be true, and I should’ve seen something bad coming.
The saying calm before the storm was about to be taken onto a whole different level.
Chapter 30
FENDER
I had been avoiding Woodrow as much as possible. After the rumors I heard when I was out of town, I knew I had to confront him about this sooner than later.
People were talking, and our name was once again being dragged through the damn dirt. Only this time without our knowledge.
Once I found out what people were saying, I gathered the ones I trusted most to talk about our next step.
We ate dinner and I kept Remedy close, gaining stares from most of the people around us. I didn’t have to tell them that she was mine, and I loved how she moved closer to me every time one of the guys eyes her as if they were ready to eat her alive.
I made a mental note to teach them not to scare my woman like that. She was mine, and I’d let the whole damn town know.
