Ignoring everyone else, I asked, “Did she have a purse with her?”
Calliope shook her head. “Uh…no.”
“Jacket? Sweater? Anything that I need to get out of your car?”
“You’re an asshole, Lars Finley!” Edie cried out, but it wasn’t anything that I already didn’t know.
“Uh…no,” Calliope stammered.
“Do not bring her to another party again, Calliope,” I told her. “I mean it.”
“You can’t do that!” Edie yelled, causing more people to look our way.
“Knock it off, Edie,” I snapped. “Unless you really want to piss me off.”
“Go to hell,” she snarled at my back.
Ignoring her, I kept my eyes glued on Calliope. “Do you understand me?”
She immediately nodded. “No, yeah…yeah, I got it.”
Turning away from Edie’s new friends, I stormed my way through the backyard and back through the house to get to my vehicle. I had borrowed my dad’s truck tonight, and I had parked it a block up the street because the place had already been packed by the time that I had arrived earlier.
Afraid that I would drop her, Edie had refrained from kicking and screaming at me, but the stubborn minx sure had one hell of a mouth on her, something that I’d never witness before now.
“You no-good cocksucking asshole,” she hissed. “I’ll never forgive you.”
“As long as you’re finally learning that I’m not fucking around when it comes to you, then I’m okay with you not forgiving me,” I told her. “Really? Max fucking Halford? You should be thanking me.”
“Oh, I’m going to thank you alright,” she muttered threateningly under her breath.
When we finally reached my dad’s truck, I grabbed both her hips in my hands, then set her on her feet, ready to fend her off if she started swinging. Though there was no way in hell that Edie could take me, Talon had taught her how to fight well, regardless of how petite she was. Edie could swing them with the best of them if she had to.
“I can’t believe you did that,” she hissed, her eyes ablaze.
“I can’t believe that you were going to let Max fucking Halford kiss you,” I shot back.
“Why is that so bad, Lars?” she asked. “Why is it so bad for me to want someone for myself?”
I didn’t have an answer for that.
At least, not a reasonable one.
“Not Max Halford,” I repeated.
“Not Max, not Danny Mason, not Josh Beard, not Greg James,” she said, firing off the names of all the guys that had dared talk to her so far. “Then who, Lars?Who?”
I had no idea what made me do it, but before I knew it, I had Edie’s back pressed up against my dad’s truck, her face in my hands. Her eyes were wide, but she wasn’t pushing me away, nor was she asking me what I was doing, which was a good thing because I had no idea what I was fucking doing.
“Me, Edie,” I finally answered, and when Edie didn’t call me out or run away from me, I slammed my lips down on hers, changing our friendship forever.
Chapter 10
The emotions that come out of nowhere.
Lars~
Ifelt Edie’s hands turn into fists, yanking on my shirt, and when she pulled me closer, I deepened the kiss, a low moan escaping from my soul at how good she fucking tasted. In all the years that I’d known Edie Draven, I hadn’t ever imagined that we’d have a moment like this. I’d never seen her as more than Talon’s little sister, honestly.
