“Simple,” Lee replied. “He wants something. That something belongs to me. He begins his campaign to get what he wants and I begin mine to keep it.”
I was trying not to be pissed off, but it was hard.
“I don’t belong to you.”
“I know that and you know that, but men like Coxy don’t know that. He acquires things, even humans. Especially women. His men don’t work for him because they respect and trust him. They do it because he pays them a lot.”
Okay, that made sense.
My hips were against his hips and his hands were going up my back, pulling the rest of my body into contact with his.
I ignored it.
“Have you dissuaded him from this war?” I asked.
“Not likely,” he answered.
“What happens now?”
“I deal with it. You hear from him, see him, you tell me.”
I could do that. That sounded easy.
Lee’s hands made it to my shoulders and my entire torso was pressed against his.
“What time is it?” I asked.
Lee’s head came down and his lips were on my neck.
“Quarter to two,” he said against my skin.
“Ohmigod!” I shouted and tried to pull away, but Lee’s arms tightened and brought me back. “I have to take a shower. We have to get to Dad’s. I’m supposed to be making the hamburger patties.”
“Your father can make the hamburgers. We’re gonna be late.”
I stared at him in horror. “Late? We can’t be late! Dad loves you, Lee, but he’s not exactly jumping for joy that we’re together. We can’t be late the first time we go home for a barbeque!”
Lee’s face changed and his eyes became warm.
“Are we together?”
Oh crap.
I started thinking fast.
“We’re notnottogether.”
“I’m not entirely certain what to do with that.”
I explained, “We’re not exactly together and were notnottogether. We’re in together limbo. We’re test driving together to see if we want to buy it.”
“We go to your dad’s late, I could convince you to buy it.”
I was pretty certain he was right, so in self-defense I put my hands against his chest and pushed.
He didn’t budge.
I changed tactics. “How areyouso sure you want to buy it?”
