“And I want to find my happiness on my own before I can trust it with someone else.”
“You’ve been searching foryears,” he snarls, his resentment giving way to rage. “Don’t you think you would’ve found it by now?”
I refuse to swipe at the tears flooding my eyes, so I let them fall. Cascading down my face in a pain I never imagined Brooks would inflict. “Ouch.”
“You were happy with me.” He speaks through gritted teeth. “Why can’t you fucking see that? Stop chasing a fucking fairy tale.”
My chest aches painfully. “You think me being happy is a fairy tale?” I ask. “A ghost story?”
He growls loud enough to send a spike of unease up my spine.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“That’s what you said.”
He doesn’t respond.
“You got what you came for, so why delay it?” I goad. “Why stay longer? You didn’t get your fill?” My voice raises as I speak. A fit of anger I have no idea how to place seeps through my pores and spews from me violently.
I told Jada he wasforever,and he was looking at me like an international booty call.
He came here for one thing, and I played right into his little fantasy.
“You need more?” I rip my shirt from my body, letting my tits bounce free.
His nostrils flare.
My nipples harden.
“Let’s do it then.” I step forward, dragging my tongue across one of his nipples.
“Stop it,” he grits out.
Grabbing his hands, I use them to squeeze my tits, my breath coming out faster. “You don’t want this? You don’t want me?”
“No.”
“No?” I all but screech.
“I mean yes.”
“Then take it, Brooks,” I dare him. “That’s what you’re here for, to get your fill. You’re not interested in my life. You couldn’t give two fucks about my heart. You’re just salivating over mycunt,” I spit the word. “It’s yours, baby.”
“That’s not true. Your heart . . .”
I press my fingers against his lips and offer a quick shake of my head.
“We’re not gonna do that. You’re right. This started with sex, so let’s finish it the same way.”
“I’m asking you to come with me. Live the life you wantwithme.”
I reach up on my tiptoes. “And I said no.”
“You’re your own worst enemy, Henley Wright.”
With that, his bottom lip slips between mine, the cage of his mouth caressing my top lip in a gentle caress. His kiss utterly tender as his body buzzes with hostility and impatience.
My arduously open best friend.
