“I assume Ezra and Emily, so they’ll take a room in here. Tanner and Luca will stay together. So will Gabriel and Ivy. Then there’s Taylor, Sawyer, Jase.” My voice gets softer when I mentally calculate the numbers. “Mason and Ava will share a room, too.”
Scratching my head, I think out loud.
“Sounds like we’ll need more than two suites—”
“Brinley can bunk with me when we get her back. So I need a room to myself. You know, for when that happens.”
Ifthat happens, I don’t say.
And most likely, once Shane gets his hands on Brinley, she’ll be staying with him. That man won’t risk letting her out of his sight.
“I’ll just take this one,” she says, grabbing the bag she packed at her apartment yesterday morning when I broke in. Casting me one last look, she disappears into the room, then the door closes with a soft click.
Meanwhile, I’m left standing in the living room by myself, feeling like a complete dick for how I’ve treated her.
That woman is in her room, battling her demons all by herself.
That won’t happen anymore.
Not when I can be in there to help fight them with her.
Crossing the living room, I knock on her door.
“Leave me alone, Damon.”
There’s no way in hell I’m doing that. I try the handle to find that it’s locked.
“Blue, open the damn door.”
“I said—“
You know what?
Fuck this shit.
Kicking the door, I bust the frame where the cheap lock held. It swings open. Blue is sitting on the edge of her bed, staring back at me with narrowed eyes.
“Do you have no concept of what it means to respect another person’s privacy?”
“Not when it comes to you, I don’t.”
Pushing to her feet, she storms in my direction to slam both hands against my chest to shove me out. I stare down at her, and the corner of my mouth quirks up.
I step forward and her feet slide back.
“I think when it comes to who’s physically stronger, I’ve got you beat by a long shot.”
Her voice is strained as she continues trying to shove me back.
“Just get the fuck out, Damon.”
“Not until we’re done.”
Her gaze flicks up to mine. “Done with what?”
“You have more questions. Or have you forgotten?”
“This isn’t the time for this,” she barks.
