“All right,” Magic says, and then the car fills with silence.
“Rebel? Why are they calling you that? I’m assuming these are the ‘friends’ you mentioned.”
I bite the inside of my cheek, not responding. I don’t know where to start.
“Better yet, why were you at the club?”
“Why wereyouat that club? Do you go there often?” I try to keep my tone flat, but I fail miserably. This whole night has not gone according to plan.
“Jealous?”
Anger unlike anything I’ve ever felt flashes through my whole body. I reach forward, my hand coming out to smack him. He catches it. “Watch it.” He gives a firm squeeze before releasing my wrist.
“Fuck you.” I fold my arms over my chest and stare out the window. I’m not telling him anything now. I hate that I can’t control my emotions. I’m quick to anger. It’s in my blood.
“Burns, doesn’t it?” I close my eyes and take a breath.
“I’ve never been in that club before.”
“Just that one?” I peek at him.
“Sometimes there are meetings I have to attend in the back of a lot of places.”
“Nice dodge.” I roll my eyes.
“I don’t pay for sex,” he spits. Now it’s him getting angry again. Gilly has always been so calm. I can’t help but enjoy the fact that I can provoke him.
“Then what do you do?”
“Nothing.” He grips the steering wheel harder.
“Nothing? You’re full of shit. There’s no way.”
“Tell me what you’ve been doing, and I’ll tell you,” he offers. Do I really want to know? I’m not sure I’ll be able to take hearing him tell me about him being with a woman.
“You first,” I say after a beat. I guess I’m a masochist.
“I wasn’t lying. I don’t do anything. Not since—” He flicks a glance my way.
“You don’t do anything?” I lick my lips. “You don’t touch yourself,UncleGilly?”
“God damn it, Carina!” he shouts. Okay. Maybe I took it a bit too far. “Now you. Spill.”
“You didn’t really answer mine, so I don’t have to tell you shit.”
“I told you.” He sighs.
I stare at him for a long moment, and it hits me. “You’re serious?” Gilly is always so calm and disciplined. At least that’s what I remember him as. Until now. He’s snapped. “You’re punishing yourself, aren’t you?” He’s mad that he wants me.
I guess I’m not the only masochist. I want to push for more, but I leave it for now. Gilly has to choose where he stands. He’s fighting his own inner battle. I can’t make him choose me. I wouldn’t want to.
“Your turn.”
“You can’t get mad.” I chew on my bottom lip. I’m already on very thin ice. I’m not sure telling him what I’ve gotten myself into right now is the best idea. I have no idea how he’s going to react. Especially when he hears it involves Falco.
“I couldn’t get madder.”
I don’t speak for a long moment. He pins me with a hard look in the rearview mirror. “Tell me.” I come undone at the gentleness of his tone. The words spill past my lips.
