“What is your fucking problem?” Stefan yelled right back. He didn’t move away from me, though.
Carlo reached over to his bedside drawer and opened it. A bit of rustling later and he threw a small foil package at Stefan.
Oh, crap.
“What the fuck is this?” Stefan asked unnecessarily. We all knew what it was.
“Use one from now on.” Carlo sneered over at his brother.
Stefan rolled off me and turned on the bedside lamp. Then he threw the condom at Carlo. “I’m not using one until she’s off her birth control. Christ, man. You’re a real buzzkill.”
Oh, crap.
My stomach got all twisty and nervous.
I’d really messed up.
I hadn’t been thinking.
“She’s off her birth control now. Use a fuckin’ condom or don’t fuck her at all.” A dark, ominous energy settled over us. I wanted to jump out of the end of the bed and run away.
I also wanted to stay directly between these two men and make sure they didn’t kill each other.
“What? When?” Stefan sat all the way up and gazed down at me.
And then the expression on his face fell. He moved over a few inches. “Your IUD is gone?” he asked in a raspy voice.
I didn’t answer.
But Stefan took my non-answer as my—answer.
“Unfuckingbelievable,” he said and bounced out of bed. He picked up his boxer briefs and slipped them on.
Carlo threw the condom at Stefan. “I didn’t say you couldn’t fuck. Just use protection from now on.”
It hit Stefan in the arm, and he gave his brother a death glare that scared the crap right out of me. “Fuck you, Carlo.” Then he looked down at me—and the look of disappointment and hurt on his face—killed.
“Stefan, stay, please,” I begged him in a soft voice.
He shook his head and said, “I can’t fuckin’ believe you. After everything we shared—” He peered down at my hand.
My left hand.
And then back up to me. “Nice ring.”
I looked down and realized I was still wearing Carlo’s engagement ring.
Okay.
I knew I was wearing it.
I almost took it off before I stepped into the shower. But I didn’t.
I loved it.
And I loved Carlo.
And in the shower, when Carlo picked me up and fucked me against the wall—I stared at my ring the entire time.
