“Vas.”
“What?”
“Call me Vas. People who are mine call me Vas.”
“Vas,” she says my name as if tasting it on her tongue, and I don’t know what she tastes, but I sure as heck love it and want seconds and thirds of it. I want my name on her lips all day, every day.
And night.
I know I have officially lost it. I don’t have time to play with Kira Clark when my life is hanging off the cliff by a thin, flimsy thread, but here I am, unable to move away.
“Kira?”
“Yeah?” Her voice is soft. It’s different, and I like it.
“Time for more truths,” I say, rubbing her cheek.
Our eyes peering into one another, and I am not sure if I am ready for this truth, but I need it.
However, she decided it was time for her to ask the questions. “Why didn’t you tell me you had a daughter?”
“I wasn’t really hiding it, and what would it change?”
“Everything.”
“So, you wouldn’t fire me because I couldn’t be what you needed me to be?”
“No,” she says quietly.
“Then you’d have someone else play your fake boyfriend?”
“Maybe.”
“No,” I snap, and she shoots her gaze at me.
“What?”
“The answer should be no because you are mine. You were mine before it all even began.” I give her my most honest truth, and she sucks in a sharp breath, trembling in my hands but doesn’t respond to it.
Instead, she says, “Your turn. What else would you like to know?”
I want to say everything, but there is one thing I need to know more than others at the present moment.
“Yesterday.” I clear my throat as she tenses up, and now, I know I didn’t imagine it in that storage room for sure. She knows what I am about to ask. “When I did that, you know…”
“Slapped my ass? Hard?” She helps me finish the sentence.
“Yeah…” I swallow a thick lump. Fuck, why did I want to know this again? “Did I? Did I hurt you? I don’t want to hurt you, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself with you. When you get me into that state, I lose my senses. I become that crazy, deviant who needs…more.” I swallow again. The word vomit is still not done pouring out. “I know I’m not normal, and if that’s too much for you, let’s not even go there.”
Kira lifts up her head, looking at me. “What? Is that why you left like your ass was on fire yesterday?”
“Um, yeah. I know, I fucked up doing that to you—”
“Jesus, stop talking,” she shuts me up. “That…yesterday…that had nothing to do with you! And what the hell are you doing calling yourself a deviant? Not normal?”
“No.” I shake my head. “I saw how you reacted to that slap.”
“Vas, that wasn’t because I didn’t like it! It was about—” This time, she cuts herself off and purses her lips, hiding whatever was about to slip off her tongue.
