“Liars? You think I’m a liar? About what?”
“You know exactly what.”
I don’t. I have no idea.
The walls feel like they’re getting closer. I’m getting hot around the collar and not in a good way. “Is this because…” What could this possibly be about? “I apologized for calling you boring. I said that –”
“Oh my god.”
“If that’s what this is about, then I’ll apologize again. I’ll apologize a million times if I have to.”
She shakes her head. “You don’t get it.”
“No, I don’t. I don’t understand how anyone could be with you and think you’re boring because I think you’re incredible. You’re amazing.”
Kira gets to her feet and breezes past me toward the door. “Words are nothing without actions, Orlie. And you’ve already proven exactly who you are with what you’ve done to me.”
I intercept her at the door, pressing myself up against it to keep her from opening it.
“Get out of the way.”
“Not until you tell me what’s going on.”
“You. Know.”
There’s a fire in her brown eyes that is set on burning me to a char. “I’m sorry. That’s all I can say. I’m sorry.”
It would be imperceptible to anyone else, but to me, the way her face softens is obvious.
“What can I do to fix this?”
“Nothing.”
“Kira…please…”
Her lips tighten. Her brow furrows. “Why did you do this to me?”
I clearly still don’t understand how badly I triggered her after the incident in the hot tub. It’s impossible for me to understand what deep things I’ve touched inside her.
Sure, maybe she’s being overly sensitive to it. But I can handle that. I want her. I want her to want me. If I hurt her, I’ll fix it. No matter how sensitive.
“Kira, let me…” I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “I’d never want to hurt you.”
Her eyes shut.
“Please.” I kiss her softly. Her lips don’t give in to me. “Let me take care of you.”
Kira stands rock steady. Frozen.
I bring my lips to her neck, a line of kisses to her throat. Her body starts to melt. “I will do anything to fix this. Believe me.”
“How?” she whimpers.
I guide her back toward her desk, her hands coming to lay begrudgingly on my shoulders. Not pushing me away. Not asking to let her go.
Give in, I beg through my thoughts.Give into me.
“Listen to your body. Listen to what it’s telling you.” I move my lips down to her chest, sliding my hands up her thighs. “I worship you. I need you.”
