“Why are you pissed at him?”
I folded my arms in front of me. “What are you still doing here?”
“I wanted to talk to you…alone.”
“Why? We said everything we needed to last night.”
Lynx walked closer to me and unfolded my arms. “If we said all we needed to, why are you angry with me?”
I jerked away from him and walked around to the other side of the kitchen island. “I’m angry because three people unexpectedly showed up at my apartment this morning, and not a single one offered an apology for doing so.”
He raised an eyebrow.
“Okay, so Paxon apologized, but that doesn’t change the fact that I had just gotten out of the shower and wasn’t even dressed when he showed up.”
“In that case, I’m very sorry I didn’t arrive first.”
“You can’t say things like that, and wipe that smirk off your face.”
He came around the island and stood close enough to touch. “What can’t I say?”
“Anything remotely suggestive.” Before I could move around to the opposite side, he grabbed my wrist.
“What if I can’t help myself?”
“What?No.” I shook my head.
“What if everything I said last night was the stupidest thing I’ve ever uttered?”
“You can’t fucking do this,” I swore as he took a step closer to me.
“Why are you angry with Saint?”
“Tommy.”
“Why, Emerson?”
“It’s none of your business.” I tried to turn my wrist out of his grasp, but he held tight.
“Tell me anyway.”
I shook my head again. “No.”
“You said he knows why. Tell me.”
“You said you were here to do a job. That we had one night, and that was all it would ever be.”
“You said you were angry with him for leaving the way he did. What did you mean, Emerson?” He cupped my face with his palm “Tell me this. Do you love him?”
I scrunched my eyes and looked up at him. “What?”
“Do you love him?”
“Tommy?”
Lynx nodded.
“I don’t understand the question.”
