“Believe what you want.” I reach for his cut, and he steps back, angering me further.
“You’re using sex as a defense against what’s really wrong. Tryin’ to mask it.”
My eyes go round.
He. Did. Not.
“Are you analyzing me now?” I scoff. “Seriously, Tag. Let’s not do this.”
“I don’t wanna do it. Not until you tell me what happened.”
I bite my lip.
I can’t tell him.
I know him. I know what he’ll do, and it’ll only cause me more problems.
“It’s nothing. Like I said, my dad being a dick, as usual. He knows exactly how to make me feel like shit, okay? Is that what you want to hear, T?”
“No. I just want the truth. You’re eager to jump me in the parking lot, but I can see you’re visibly upset. I can’t do you like that, Lu.”
I. Can’t. Breathe.
Holy shit.
“Are we really going to pretend we care now, Tag? Aren’t we both just here to get off?”
He stares at me. Those icy blue depths show a sorrow of his own I’ve only just realized lives there. What is it? What have I fucking missed all these years?
“You know that I’m not just here to get off,” he growls.
“Really? Could’ve fooled me. That’s why you’ve been in my bed every night this week.”
“Not just because of that.”
I snort. “Don’t tell me you like me for my personality because I really will barf.”
His eyebrows knit together. “Why you gotta do that?”
“Do what?”
“Be such a bitch.”
I smirk. “You’re trying to get under my skin, T. I know what you’re doing. You don’t really give a shit about what’s wrong. You just want to be a ‘nice guy’ so you don’t feel bad about fucking your sister.”
“Stepsister,” he grunts. He looks like I’ve just slapped him. “You think I feel bad about fuckin’ you?”
“Don’t you?”
Those fucking eyes.They eat me alive.
“No.”
I watch to see if anything else follows. Sarcasm. Pity. Humor. Nothing.
“I don’t understand,” I say, my temper flaring. “We fuck, T. You like it. I like it. We go our separate ways. No feelings. No expectations. Nobody gets hurt. That’s what we agreed.”
When did I become such a good liar?
