“Last I checked, I don’t need anyone’s permission,” she takes another swig.“Why don’t you go live your happy little life with Griffin.”
Her comment pisses me off.“Fine!The club is throwing us an engagement party tomorrow.You can come or don’t come.Whatever.Call me when you want to stop acting like a bitch.”
Storming out, I slam the door in my wake.
In the car, I slam my fists on the steering wheel in frustration.I know exactly what she is doing.She’s trying to shut me out.I should know because I was a master at it when Logan died.For now, I will give her space because I know she is just acting out and still needs to deal with whatever happened to her.Maybe she will tell me when she is ready.Swallowing A hard lump, I put the car in reverse and head back to the club.
“Did you talk to her?”Hayden asks when he spots me.
“Yeah.She’s acting like a bitch.I know she went through something traumatic, so I’m not holding anything against her.”Even though I know she didn’t mean it, the way she talked to me was a punch to the gut.
“I’m going to head over there and see if I can make any progress.You won’t be mad if I don’t make it to the party, will you?”
“No.Maybe she will talk to you.”

ASTERA
“Do we have time for a quickie?”Griffin asks with a sly smile.
“That’s all we have time for.And I’m already undressed.”
That wicked grin appears again, and he hoists me onto the long dresser.“Spread those legs for me, babe.”
“Fuck yeah,” I say out loud.
I hope and pray the dresser holds me and doesn’t go crashing to the ground.
“You’re always wet for me, baby.”
“Always for you.Oh God, yes.”
“Yeah, come for me.”
Gripping the side of the dresser, I prepare for the orgasm that is building.
“Just let that,” I tell him.
He takes one hand and circles his thumb on my clit, causing me to combust.“I’m coming.”
Griffin picks up the pace, and sweat beads on his forehead.“Oh fuck.God damn,” he calls out as his orgasm takes over.We take a second to catch our breath, and Griffin offers his hand to help me off the dresser.
Looking in the mirror, I straighten my hair and touch up my makeup.
“Everything okay?”Griffin asks while he changes into a black fitted shirt and my best black jeans.I change into a short, white, body-hugging dress.
“Yeah.I went to see Claire, and it didn’t end well,” I roll my eyes.
“She’ll come around when she is ready.”
“I know.Hayden went over to see her.I told him it was okay to miss the party.”
“Well, then you have nothing to worry about, babe.”With a tight smile, Griffin comes over and pulls me into him, wrapping his arms around my waist.“You ready to head out?”He kisses the side of my head.
“Yeah.”
He takes my hand in his, and we head back to where everyone is currently congregating.“You look nice.”He stops to lean into my neck and says, “I can’t wait to untie those shoulder straps later.”
