Huck stalked past us and grabbed the handle on my suitcase, then looked at me. “Is this it?” he asked in a deep voice that made me tremble and press further into King.
“Yes,” I whispered.
“You’ve got a shopping trip in your future,” he muttered as he walked back to the door.
That was an odd thing to hear someone like him say. Did he think I needed more things?
“Don’t go,” King begged me quietly as his hand brushed against my side.
Blaise Hughes’s eyes were on both of us, but he said nothing. I was afraid to move until Huck was out of the room and away from King.
“We need to go,” Blaise said, breaking the silence.
King’s hand twitched against me as if he was struggling not to grab me. I was a very stupid woman. Possibly the stupidest female to ever walk the earth. I took in a deep breath and met Blaise’s hard expression with a determined one of my own.
“I’ve changed my mind,” I told him.
The corner of his mouth twitched so slightly that I wasn’t sure if I had imagined it or not.
“Is that so?” he drawled as if he wasn’t surprised in the least.
I nodded. “Yes. I’m going to stay here.”
King fisted my shirt with his hand, and his arm flexed as he held me firmly to him, as if he thought Blaise would come rip me away.
“Like I said, your choice,” he said. “Huck, leave the suitcase.”
Huck dropped the suitcase on the floor, and Blaise gave King one last look before turning and walking out of the room. The beast followed him. I stood there, not moving until their footsteps were gone.
“Fuck,” King sighed and grabbed my waist to turn me around.
I held up a hand to stop whatever he was going to do next.
“I said I was staying. I didn’t mean here, in this room. I have conditions, and I have lines that I’m going to draw, and you’re going to respect them.”
I wasn’t sure what those lines were yet. I just knew I had to find a way to heal the damage he had caused before I could accept even a friendship with him. He wanted me here, but I didn’t trust the reasons why.
“Anything you want, sweets,” he replied, reaching up to cup my face.
He was going to make this so freaking hard.
