I roll my eyes because that’s such a typicalduderesponse. “Well, it must be, considering the fact that I’m currently providing treatment to fifty virtual clients who need support with their relationships.”
“What?”
I smile proudly. “You know, I bet I could teach you and Madison a few things to improve your relationship, you two seem way too wound tight. I can practically feel the relationship issues radiating off you. Are you not satisfying her needs?”
He laughs, deep and hard. “I don’t need any help pleasing a woman. I’m quite successful at that.Something I know you’re aware of.Also, though your comments don’t deserve my attention, I guess you need me to spell it out for you. Madison and I are not in a relationship so please stop calling her my girlfriend.”
“Bullshit.”
He pinches the bridge of his nose. “Why is that so hard to believe?”
“Because I saw the way that she was looking at you. Totally ‘we’ve had sex together’eyes.”
He raises a brow. “Because that’s the way you look at me?”
“Not even close.”
He chuckles. “Why do you care so much?”
“I don’t.”
His eyes narrow at me. “You do.”
“I don’t.” I’m practically growling while he’s smiling.
“Rhiannon, are you interested in knowing about all the women I actually have had sex with?”
“No!” I shout. “Ugh, gross. Why are we talking about this? Of course, you’re just out here sleeping around catching diseases from the Northeast crowd. Thank God I had my annual exam to get tested last week after our last little rendezvous.”
“Yes, because I’m just crawling with STDs.” He rolls his eyes sarcastically. “Says the girl who seems to love dry humping with strangers all over New York City.”
“That was one time!”
“Yes, but one time too many.”
“You seemed to have fun. And” I lower my voice, “you came.”
“Yes. In my lucky boxers. The ones that you stole.”
“I’ll mail them to you, fuck! Apparently, you need them more than I do considering you just lost your case.”
He smiles at me. “I like when you’re flustered like this. I haven’t seen this side of you yet.”
I press my lips together. “Yet? You say that like you’ll see me again.”
“Aw come on, not interested in round three? Or are we on round twenty now?”
“You’re out of your fucking mind if you think I’m going to sleep with you again.”
We stand there, in a silent standoff, chests heaving, eyes narrowed. If there was ever a chance that Cain and I would hook up again, that just flew out the fucking window along with my dignity.
“The truth is, I did steal your boxers.”
He throws his hands up in the air dramatically. “I fucking knew it!”
“They’re back in Brookhaven, nailed to my bedroom wall and I’ve been doing some moonlit rituals on the dried up cum stain to impact your career.”
He throws his head back, laughing hard. “You know what, hell yeah. I honestly believe that.”
