“A little.”
“Okay, this level is more than a little, so you wanna fill me in on specifically what’s crawled up your ass right now?”
“Oh, hell, no.” I scowled, swiping my phone open again.
“Bab—”
“You didnotjust say that to me.”
“As sexy as you are gettin’ all southern on me, we need to talk, and I think Billy’s would be a good place to do that.”
My stomach rumbled, and he apparently heard it because he smiled in triumph.
“I can take a car to Billy’s,” I said.
“You’re not takin’ a fuckin’ car to Billy’s. You’re gonna get your sweet ass on the back of my bike and press your pussy tight to me.”
“I have yet to hear an apology from you, so until that happens, I’m going nowhere.”
“What exactly am I apologizing for?” he asked. “Why don’t you tell me so we can eat?”
“You’re such an ass.”
“I’m sorry for being an ass.”
I let out a frustrated grunt. “Just take me back to the cabin. I need to study.”
“No,” he said slowly. “We’re going to Billy’s.”
“Separate tables.”
He grinned, leaning forward and stealing a kiss.
I swatted at him like I would a bug. “Get off me.”
“We need to get to a place of peace before we get on my bike, baby, so give it to me.”
“I don’t feel like I should have to tell you what you should apologize for.”
“I’m not a mind reader, Raquel, so help me out.”
“You mean, besides the fact you were going to let a psycho keep my best friend prisoner?”
“Yeah, besides that.”
“You left without telling me you were going to Denver after not sleeping with me last night.”
“Do you need me to point out that your best friend was in bed with you, and believe me, baby, I’ve had a threesome, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.”
I wrinkled my nose. “You’ve had a threesome?”
“Focus, Razzle.”
I frowned. “We’re going to loop back to the threesome later.”
He slid his hand to my neck. “I’m sorry I didn’t let you know I was heading to Denver. It was last minute, and, honestly, if your brother wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have gone.”
“What makes my brother so special?”
