“Leave your key.”
He pulled his jacket on, rolling his eyes. “Because this isn’t your house.”
“No, but I’m your neighbor. Do you think I’m going to steal something?”
“No, but I have to leave, so you do also.”
I was a little put-off by his attitude. Okay, more than a little. I was downright pissed. He was actually kicking me out of bed after keeping me up half the night.
And I only had myself to blame. I would have been fine if I had left after round one. Yes, rounds two, three, four, and five were all great, but I would have been satiated. Yet, I had allowed myself to stay because of some misguided thought that things might just be different last night.
I threw off the covers and gathered my robe, pulling it on. It looked like I was going to do the walk of shame yet again. Only this time, more people would witness my terrible decisions. At least this time I was wearing a robe.
“I’ll be home late tonight,” JR said as I walked to the door.
“And?”
“And I’m letting you know for when you come over.”
Scoffing, I grabbed the tea mug out of his hand and headed for the door. “Don’t wait up.”
“What?”
I shoved the door open, heading over to my house. This time, Milo was nipping at my heels.
“Josie!”
“What?” I called over my shoulder, not stopping.
“What the hell is that?”
“I’m busy tonight!”
“All fucking night?”
“Oh, you bet I will be,” I laughed, stomping up the steps of my house.
I let myself in and slammed the door, just barely missing Milo’s tail. He whined, thumping his tail against the ground as he stared up at me.
“Don’t look at me like that. Mommy and Daddy are fighting.”
He whined again, but it was interrupted by the door being shoved open and JR stalking inside my house. The storm in his eyes raged as he stared at me.
“What the fuck is your problem?”
“Excuse me?” I asked.
“Suddenly, you have plans all night?”
“I’m sorry. Does that interfere with you using my body all night for your pleasure?”
“Yeah, it does,” he answered, not even bothering to sound the least bit ashamed of his words.
“Well, I guess you’ll have to get over that. I’m not available.”
His jaw clenched hard as he stared me down. “Why the fuck are you being like this?”
“Like what? Unavailable?”
