"You know what I mean." He gnashes his teeth; frustrated I'm not falling in line with hisdemands.

"Actually I don't. Explain it to me." I cross my arms, plumping my breasts, making him stare directly at them. I laugh. "My eyes are up here, by theway."

He closes his eyes; obviously pissed he got caught looking. "That's why!" he whisper-shouts. "This is not okay. You're my little sister's bestfriend."

"So?"

He’s shocked I'm demanding more of an explanation. "That's all the reason I need. You're like a sister tome."

I have to hold back my anger. I can't believe he went there. "You sure didn't think that lasttime."

"That was a mistake," he grunts. "Wait. I call bullshit. Did you know it wasme?"

I step back, not sure how to answer. He reaches out, pulling me intohim.

"You knew it was me, didn'tyou?"

I bite my inner lip, knowing there's no way out of this. I tilt my head down,nodding.

His lifts my chin so I meet his eyes. "How did you know I'd be here? I get the feeling this isn't acoincidence."

I shake myhead.

"Are you saying no, it's not a coincidence, or no, you're not going to tellme?"

I take in a shaky breath. "It's not acoincidence."

"How did youknow?"

"Tracy toldme."

His hand goes limp, and the skin around his maskpales.

"How does she know? Holy fuck, please tell me she's not going tojoin."

I push him back. "Wow, double standardsmuch?"

He pulls me back into him. "Very much so, especially when it comes to my little sister and her bestfriend."

"Well, your little sister isn't so innocent. She dated Derek, or should I say, she fuckedDerek."

I see the anger in his eyes, and I'm not going to lie. It makes me happy to see him upset as me. Derek was Connor's best friend growing up. I can only imagine the thoughts going through hismind.

"She put an end to it when she met Scott, telling him you'd never approve. He tried to rebut that by saying you wouldn't care, and you belonged to a members only sex club, so you wouldn't have a leg to stand onanyway."

"I'm going to kill him," hegrunts.

"Okay then, go kill him. Bye-bye." I try to make a getaway but he stops meagain.

"That doesn't explain why you're here. I know damn well she didn't send you. Sowhy?"

"Go away. None of that matters." I try to turn away from himagain.

"It matters to me. Why did you come to myclub?"

I don'trespond.

"Does she know you'rehere?"
