He mirrors it right back at me.
"What the hell is this?" she snaps. God. I forgot that one was still here. I grin, lips still near Rava's jaw.
"This? Oh, this is just foreplay."
He elbows me in the ribs lightly, but he still chuckles.
I turn to her, with my hand still rubbing his thumb. "He gets feisty when people doubt us."
"Cut the shit, Gio," she snaps.
Oh. Oh, fuck no.
Now I hate her voice even more.
I look at her, dead in the eyes. "Watch your tone. You're not untouchable, and I'm not the one you wanna push."
She steps forward. Rava tenses in my grip, but I hold him still. "You're just doing this to humiliate me."
"Nah," I say.
"We're doing this 'cause we look good together."
I glance over her shoulder and spot someone in the crowd, a familiar flash of bleach-blond hair and too many bracelets. Enzo.
"Shit," I mutter. "I’m gonna go say hi, lover," I murmur, then press a quick kiss to his cheek. I turn away and my gaze lands right back on Sophia. Then I look at her and wink.
"Be a doll and don't stress out my boyfriend too much while I'm gone." And I leave.
I honestly don't get how he lasted ten months with her. I can barely handle ten seconds. I walk toward Enzo. My old friend.
He's genuinely insane, not in the cute way. What the hell is he doing here?
Last time I saw him, he was half-dead from an overdose and screaming at a dealer because they wouldn't give him more, ready to swing at anyone. His hair is still bleached, obviously. It's always bleached.
"What the hell are you doing at this stupid party?!" I ask.
Enzo just grins and taps his nose.
Ah. He's got coke. Of course he does.
"And you?" he shoots back.
I drop my head. "Work stuff..."
Then I lift my chin and tilt it toward Rava and Sophia. Enzo follows my glance and lets out a low whistle.
"Ohhh. I love this type of work. Is it a love triangle? What's going on? You quitting the whore business?"
I snap my eyes to him.
Excuse me?
A whore?
I'm selective with who gets access to this dick, and I sure as hell don't sell it.
"It's not a love triangle," I mutter, rubbing my eyes. "It's just a fake thing I don't even fucking know why I'm doing."
