That meddling bastard.
Link clapped, and then I felt his hand brush over my back. “Perfect. See you tonight, baby.”
“Don’t call me that,” I shouted to his retreating form and heard his laughter before he entered the house again.
Wolf pressed the unlock button, and I yanked the door open.
The image of strangling my boss and friend made me smile. Wolf scooted over on the seat.
“Maybe if you had told me what happened between you and Link last night, I wouldn’t have intervened.”
“I’m asking you as my friend to please stay out of this from now on. I’ll see Link when I wish to. I’ve already told him I wasn’t free for four weeks.”
Wolf studied me before he nodded once. “You have my word I won’t interfere any longer.”
Sighing, I relaxed back in the seat. “Thank you.”
“But since we’re now speaking as friends, will you tell me how last night went? Four weeks, seriously?”
Snorting, I shook my head. “You’re too nosey.”
“It is a fault of mine.”
“I enjoyed dinner with him, and I said I’d consider seeing him exclusively.”
Wolf smiled. “You’re dating.”
“We are not. I said I would consider it.”
“He already sees you as his,” Wolf pointed out.
“I know,” I bit out. “But he doesn’t mean it.”
“I like this for you, Ryo.”
My heart stumbled.
I did like Link’s attention, too, but I wouldn’t allow all my walls to drop and risk being hurt.
“I’ll see how things go.”
“He shot Ross for the way he looked at you.”
Pinching my nose, I groaned. “Please don’t remind me.”
“I think it’s sweet, since you did cut off Ross’s fingers for the words he used against Link.”
“I did not.”
Wolf smirked. “Sure.”
At least I never would admit that I let my anger get a hold of me for that brief moment.
CHAPTER FOUR
LINK
Aguy named Katon showed me into the ginormous house. I got a kick out of taking off my shoes and putting slippers on. Made sense, though. Saved the dirt coming off my shoes into the clean place.
