“Why are you dodging the question?”
“I’m not dodging a damn thing.”
Okay, maybe I was.
But my brother didn’t need to know that I’d showed up at Skye’s apartment uninvited just because I’d gotten a bad feeling. Or that I was kicking it with another chick when the shit happened.
I’d never been the type to let feelings stop a woman from riding my dick. Not once.
But I couldn’t shake the shit.
“You’re definitely playing dodgeball. But it’s cool. I’ll get it out of you.”
“There’s nothing to get.” I shook my head. “Trust me, this is not a you and Nyx type of situation. Skye and I are cool. We fuck when we need to fuck, kick it when we need to kick it and go on about our lives.”
“And you think that shit is cool with everything she’s gone through?”
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t think she’s a little too vulnerable to be getting caught up with you?”
“She’s not caught up with me. She’s chilling.We’rechilling.”
I knew from the outside looking in, it seemed like Skye and I had a lot more going on than we really did. Despite what it looked like, we were kicking it way more than we were fucking. We’d only had sex a few times before she pumped the brakes and made it clear that she didn’t want to get caught up in a sexual situation. Given her experience with Mecca, I didn’t fight her on it. But that didn’t mean I had to stop seeing her, at least on some friend type of shit. Skye was cool, and she was funny as hell. The vibe I got whenever I was around her was something I’d never experienced before. I couldn’t explain it. I just knew I couldn’t get enough of it.
“Who you fooling? You don’t chill with females.”
“Bullshit! I got a lot of female friends.”
“Friends with benefits you mean?”
I shrugged. “But they still friends though.”
“Man, whatever.”
My cell phone rang.
“What’s up, Jassi?”
“Nothing. You guys find Skye yet?”
“Nah, not yet.”
“Damn, I hope she’s okay. I’ve called around to see if anyone has seen or heard anything, but?—”
My phone beeped with another incoming call, and I hurried to look at the screen.
“Hell yeah. This is what I’ve been waiting on. Jassi, let me call you back.”
“Okay.”
I clicked over. “What’s up? You find him?”
“You know it. We’re behind his ass right now.”
“That’s what I like to hear. Stay on him and send me the location as soon as he stops.”
“Sure thing.”
