Funny how that possessiveness didn’t work both ways and they felt free to cheat.
“We’ll go on the train in a few minutes, buddy.”As soon as I scrape off the unwanted man behind us.
Or more like the man now next to her.
She groaned under her breath.
“Zeke, go away!” she whispered fiercely.
Of course she was ignored.
“This your kid?” Zeke asked Glen.
Holy shit!“Zeke!”
Glen’s eyebrows pinned together, probably confused on why some stranger was asking. “No.”
“Glen, you don’t have to answer any of his questions. Just ignore him.”
“Whose kid is he,Glen?”
“Some loser.” Glen’s head tipped to the side as understanding filled his eyes. “Is that loser you?”
Oh no.They needed to get away from Zeke before hewent all caveman alpha asshole and caused a scene. Ledger didn’t need to witness that. No one did.
“Come on, let’s go get on the train.” She gave Ledger’s hand a squeeze and gave Glen a look she hoped he could read.
Ignoring Zeke’s stiff body and concrete-like jaw, Glen handed the cotton candy to Ledger. “Here you go, kid. Doesn’t a train ride sound like fun?”
“Yeah!” Ledger yelled, getting all twitchy with excitement.
Just wait until that sugar hit his veins. But with everything going on, she wasn’t going to take it away from him. Not yet, anyway. She’d let him have a little of it, then when he wasn’t paying attention, she’d toss the rest.
Or Glen could finish it.
Either way, she didn’t need her three-year-old bouncing off the walls.
“What do you say to Glen?”
“Skank you!”
Kyra coughed to hide her laughter. “It’s ‘thank you.’”
Ledger tried again. “Spank you!”
“Close enough.” She injected some enthusiasm in her tone. “Let’s go! I can’t wait to get on the choo-choo!”
“Choo! Choo!” Ledger crowed, then took a big bite of the cotton candy, making his mouth, chin and nose a sticky mess.
With a hand to Kyra’s back, Glen steered them away from Zeke and toward the “train station.”
Not that his actions stopped Zeke, of course. “Kyra, I need answers.”
“I don’t owe you anything. My life has nothing to do with you. Not anymore.”
When he went to grab her arm to bring her to a stop,Glen slapped a hand against Zeke’s chest. “Leave. Her. Alone.”
Oh shit.
