“Definitely gonna have to stitch it.”
Reva sucks in a breath through her teeth. Her eyes squeeze shut for a split second. When she opens them, they’re bright and furious.
“You’re enjoying this,” she spits.
“Yank,” Isay, and keep my voice light because she needs light right now even if she hates it, “if I was enjoying it, you’d be enjoying it too.”
Her cheeks go hot.
Ever’s head snaps toward me—warning.
Nash’s gaze flicks between us, sharp and curious.
I ignore both of them and get to work giving her a numbing shot, hands steady. She keens softly. “Give that a few minutes to take effect and numb you up.”
And that’s when Nash turns on Ever again.
“Now,” Nash says. “Tell me what the fuck happened after.”
Ever’s shoulders go rigid. “After?”
Nash’s gaze drops to Reva’s mouth. “After he ran.”
Reva stiffens. “Can you do this later?”
Ever’s jaw flexes. “That’s not your business.”
Nash shifts his weight, voice going low and lethal. “It became my business the second you put her in my house bleeding and half-shut down.”
Ever’s gaze flashes. “That isn’t fair, and you know it.”
“She’s still shaking,” Nash snaps. “And you?—”
Reva cuts in, voice sharp. “Stop.”
Both men go still. Something in the way she says it hits a nerve. A line they didn’t expect her to draw.
“I’m right here,” she says, and her breath catches. “If you want to talk about what happened, you can talk to me.”
Nash’s eyes hold hers. “Then answer.”
Reva’s brows knit. “Answer what?”
Nash’s voice is flat. “What were you doing in the woods?”
Reva’s gaze flicks to Ever. Ever doesn’t move.
“I wanted air,” she says finally, stubborn. “I wanted to walk.”
Ever’s jaw ticks, but he doesn’t contradict her. Not in front of Nash.
Nash’s gaze shifts to Ever, sharp. “And you followed her.”
Ever’s eyes go colder. “Yes.”
“Is that it?”
“Why don’t you just ask what you want to know? You already know that I went in the woods, and I was attacked. So why don’t you ask what youreallywant to know—did you and Ever have sex. We did have sex, Nash. We were high on adrenaline, and I had my wicked way with him, and when he noticed I was bleeding and tried to stop, I wouldn’t let him. I told him I’d never let him fuck me again if he stopped. Does thatanswer your question? Did I leave anything out, Ever, or did I hit all the highlights?”
