THAYER

 

“Darling?” She just bumped into me and seemed in such urgency. “Are you okay?” 

 

“Am I okay? Do you really care?” She glared at me, those blue eyes darkening.

 

“Of course, I do.” My brows met in confusion. Why would she think that I didn’t care? Then a warning siren alarmed my head. 

 

Shit! I told my sister that was a bad idea, but it seemed to work. Only Kennedy hated me beyond measurable.

 

“Get off of me.” She jerked out of my arms. “Asshole.”

 

“You should not get used to cursing on me, Kennedy. Especially in public.”

 

She shook her head, blinking. “Do you know that your—” She abruptly stopped.

 

“Do I know what?”

 

“Never mind. Why are you here?” She crossed her arms over her chest. 

 

I didn’t usually hold back what I wanted. I went after it, but with her, I learned to practice my patients, even celibacy. When I looked at her chest, those swells that I missed, all I could think of was throwing her to bed and make love with her.

 

“I want to take you somewhere.”

 

“Not interested.”

 

“Fine, but tell me what you’re about to say.”

 

“Not a shit.” She went to the door, sending me a signal to get out.

 

“Darling,” I warned her.

 

“I hated it when you call me that.” She was lying. I knew she liked it. There was always a glint of pull in her eyes every time I called her darling. Besides, she was the only one I’d ever call that endearment.

 

“Then suck it up because I would never call you babe or baby.” 

 

I glared back. My lips tightened. I’d been playing cat and mouse with her for days while she was playing hard to get. This had to stop. 

 

“Get out, darling.” She rolled her eyes, mimicking me. 

 

one—no one has ever treated me the way you do, but that’s not the point. It’s my fault why you’re mad at me. I’m here to apologize for taking you involuntarily. I’m sorry. If you only answered my call and replied to my messages, that abduction wouldn’t have happened. I have every reason for your questions, Kennedy. But because I respect you so much, I’m
