Page 112 of Nothing to You
“So now’s the time to tell me if you were just being polite.If you don’t want this, we’ll back out.The contracts aren’t signed.I wanted your take on it first.”
“I thought you always knew best.”
“I do.Just want to see if you better understand that after learning I’ve done this good thing.Why is your shirt still on?”
They were a team.A duo.A force to be reckoned with.He came across as standoffish or even snobbish to people who didn’t know him.When he did things like this, took steps without needing her go, he was far from withdrawn.
“You were rude to the SIT people.”
“They’ll get over it.”
“You didn’t make a good first impression.”
“Good.They’ll come to you and Leon if they need anything.I’ll never remember who they are anyway.Take interest in anyone?”
“I was too busy answering your messages.You’re a distraction.You should find something else to do with your time.”
“I did, and then she moved to New York.”
She tsked.“I did notmoveto New York.I’m coming back.”
“Still haven’t told me when.”
“I don’t know yet.Rox introduced me to Freya Dere.”
“Hey!Frey!How’s she doing?”
“Amazing, she’s an amazing woman.I don’t know that I understand your K2 friend for dumping her.”
“It was mutual,” he said.“His family didn’t make it easy for them to be together and her grandfather wasn’t wild about the family putting pressure on her.”
“If they loved each other, they would’ve made it work.”
“Yeah,” he said.“They did love each other.Still do, I’d bet.But it’s not that kind of love anymore; it’s not sex and sparks.”
“They’re friends?”
Which might make sense, except she and Rourke were friends too, and they were all about the sex and the sparks.
“I’ll send you into the forest with K2.He’ll explain it.I don’t know.He’s odd anyway, he’d rather commune with nature than chase pussy.He’s a crazy guy.”
“You don’t chase pussy, you just claim the nearest one when the urge takes you.”
“Instinct, Babycakes.We’re still cavemen at heart.When we want it, we’ve got to do whatever it takes to get it.”
“Whatever it takes?Within the confines of the law.”
“Another reason you have to come home,” he said.“I don’t have to worry about gray areas when your pussy is always available.It is available now too, if I could be bothered getting on a plane.”
What a hardship, a private plane, every whim catered for, and he still implied it was effort.
“You haven’t stopped taking advantage of my pussy, even with the country between us.Zairn gave me an apartment.”Which he knew.“We’d have the place to ourselves.”
“I gave you an apartment here.What’s wrong with that?”
“Well, your apartments are more like upscale dorm rooms.Zairn gave me a view over Central Park.”
“The difference between me and Zairn is, he has his pussy with him and doesn’t need yours.You don’t need a view here because the drapes can stay closed.You’d be on your back for a week as soon as you got here.”
