"I don't know," I finally said. "But I feel like you're trying to tell me something with the request."
She sighed. "You said you don't care if I'm all-in. That means it won't bother you if I hook up with someone else."
I saw red again.
So much fucking red that I had to roll off the bed and jog into the shower as my entire fucking body burst into flames.
She didn't follow me in, and I sat beneath the water as I stabbed my fingers against my phone's screen to type out a text.

You were right.
I told her she doesn't have to be all-in on our relationship, I think she wants me to admit otherwise
Mer
Then admit otherwise
Why would you tell her she doesn't have to be all-in?!
You're mates!
Me
I never wanted to take her freedom
Mer
If you're not willing to admit the truth, you'd better be ready to watch her fuck someone else in front of you
Me
I don't think she'll go through with it just to make a point
Mer
Are you really willing to take a bet on that?
No.
I wasn't.
Which meant I needed a plan to counter hers. Immediately.

I smoothedthe stretchy fabric of one of my kick-ass rompers over my stomach. It was probably a poor choice for a sex club, but it made me feel less exposed than the hundred other items I’d tried on.
Kat leaned back in the decorative chair she occupied in the bedroom I shared with Darius. "Are you sure about this?"
We'd gone shopping together for a good part of the day. Dare and Callum had Cabinet shit to do, Kat wanted company, and I had been looking for something to wear that night.
Hadn’t found anything, so it was back to my trusty, hot assassin romper.
