Carter let himself into his penthouse and instantly found himself in Kaitlyn’s arms. “I missed you.” With those words, she planted a kiss on the tip of his nose, and Carter couldn't help but feel heavy.

The second she pulled back, she seemed to realize something was wrong. Her eyebrows nearly met over a crease between them, and she studied his eyes, as if searching for what she'd missed. “Are you okay?” She released him, taking a step back, and crossed her arms across her chest, still studying him.

“You were at Black Magic Coffee with Devon.”

She winced as if he'd slapped her. “Yes, I was. And I told you that you have no right to tell me who I can and cannot see. You don't own me.”

Why couldn't she understand where he was coming from? Why did everything always come back to her feeling like he was trying to control her actions? “I'm not trying to control you. I'm trying to understand why you were meeting up with my enemy - and yours - behind my back. If the roles were reversed and I was sitting at Black Magic Coffee with Devon and talking, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable with that?”

Her eyebrows lifted, as if she hadn't thought about it from that angle before. “Well, no, but...” She trailed off and Carter gently pushed.

“But what? Now take it a step further. If I was living in your home and had full access to everything you own, and I was out meeting with our mutual enemy, would you be comfortable with that?” Maybe this way she would understand that it wasn't about him trying to control her. Clearly, she was used to the kind of guys that would tell her what she was allowed to do, what she could wear, who she could hang out with. But that wasn't Carter's intent. His intent was that they both felt safe within their relationship, within their time spent together.

She didn't seem to have an answer.

“Now, I'd like you to imagine me hiding all of that from you. Then consider if you’d feel afraid for my wellbeing when you found out.” Carter took a step toward her and gently reached out to touch her arms just above the elbow. “I'm not trying to control you. I am afraid for you, and I'm not a fan of my enemy having the power to manipulate you into possibly doing his bidding. Make no mistake; Devon is manipulative and dangerous.”

“Why do you hate him so much?” Her softly spoken question had Carter stopping dead in his tracks.

For a moment, he thought about telling her the truth, before walking over the couch and sitting down. Patting the spot next to him to let her know she was welcome to make herself at home and that this might be a lengthy story, he inhaled.

“Devon and I used to be best friends. Almost brothers, actually.” The second Carter started talking, Kaitlyn walked over and sat beside him on the couch, all her attention locked on him.
