Chapter Eleven

Swordplay

“Sweetness, if you don’t start ducking when I come at you, I’m going to have to spank you.”

“Rhys, I’m not in the mood.”

He stuck the sword tip into the hardwood flooring and wiped the sweat from his brow, but beads continued to stream down his chiseled chest. “For what? The spanking…or the fighting?”

I threw down my sword. “Neither.” I started for the door.

“Whoa, chica, what is wrong? You never give up a fight. And one day you’ll be begging me for that spanking, but something’s wrong. What is it?”

“Nothing…thanks again for your help.”

He jumped in front of me, his long black hair slick with sweat. “Oh, no. What is it? Linden, I’m your friend. Talk to me.”

“I can’t. I don’t have any friends. I have a horde of potential fuck buddies, but every single one of my friends comes with a heap of baggage.”

He sat down on the floor and motioned for me to sit. I reluctantly took his cue.

“Sweet cheeks, I don’t know if you know this or not, but every man you’ve been friends with is no different than any of us. You may not have seen it, but I can guarantee that if he’s a man, he’s calculating the fastest course to getting in your pants. It’s just the way things are.”

“Not with Clarence.”

“OK, maybe not him. But trust me, any other man is angling for a piece no matter what the pretense. No matter the game, the goal is always sex.”

“I used to confide in Olivia, but after the incident with Michael things have been tense, plus she’s in Europe. I’ve always depended on Clarence and now I may have doomed him.”

“Don’t be so dramatic. That man is stoked. Do you know what he’s been doing all week? Werewolf movies. He thinks he’s going to be howling at the moon. And don’t let him fool you, sweet stuff, he’s looking forward to it.” He flashed me a big smile. “I keep telling him that if he ends up shifting, he’s going to turn into Mary, not the beast, and then we’re going to make him start serving breakfast around here.”

“You told him that?”

“Yeah, he hit me. He’s a strong motherfucker.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“See, you just need to calm down. Know that you do have friends.” He grabbed my hand and squeezed. “You have me.” His mouth twitched. “But if you’re ever looking for a hot time at the drive-in, I’m your man.”

I smacked him. “I meant to say something to you about that. Sex at the drive-in is supposed to happen inside the car.”

“Na. How are the people going to get to see my slick Spanish moves if we’re steaming up the windows? On the hood, baby, no other choice.”

“They aren’t supposed to see us. You have some of the strangest fantasies.”

He stood and extended his hand to me.

“You have to admit, sweet cakes, it’s a lot more fun than being bound and gagged and subjected to Sinclair’s bullshit all night.”

I took his hand and stood.
