“You saw me playing the part!”

“She was undressing you!”

“We kissed, yeah, but that was it.”

“Liar!”

He came at me again, a hand on each shoulder and shoved me further back against the tree. “I’m not lying to you. I play the part because of Finley–”

“Liar!” I spat again, scowling at him. I tried to jerk my body away, but he held me perfectly still against him.

“Stop calling me that. Look at me and see I’m telling you the truth.”

I didn’t look at him. I turned my head away from him and at the direction of the party. I could hear the happy chattering and was once again tempted to scream. I didn’t want this. He had no right to show up out of the blue, fuck with my emotions and then lie about who he’d been fucking. I saw him, plain as day, with a woman who was ready to go down on him. Like hell I would believe his bullshit!

Pain erupted at my chin as he gripped it and forced my face in his direction. I struggled against him, stomping at one point on his foot. He didn’t flinch. Fuck him and his steel capped boots!

I couldn’t bear to look him in the eyes. My heart was only so strong. They were windows into his soul, and just one look into them and I would be a goner. I kept them directed at his lips instead.

“Since you came back, it’s just been you,” he whispered. “I play the part, Sara. It’s going to end, though. I promise you, it’ll be over. That phone call… I said shit because I was so fucking hurt by what you did.” He let go of my chin and brought his fingers against my cheek. His sighed longingly as he felt around my face. “I kiss some girls. That’s as far as it’s gotten. I hide away in rooms, pretend I’ve gone all the way to keep Finley off my back. I have to pretend I’m okay so he leaves you alone. So he doesn’t think you’re still affecting me.”

My body deceived me. I looked into his eyes, and there it was: the honesty sincere in all of him, and it was searing me to the bone.

“So he could leave me alone? I don’t understand. Did he… Did he send that man after me?”

“I think he did. I can’t be sure.”

“How did you even know about that? How did you get that paper to me–”

“Why would I tell you that?” He shot me a bitter look, raking his eyes up and down my body accusingly. “You’d sell that person out in a heartbeat the second you got back to your fucked up man.”

“No, I wouldn’t. You’re just saying that because you’re angry. You know you can trust me.”

“No,” he disagreed with a shake of his head. “I don’t know that anymore, Sara. You’ve been at that clubhouse for months on end. For all I know, you’re brainwashed. Tell me, truthfully, why the fuck you gave yourself up to that guy.
