Val was silent as they circled the neighborhood looking for another parking spot, and I wondered what I’d done wrong now. I also wondered how long it would take for him to say our kiss shouldn’t have happened.

My stomach clenched, and I was sick at the thought. Every time he touched me, it turned into a cause for regret or guilt, which was more alienating than the men who only spoke to me in the hopes of getting their dicks sucked. At least in those cases, I was also in it for nothing more than the sex, and we were upfront about it from the get-go. Val, on the other hand, had a knack for making me feel like a mistake.

Once we were at his apartment, his front door was shut and the locks were clicked into place, he leaned against it and stared at me without turning on the light. I could still feel the hunger in his kisses, like he’d finally released everything he’d held back for years, but he’d also hesitated over and over again. Not wanting to keep pushing, unsure if we should take it further. For all I knew, he saw Luis’s interruption as a sign.

“Was that all I get?” I asked. “Vehicular make out?”

“Look, I’m tired, and you had a rough night—”

I arched an eyebrow and put my hands on my hips. “If you want to back out of this conversation, or whatever that was in the car, please don’t act like you’re doing it for me. I’m here to figure things out with you. Or I’m here to fuck you. Preferably we could do both.”

Val’s hands balled into fists. “I just need to think.”

“You didn’t need to think when you were kissing me. And you’d stopped thinking by the time I had your dick in my hand. It would have been in my mouth had your friend not decided it was the right time to be funny.”

That drew a reaction from Val much stronger than discomfort. He pushed away from the door and stalked over to me. “You don’t take anything seriously, do you?”

“What should I be taking seriously?”

“What happened in the car!” Val’s voice boomed in the small apartment, loud enough for me to flinch. “When you go back to Manhattan, I know you’ll have to deal with the fallout of the gossip magazines and your brother, but when you’re off in your two-million-dollar apartment, I’ll be here, watching my back for Bronson wanting to run up on me after coming from the gym.”

Some of my self-righteous irritation died down, and I ran a hand through my hair. “But Luis . . .”

“Luis won’t be around to have my back all the time,” he said harshly. “Fuck. And now it sounds like I’m blaming you, but I’m not. It’s not your fault.”

“Then why are you so pissed at me?”

“I’m not pissed at you, I just wish you’d take things more seriously!” Val started pacing the apartment, shaking his head and cracking his knuckles.
