As Brie’s eye started to twitch, Vaughn knew he was fucked.

She was going to kill him.

And he couldn’t blame her.

Jensen warned him.

Standing up, she reached for her shirt, throwing it on. “You don’t want to be in a relationship?”

“No.”

“But you yearn for me? Need me? Want me? All that other jazz?

“I do.”

“Are you fucking kidding me?”

“No. I meant everything I said.”

“But you don’t want more than to fucking fuck me?” she yelled, her face turning red. Shit, was she going to cry? “Is that all I am, a fucking fuck?”

“Well, no, I like you just fine—”

“Just fine!” Taking in a deep breath, she pinched the bridge of her nose. “You like me just fine, enough to fuck me, and spit some mad game, but I’m not good enough to have a relationship with. I can’t believe this.”

She stomped past him, and he followed. “Brie, it’s not like that. It isn’t you. I don’t want to be in a relationship with anyone.”

“So that makes this okay?”

“Brie, wait. Stop for a second, I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Oh well, lookie here, you’ve done it twice now! You’re on a roll, JoHo.”

“I thought you wanted the same thing.”

“What in the world would make you think that? Did I say that?”

“You didn’t say otherwise either.”

She glared. “Touché, you ass. But when have you ever known anyone to be like, ‘Hey, I’m just here for the sex’?”

He held her gaze. “Almost everyone I’ve ever slept with.”

Her eyes widened, almost crazed as she threw her arms in the air. “I’m not them. You know I’m not, and still, you couldn’t tell me that you didn’t want anything more than sex when you were begging me to go to bed?”

He shrugged. “I mean, I was begging for you to go to bed with me, not marry me.”

And then it happened. She punched him hard in the middle of the chest, knocking the breath out of him. “That’s so not right. You said all these beautiful things, you made me feel special, important, and it was only to get in my pants? How far would you have let this go? Until I fell for you?” When he caught his breath, he looked down to see that she was crying. Big, fat tears rolled down her face as she shook. “That’s not fair.”

He didn’t know what to say. He hated tears on women, they sucked, and soon he was rambling. “You’re right, it’s not. But it’s also not fair that I’m always the victim of your violence.”

“Oh, please, you act like I hit hard.”

“You shouldn’t be hitting me at all!”

“And you shouldn’t be leading me on!”

“I didn’t mean to.”

“Apparently, you never mean to do anything. You just do and leave everyone in the wake of your assholeyness!”

“Brie, it isn’t like that. I honestly didn’t—”

“Yeah, whatever, Vaughn. You know what gets me is I thought you were different. I thought you were this good guy, but it was all a lie. Man, you’re really good at hiding behind that damn organization you’ve got.
