DICE

I sit at the kitchen counter, rolling the dice over and over. Each time, I get even numbers. I growl, snatching them up as Rosey skips in. She comes to a stop, and I feel her eyes assess my half-naked body. “Who knew you were hiding all that,” she says, grinning with approval. “How much for you to drop the towel?”

I roll my eyes. “Go away.”

“You use that line a lot with me,” she points out, taking a seat beside me. “One day, I might take offence. What’s wrong?”

“Why do you always show up when—”

“When you need me? I’m so in tune with you.”

I laugh, because it’s hard not to when she’s so persistent. “I just had a harsh reminder of The Circle,” I tell her.

“Did it involve Rae being naked too?” she asks, arching a brow, and I nod. “Did you—”

“No, I wasn’t gonna take it that far today. She needs time and patience.”

“It’ll take a while for The Circle to get out of her head completely.”

I scrub my hands over my face. “How did you move on . . . yah know, after what Eagle did to you?”

She shrugs, shifting uncomfortably. Our last president, Mav’s dad, wasn’t a good man, and he hurt Rosey, getting her pregnant with Mav’s half-brother, Ollie. “I’m not sure I have,” she mutters. “I went down a destructive path, one I’m still on, I think. But sex, that came easy. It’s just sex. The emotions are what I can’t deal with. I always feel like . . . well, like I’m not worthy, yah know?”

“To be loved?”

“I guess. Some part of me still feels dirty and used. If I’m the one using men, it’s easier to deal with and I’m in control. At least, that’s what my therapist tells me.”

“You have therapy?” I ask, my turn to arch a brow.

She laughs. “Yep, imagine how crazy I’d be without it.”

She stands, almost pressing into my side, then I feel her mouth near my ear. “If you ever wanna burn off some of that worry, I’m good at the no-strings part,” she whispers, kissing me on the cheek and leaving me alone.
