Chapter Nine

Slade

I caught my breath while Trinity lay beside me. My chest was covered in sweat, and I felt exhausted and satisfied. My parents were out at dinner, and Trinity and I took advantage of the opportunity to get it on.

She sighed happily beside me.

“Rocked your world, didn’t I?”

She rolled her eyes. “Sure.”

“You know I did.”

She stared at the ceiling.

“I always make you come.”

“Do you want a medal or something?” she asked irritably.

“What’s your problem?”

“I’m tired.” She closed her eyes. “I’m always tired after sex.”

“Did all the other guys make you come?”

Her eyes flashed open. “Do you really want me to answer that?”

I’d never been the jealous type. At some point in our relationship, I started to think about all the other men she’d been with. For some reason, it pissed me off. I wanted to be the only one in her life. It was the oddest sensation to feel. I’d been with more girls than I could count, so wasn’t I being hypocritical? All I knew was that I never wanted her to wish she were with someone else. I wanted to be the best she ever had—every time.

“That’s what I thought.”

I let the conversation drop. “Do we fight too much?”

“Yes.”

“I’m being serious,” I snapped.

“Yes is still my answer.”

“Do you think it’s bad?”

She shrugged. “That’s just how we are.”

“My parents argue too, but it’s nothing like you and I.”

“We’re different. So what?”

I never wanted her to leave me. She brought me so much joy. The idea of losing her was too much to bear. Every time I thought about how Cayson and Skye might never get back together, I clung to Trinity even more. “I could stop if you want…”

She turned toward me with confusion in her eyes. “What’s gotten into you?”

“What?”

“You’re…weird.”

“I’m not weird,” I argued.

“When have you ever cared about us fighting?”

I shrugged. “Everyone says we do it a lot.”

“So?”

“I just…if you’re getting sick of me…I can change.”

Her eyes softened. “Slade, you’re perfect the way you are.”

I snorted. “That’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear.”

“You are,” she said firmly. “I wouldn’t change anything about you.”

“Nothing?” I asked incredulously. “Really?”

“Okay…maybe a few things.” She rested her hand on mine. “But they’re minor things.”

My fingers moved against hers.

“What brought this on?”

I stared at the ceiling, my body starting to cool off. “It’s weird that Skye and Cayson are…might never get back together.”

She sighed in sadness. “I know. It’s crazy.” She eyed me for a moment. “What did Cayson say when he went to Skye’s apartment? I would ask Skye for the details, but I’m afraid she might hang herself.”

Trinity and I never talked about them. Cayson never asked me to keep his situation with Skye a secret, but I felt like I should keep my mouth shut. It seemed to be a conflict of interest. “I don’t know…”

“Yes, you do,” she snapped.

“I…I don’t want to talk about it.”

She growled. “What’s the point of sleeping with you if I don’t get anything out of it?”

I said nothing and stared at the ceiling.
