Chapter Twenty-Three

My heart is still pumping wildly when I reach the safety of my room. I sit on the edge of my bed, cradling my head in my hands. All manner of confusing thoughts and emotions jumble my mind. My chest heaves visibly as pain slices a clear line through my heart. There has only been one other occasion where I’ve felt as gullible as I do in this moment.

How could he share intimacy with me last night and then crawl all over another girl the very next day? I feel so cheap, so used. And unbelievably foolish. Old nightmares resurrect to haunt me, and I clutch my stomach, as the usual bout of self-loathing batters me on all sides. Not for the first time in my life, I wish I could rewind time and stop myself from making such an awful mistake.

I don’t know what game Kyler is playing, but I’m damned if he’s going to use me for some nefarious aim.

As I get ready for work, I curse myself for my naïveté. Ky had no intention of starting anything with me. I was an itch he felt the need to scratch, and I was an idiot to buy into it, to believe it might be going somewhere. I slam my palm against my forehead in frustration.

He played me, and I fell right into his trap.

Well, I won’t fall for it a second time. This thing between us is over. Period. And it’s clearly for the best. I don’t understand why he got so worked up at the track, but that’s neither here nor there now.

It’s as well I discovered this now before my heart was even more invested.

I grab my bag and yank open the door, almost falling head first into Ky’s arms. “Get out of my way,” I snarl, pushing at him.

“No.” He batters his forearms. “Not until you let me explain.”

He starts pushing into the room and I step back. What the actual fuck?! “Explain?” I yell. “Your body language gave me all the explanation I need!” I’m incensed beyond all reason, and something snaps inside me. I raise my clenched hand and punch him in the face. Hard. I put every ounce of my hurt and humiliation into the blow, and it pleases me no end when he staggers back, clutching his jaw. He looks shocked as he stares at me, but then the shock gives way to laughter. He’s doubled over, clutching his stomach, and an angry red flush steals over my cheeks. How dare he make fun of me! The urge to hit him a second time is strong, but I’m so done with this. “Screw you. You deserve that cow. I hope you’re both miserable as sin together. Now, get out of my room, get out of my face, and stay the hell out of my life.” I roar that last part for extra emphasis.

His laughter withers and dies. He shoots me a terse nod. “Fine. Message understood.”

I slump against the wall as he walks away, willing my pounding pulse to settle down.
