Chapter Four

ALL MY LIFE I HAD DEALT with feeling like I was missing a big piece of who I was until I’d joined Airi Moon. Recognized for my talent, the real woman I was shined through. I didn’t have to pretend. Now, I was the woman that Press didn’t want anymore. I was the woman he pretended to want. The truth stuck in my throat, tears burned at the back of my eyelids. I was suffocating.

How could you let this happen? I asked myself as I hastily skimmed back into the black dress and stuffed my panties into my purse.

“It’s not that simple, Play,” Press was saying. “Things have changed.”

“Uh huh. I can see that.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

I glared at him. “I, a woman not known for getting attached or being commitment-minded, do the impossible and think I could be in a commitment with you and you would want the same thing. What was I thinking? It’s not every day that I go around telling a man that I love him. It’s not every day that I think, hmmm, maybe I’d want to give up the same ole same ole and take a risk with a man who makes me feel—” I closed my eyes, “—amazing. If I had known that you wanted out, I wouldn’t have said a damn thing to you at all. You can let me out of this limo. I’ll find a cab back to the hotel.”

“So, you’re just going to run away without letting me explain?” He frowned, folding his hands together.

I could hear the disapproval in his deep voice. I was sick of other people trying to tell me what was good in their sights. As far as I was concerned everyone could put on some damn shades because I was done! “I think the way you are acting is answer enough, don’t you?”

He nodded, his jaw set in a firm line. “So be it, Play. Everything has to be your way.” Pushing the intercom, he instructed his driver to turn the limo around and head back to the hotel.

“Are you trying to put this off on me?”

Press turned to look at me. “From the moment I met you, you’ve had this fucking iceberg on your shoulder, and I’ve been trying to chip away at it. I know what your background is, Play. I’ve read the articles. I pay attention. What would make you think that I wouldn’t understand just how much it hurts to feel judged, weighted, and measured because of where you come from? Do you know how tiring it is to wonder if someone wants you for you or for the money attached to your name?”

I tried to swallow the lump in my throat. I hadn’t thought a person in Preston’s standing would have that issue. “You say you know what it’s like, but you truly don’t know what it’s like.”

“That’s it, try to keep yourself on that damn high horse your ass is going to end up falling off of.
