Chapter 26

Arlo

As I hear London retreat down the hall, I don’t want to be inside Marnie a moment longer. I can’t face even another stroke. I pull out, then quickly tuck myself back into my loose sweatpants. Fuck. I fight the urge to tear out of the kitchen and after London, but only just.

“I’m sorry, Marns, I just can’t. You’re right, I think I’m falling in love with her.”

Marnie looks at me like I just ran over her kitten. Twice.

I pace the kitchen like a hamster on a wheel.

“So…I’m gonna get out of here.” She slides down from the countertop, eyeing me warily. I’m so lost in my own thoughts I momentarily forgot she was even there. I look up and meet her gaze.

“Yeah, look, I’m sorry….” I reach for her arm, but she jumps back, snatching it from my reach as though burned. I guess in a way she is.

“Don’t, Arlo. Just. Don’t. Even.” I watch her head off down the corridor, just like London.

Why the fuck did it take me putting my dick in another woman for me to realize that the only person I ever want to be in that position—or any position—with ever again is the one I’ve just hurt in the worst possible way? More to the point, how the ever-loving fuck am I going to fix this?

A little while later, I jump in the car and call Jake as I drive.

“Hey bro, to what do I owe this unexpected pleasure?” He’s a jovial bastard. Makes me want to throat punch him a lot of the time.

“I’m on my way over. I need to talk to you.” There’s a pregnant pause where I’m willing to bet Jake is mouthing something about loser Arlo dropping in uninvited to his wife, Kris, before he speaks again.

“Yeah, okay, man, all cool. Umm… I’ll see you soon.”

It sounds like it’s anything but cool. Any decent human would turn right back around and leave Jake to his family time. Unfortunately, Jake is dealing with me, not a decent human, so I carry on driving.

“Yeah, ’kay. You got booze in the Cave or you need me to stop at the store?”

“Nah man, you’re good, I got it covered. But if you’re hungry bring takeout, and we’ll eat it in there. Kris is already pissed about the impromptu visit without you eating us out of house and home, too. And we all know how much you love her mac ‘n’ cheese.”

I laugh. Jake’s wife is great, but she takes no prisoners, and her wrong side isn’t somewhere anyone in their right mind wants to be, even though she officially makes the best mac in the Northern Hemisphere.

I’m not particularly hungry, but I stop and pick up pizza and donuts on the way in. The donuts are a peace offering for Kris and the kids, and the pizza is just in case hunger kicks in at some point.

Forty minutes later I pull up outside Jake’s huge suburban family home. I still can’t fathom
